Rinse

I built Rinse on Home Connect’s open API to make starting my dishwasher one tap instead of a hunt. The official app tries to do everything at once: 5 tabs, 24 promoted tiles and a recipes section. In a dishwasher app. The one thing I do every night is 4 taps away instead of one.

I start the dishwasher from bed, so Rinse opens on a black screen with one button. By morning it turns white and simply says Clean. If salt or rinse aid is running low, it tells me.

When something stops the wash, like an open door or a lost connection, the screen turns red and says what to do next, with one button to try again. The four other main programmes sit behind a settings cog if I ever need them.

The official app has no widget. Rinse has one, so starting the dishwasher is a single tap on the home screen before bed, using the same colours as the app. The icon is an upside-down bowl.
