About this recap
Today, so far
A recap reflects available camera checks, not the whole day.
Your recap starts with new camera checks.
The little things, kept.
A photo story of home, one day at a time.
Make room for the good bits.
Playtime, a shared meal, a little time with your pet. Kiwi can keep a few photos worth coming back to.
Photos stay on this PC for 30 days. Invited family can view them here. Captions are AI suggestions; some moments may be missed.

When Kiwi is available
Keep the home PC awake, online and Kiwi running. A home camera works with the tab closed; a browser webcam needs its tab open. Kiwi cannot send an outage notice if the PC or its internet is down.
App controls
Quitting stops monitoring, alerts and live viewing for everyone. Reopen the OpenKiwi launcher on your home computer to start again.
