The Bedside Storyteller That Calms the Most Restless Minds!

CALMY is a storyteller device with a twist! It offers audio stories, calming sounds, and light ambiances perfectly adapted to kids of all ages.

CALMY is a storyteller device with a twist! It offers audio stories, calming sounds, and light ambiances perfectly adapted to kids of all ages.

Its user interface is incredibly easy to use thanks to a big color touch screen.

We created Calmy to help kids to:

boost their imagination and creativity, foster their curiosity, make them discover new worlds, cultures and adventures, improve their memory and concentration, cool down and control their emotions, get ready for a better sleep.

We have selected thousands of your favorite audio stories for kids and add new selections every week! Take your pick from both audiobooks and podcasts.

Thanks to a big color touch screen, it is really easy to listen to any stories in less than 3 taps.

To avoid any distraction, the touch screen automatically dims once the story starts.

Calmy is connected to the internet via wifi* (Wifi connection is automatically turned off at night).

With easy-to-use timer settings, you can adjust Calmy to turn off at any point, like after the story ends or after a certain number of minutes.

Calmy doubles as a circadian light with 24 multi-color LEDs inside the device to display virtually any color. With the help of lumino therapists, we’ve created several preloaded ambiances to produce effects for focus, calmness, and more!

Did you know?

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to researchers who identified molecular mechanisms that control the circadian rhythms. Circadian lighting aims to keep the body’s internal clock aligned with the 24-hour diurnal/nocturnal cycle by emitting bright bluish light during the day to suppress the melatonin that our brains produce as a natural sleep aid. As evening approaches, yellowish light allows the hormone to flow freely. In addition to audio stories, Calmy can play a large variety of calming sounds, ranging from a fireplace to a calm river. These loops are perfect to put your child to sleep and can be combined with your desired light ambiance and sleep timers.

You can define when you want the device to turn off (after 20 minutes for instance). Alarm clock

Calmy is also an alarm clock, but instead of your child waking up to the shrill sound of “bip bip bip”, Calmy plays a tranquil loop of your choice. Choose from birds, space sounds, or even a crowd talking. Doing so, you’ll make sure that your child always wakes up progressively, putting them in a good mood.

Wake-up light

Calmy can gently turn on its light in the morning to help your child understand when it’s ok to wake up and run into your bed to start the day!

Automatic updates

Since Calmy is connected to wifi, we can automatically update your device with new content and features “over the air”. We have tons of ideas that we plan to develop or adjust based on your feedback over time ...

The design of Calmy is elegant and timeless to insure your child will still like it in years from now. However, you will be able to customize it thanks to a clever clipping system with several designs*

Child development research

Thanks to our amazing community, we managed to develop Calmy in the midst of the pandemic. Despite physical limitations, the process was still very fun and allowed us to hone in on the scope of Calmy.

The overall consensus was that the product must be extremely simple to operate without the need for documentation, timeless in its look, and have the ability to evolve and adapt with fast growing children.

Hardware

We designed Calmy in between San Francisco, New York and France.

Software

We opted for a very child friendly interface with big colorful icons and a touch screen. It is extremely easy to use for people of all ages.

Calmy complies with the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We don't collect any personal information of the children nor the parents.
