Real-life scenarios

Four ways Stovyn fits into the kinds of households we built it for. These are illustrative scenarios, not real customer testimonials — we'll replace them with real ones once we ship.

Aging parents

Caring for a parent across town

Maya, daughter / part-time caregiver

Maya's mom lives 25 minutes away and refuses to move in. Twice last year Maya drove over after a 9 PM phone call: 'I think I left the burner on.' Both times the stove was off. Once it wasn't. After installing Stovyn above her mom's stovetop, Maya gets a phone notification when cooking starts and a second one when the cooktop has been at high heat without movement for ~15 minutes. She decides whether to call. Most nights she doesn't have to. The 9 PM phone calls have stopped.

Neurodivergent

ADHD kitchen on Sunday meal prep

Devon, freelance designer

Devon has ADHD and cooks for the week every Sunday. The classic pattern: start a pot of rice, get a notification, end up answering Slack on the couch, smell smoke 40 minutes later. The Stovyn app is set to "Medium" sensitivity and pings Devon's phone exactly when the stove crosses an unsafe threshold. The escalation contact is Devon's roommate. They've never had to use it — but knowing it's there changed Devon's relationship with the stove. Cooking stopped feeling like a hazard.

Property management

Property manager · 14 short-term rental units

Hassan, STR operator

Hassan manages 14 vacation rentals. After two close-call grease fires from guests in 2025, his insurance carrier started asking pointed questions. Stovyn ships per-unit; Hassan paired all 14 from his phone in an afternoon. Each unit's status feeds a single dashboard. When a unit's stove has been at high heat for an extended window with no acknowledgement, Hassan's on-call cleaner (the unit's local trusted contact) gets the SMS first. The insurance carrier accepted Stovyn as a partial credit toward the building's premium.

Hospitality

Small Airbnb host who wanted privacy assurance

Priya, weekend Airbnb host

Priya rents her in-law suite on weekends and worried that "smart kitchen" devices meant cameras streaming to the cloud. Stovyn Standard ($99) has no camera at all — thermal sensing only. The Pro's camera processes locally; by default, no images leave the device. She framed it to guests in the welcome book as a safety device, listed it transparently on the listing, and got a small "responsible host" mention in a recent guest review.

Note: These scenarios are composites built from research interviews with caregivers, neurodivergent adults, and property managers. They are not testimonials from named customers. Once Stovyn ships and we collect real customer experiences (with permission), we'll replace these with named stories.
