No more saying "teeth, shoes, bag" 10 times. A Dayling is a small screen on the wall that shows children what to do next, in pictures. They tick it off themselves, and their own creature smiles back.
Three taps a routine. Parents set it up once on their phone; the Dayling does the reminding.
Every child has their own, in their own colour. Up to 8 children on one Dayling.
Big picture tiles that children understand before they can read. Only today's routine shows, at the right time of day.
Teeth
Make bedThe creature smiles, the day's dots turn green, and the week builds towards the reward the parents chose.
Each Dayling gets its own scene, or follows the seasons. The sky turns to dusk in the evening, all by itself.

RainbowParents choose what each child works towards. Every task a child ticks moves them along, and each step they reach brings the reward set for it.
An example. Her brother Peu can have completely different ones.
13 of 20 tasks ticked this weekSilver reached - 3 more for gold
Brothers and sisters also share a team goal, like pizza on Friday, so the week is about helping each other.
Medals, the day's dots, moods and celebrations each have a switch on the parents' phone.
Daylings started at home, for our own two children, and the first Dayling still hangs on our kitchen wall.
And always the same eye-roll, or that famous "Ugh!"
They check the wall, and tick it off themselves.
They are our testers, too: every new feature reaches them first, and nothing reaches another family that we would not hang in our own kitchen.
No ads, no camera, and nothing about the children that it does not need.
A Dayling has a touch screen and a small speaker for happy sounds.
Only parents sign in. On a Dayling, a child is a first name and a colour.
Parents can download everything, or delete the household for good, from the parent page at any time.
Ticks wait on the Dayling and arrive later with the time they really happened.
A Dayling, bought once, and the subscription that makes it work.
Then €40 a year. Paying monthly instead: €4 a month, so €98 in the first year.
Another Dayling: €50 once, and €10 a year or €1 a month more.
If the subscription stops, the creatures go to sleep. The family's history waits 90 days.
Can be cancelled at any time Daylings keep working until the end of the paid period.
Any phone charger works A Dayling plugs into any phone charger already at home - there's none in the box.
VAT included Postage is extra, and free in Portugal for 3 or more Daylings.
Up to eight, each with their own creature, routines and rewards.
No games, no videos: only today's routines and how the week is going. The screen dims after 2 minutes untouched.
It works from before they can read, since the tiles are pictures first.
Any time, from the parent page on a phone. The Dayling picks it up on its own; nobody needs to touch it.
A Dayling shows what our service works out: the routines, the week, the rewards. The subscription keeps that service running, backed up and updated - without it, a Dayling has nothing to show.
The case hangs on 2 keyholes or sticks on with strips. The best spot is near a socket for the USB-C cable, where the home Wi-Fi reaches. A Dayling uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which almost every home router has.
