Robot vacuum apps in 2026: which one for your robot
A robot vacuum works with its maker’s app. Xiaomi robots are added in Xiaomi Home, Dreame robots in Dreamehome, Roborock robots in Roborock, and Roomba robots in Roomba Home (models sold after March 2025) or iRobot Home (Classic). All are free to download; check the app named in your robot’s manual.
How we picked: we matched each brand to the app its maker names, from the developer’s own store description or the maker’s support page, and noted what each app does with the robot.
