Calm technology designed to make kids healthier, happier and smarter.
No overstimulating colors, no attention traps, no junk content, no algos, and, most importantly—no more meltdowns.
Like reading a book, our grayscale display has a gentle, paper-like experience that minimizes distraction and overwhelm.
With a display that is visible in direct sunlight, children can take the device outside for outdoor time and natural light exposure.
Blue light exposure at night can cause sleep disruption. Our blue light and flicker-free screen supports natural sleep cycles with it's amber light. Great for evening use too!
Every app is handpicked to support young minds and meet them where they are in their interests and learning needs through their growing years.

Parents love
Daylight!
"It's the only computer I feel comfortable sharing with my kids!"
"Daylight is a more humane way to bring technology to the education system."
"Huge difference in not getting lost in the screen. I would far rather my child be working or playing on Daylight."
"It's the only tech I'll let my children use."
"I don't have the same level of concern and worry and I'm not having to constantly check on them—you know it's not completely wreaking havoc with their biological clocks."
"What we've noticed is that when it's time to transition there isn't a freak out. There isn't a blow up... There isn't this massive shut down of her system. This is incredible."

iPads have hyperstimulating colors, flickering backlights, and blue light that disrupts sleep. Their interface uses dopamine-driven design with constant notifications to maximize screen time. On the other hand, Daylight's paper-like display is monochrome, blue-light-free, and flicker-free, supporting natural circadian rhythms. Our software is built for focus, not engagement—no pop-ups or vibrations.
Yes, you can download games and media apps such as YouTube Kids from the Google Play Store. While the Daylight can run them, the monochrome paper-like display is intentionally designed to make games and media less stimulating and addictive than on a typical color screen. We have also curated a selection of apps for children that are entertaining and educational.
The Daylight Kids Bundle for 3-7 year olds ships with a protective EVA foam case to keep the Daylight safe during active adventures and rough-and-tumble play. For 8-12 year olds, we offer a Comfy Sleeve that protects the device from bumps and fits nicely in backpacks for school and on-the-go use.
