Daylight Computer Co. is a Public Benefit Company [1] [2] that designs and manufactures devices that do not emit blue light or flicker. [3] Anjan Katta, the company's founder and CEO, stated that he started the company to reduce his personal eyestrain and the distraction that came with conventional devices. [4]

The first device that the company has released is the Daylight DC-1, an electronic ink (E-ink) style tablet that is designed to be used outdoors but can be used indoors utilizing the amber backlight. [5] The company's goal is to create a "healthy computer." [6]

History

In June 2018, Anjan Katta began the process of designing a device that did not emit blue light or flicker. He was inspired by the Kindle stating that he wanted to create a device that was, "an analog object that happens to have digital magical capabilities.” [7] By 2020, he created his first scientific prototype and created the first proof-of-concept prototype in 2021. [6] In the early research and development stages of the device, Katta had spent $300,000 of his own money. Eventually, Katta obtained a $12 million investment from current and former executives of companies such as Oculus, Pinterest, and Dropbox. [7]

In 2024, the company held a launch party at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park for the Daylight DC1, the company's first device. The event had roughly 200 attendees. [8] Later that year, Daylight sold out its first run of 5,000 devices. [2] [7] The Daylight DC1 is a 1.2 pound tablet that runs its own operating system, SolOS, based on Android 13. [4] It has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, fast enough to process video. [9]

In 2025, the product was demonstrated by Danny Jones on the Joe Rogan Experience. [3] The company has been described by outlets such as Wired and VentureBeat as a "returning computing to hippie ideals" and being a product for "techno-hippies." [7] [8]

The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. [5]
