Ever wonder why 8 hours outside feels energizing but 8 hours in an indoors leaves you drained?
We tested what you’re actually getting from indoor lighting vs. sunlight. It turns out that modern LEDs are optimized for efficiency and brightness, not for mimicking sunlight.
Cold LEDs are extremely high in short wavelength blue light, and completely absent of more restorative red + infrared light.
Blue light is only bad when it is not balanced with lower energy wavelengths, and this is the reason why indoor lighting feels so overstimulating and draining to our body.
Sunlight is full spectrum: all visible wavelengths plus UV plus infrared that balance each other out. We need lighting that more closely mimics sunlight if we want to feel better indoors ☀️
How do you feel about indoor lighting?

Our light environment has a drastic impact on our mood, our energy, and our overall health status. Switching from warm lights to cold lights in the name of “energy efficiency” is in our opinion of the biggest mistakes in modern times. We are now overstimulated, chronically fatigued, and have disrupted our natural biological rhythms as a result of this switch.
These blue dominant LEDs are also what light up our screens, which is where our eyes spent the vast majority of our day focused on. We are already seeing the negative repercussions of excessive screen time proliferate throughout society, but the key point is that the screens could be designed differently. They don’t have to be overstimulating and dopamine based, they could be calm and utility based.
It is time to bring back warm, amber lighting. It’s time to make screens low stimulation and warm as well.
This is our mission. If we change the environment around us we can support human flourishing rather than suppress it.

We are in the process of updating our privacy policy to be more accurate of our current data collection and privacy values. We made the mistake of working with a legal entity that used a lot of permissive language which is industry standard. Lawyers are expensive and often fear driven, but we have learned our lesson and take accountability for putting something out that isn’t indicative of the truth.
The actual reality is that we do not collect ANY on device data right now. In future versions of our Sol:OS, we only want to collect anonymized analytics that will be able to be opted out of if preferred to in the system settings. The purposed of collecting this data will only to better understand device usage metrics, not customer behavior habits.
You can actually verify this through network logs by inspecting network requests on existing devices using tools like HTTPToolkit [1] or Android Logcat [2].
[1] https://httptoolkit.com/android/
[2] https://developer.android.com/tools/logcat
We are happy to answer any questions / clear up our stance on privacy as a consumer hardware product. We value this tremendously, and even more so for children using a Daylight.
We appreciate the community calling this out.

Update on software ☀️
To the wonderful ecosystem of Daylight users,
We have an update on Sol:OS and our software timelines. We want to bring you in on our priorities and how we're thinking about things as we learn and grow.
The software team at Daylight has reached a milestone in stability and capability to better plan out into the future, and we want to provide an update on what we’re working on.
Our software team is currently focused on building strong foundational systems for the product. For example: a better system for device updates, a new system for performant reading, marking, and editing documents, and groundwork towards our operating system. We're prioritizing these projects to make sure we have a solid foundation to deliver the experience of computing, reading, writing, and using apps that we envision is possible.
Unfortunately, we need to walk back a promise we made. We originally stated that we’d ship a version of Sol:OS at the beginning of this year. We didn’t properly anticipate the level of rebuilding that we needed to create the kind of operating system we’re proud of. Between paying down tech debt and coordinating among software, hardware, and our manufacturers, our estimates were off.
In March, we hit pause and took stock of each surface we were building. Now, with a more complete picture, we have a better sense of where we are and what happens next. A lot of our current work will initially be less visible to users. There has been a lot of internal deliberation and we recognize this tradeoff. We’re focusing our energy here to invest in the reliability and long term future of Daylight.
Building the foundations is going to take us some time, and we’ll balance shipping small wins for our users with larger chunks of work. We now expect to launch the foundations of a Daylight operating system closer to Q4 this year. You can expect regular updates from our team like this one every couple of months starting this summer.
We are truly excited to show you what we're creating. It's just going to take a bit more time than we expected. We welcome any questions and aim to give you all the information we know now.
We’re working to deliver a future of computing that we’re proud of.
With warmth,
Tanuj, Ethan, the rest of the software team, and the whole Daylight organization

Your screen is flickering hundreds of times per second.
Most devices use PWM dimming: rapid, invisible flicker that contributes to fatigue, eye strain, and poor sleep.
Blue light filters won’t fix it. Flicker is a different mechanism entirely — one that disrupts your biology without you noticing.

Basically, we've legally been advised by our lawyers that we had to update the policy for specific different regions (Switzerland, Europe, California) and because we've reached a critical mass of people, and to cover our bases for fundraising. As part of this, we had to be more specific about all the data that lives on our servers is. We never intended to imply this kind of data gets used for any other purpose than error logging and loading and syncing the content in your library. Nor will it ever be used for any other purpose.
If you compare it with the prior policy, you will see they are identical on this point. It's inconvenient that the standardized nature of these policies has implications other than what I'm describing, but it's very expensive to change and we have to be judicious about where we direct our resources. When the time is right, I'm sure we will make all these distinctions more explicit. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but I can assure you that as a technical fact, and in terms of the 13 people who work at this company, there isn't any intent or implementation that behaves the way you're concerned about.
A last statement about encryption since you also mention it: the data is not encrypted at rest, so that we can process it for title-generation, length, PDF generation and so on, and so backups and syncs are easy. Every piece of data is e2e encrypted in the same way Signal messages and so on are: over https, the same way your banking information is protected. To encrypt at rest is a major technical undertaking we do intend to get to eventually, and we have put in work there, but it's going to take more time. If you're curious, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption

Hi @nprofile…jrdl , this is Drew, head of software at Daylight. Just want to clear up some misconceptions here.
Everything in Reader *IS* end-to-end encrypted, and we do not, and will never, sell any such data to any third party. We have crash logs and things of this kind that are only used for internal development. Another example is that, just physically, our servers have to detect that your tablet is trying to update. In practice we collect less data than any device you have likely ever owned, and will continue to make things more and more paranoiacally secure and private to the greatest extent we can.
If anyone has questions about what we do, how it compares with other devices, and so on, feel free to message.
I'll also add that we openly encourage you to use the device however you wish and even help with things like custom ROMs and so on, through the https://www.daylighthacker.wiki.
In my non-expert, non-legal opinion, the policy update doesn't substantially change anything from the previous version, but does add more detail that our lawyers have told us we need. Overall it's fairly standard. As our tech improves and the business grows, we will be able to afford more specificity and bespokeness in these kinds of documents. For now it's good that the notice we sent is sparking a discussion.
Long-term, a totally custom operating system that isn't based on Android, and incorporates things like homomorphic encryption at rest and so on is still the goal, but it will take time to get there.
