DayNest Setup Guide
Let’s set up your DayNest.
Your phone is where you build the plan. DayNest is where the household sees it.
Start today, on your phone — before it even arrives. By the time your display is on the wall, it’s already full of your family’s plan.
The 5-minute quick start
Do the first four on your phone today. The last one waits for the box.
Which DayNest is on its way?
The steps are the same for every model — here are the sizes so you know what to expect in the box.
Set it up on your phone, while it ships.
This is the part that makes DayNest stick. Get the plan in now, and your display arrives already full of your family’s week. Sense is where you build the plan; DayNest is where everyone sees it.
Get the Sense app on your phone
Start before your DayNest even arrives. Download the Sense app — it’s where you build your family’s plan, and everything you set up now appears on the display the moment it’s on the wall. Free to download on iPhone and Android.
Forward one thing — watch it become the plan
Before you set anything else up, try the part that makes families fall for Sense. Send one real thing and watch it turn into calendar events — no typing.
Forward an email to share@getsense.ai, or send a photo or PDF from your phone. A school term schedule can become calendar events in seconds — always check important dates before relying on them.
Is what I forward private?

Make your family’s shared space
In the app, create your household — the shared space your whole family draws from.
Your DayNest includes 12 months of Sense.AI Family Calendar. We’ll remind you before it ends. You choose whether to continue — nothing renews by surprise.
What is Sense.AI, simply?
Get everyone in — especially the other adult
Add everyone in the household and give each person a colour. Colour is how a glance at the wall instantly says whose day is whose — and letting the kids pick theirs is the moment they buy in.
Get your partner or co-parent to install Sense on their phone too. When two adults are both adding to it, the mental load is genuinely shared — and DayNest never goes stale.
Do the kids need their own logins?

You don’t have to move to a new app — DayNest just displays your calendars together. The more you connect now, the fuller your display looks the day it arrives.

Add one simple routine
Add one morning routine in the app. Start with the sequence you already do — uniform, lunch, bag, shoes. You can always add more once the family gets used to it.
What makes a good first routine?
Bring it home — the easy part.
You’ve done the real work on your phone. Now it’s just place it, power it, and watch it fill with everything you already set up.
Put it where life happens
Lift it out and put it where your family already gathers — the kitchen bench, the fridge, the hallway. Stand it on the counter or mount it on the wall. Visibility is the whole point.
Where should I put it?
Turn it on and get it online
Plug in, hold the power button for two seconds, then choose your home network. Joining Wi-Fi is the only technical step — and it’s just a normal Wi-Fi login.
Your DayNest plugs into wall power and stays on — that’s what keeps the family plan always visible. DayNest Flow uses a rolling stand setup, so place it near power and follow the included stand instructions.
Nothing on the screen?
Can’t see your network?
Watch it fill with your plan
The moment it’s online, everything you set up on your phone appears — calendars, colours, routines and reminders. No configuring at the wall. The whole family just sees the plan.
Your phone adds things. DayNest is where the household sees them.
What good looks like.
You’re set up enough when DayNest can answer these at a glance:
Start there. You can grow into the rest later.
Grow into it when you’re ready.
Start with the calendar. Add these as the family settles in — each one gives everyone another reason to check the wall.
Your first week with DayNest.
Setup is the easy part. This is how DayNest stops being a gadget on the wall and becomes the thing your household actually checks — without anyone being nagged.
Put it where life happens
Mount it where everyone already stands still for a moment — the kitchen bench, the fridge, the hallway. Visibility is the whole point.
Point everyone to their colour
Gather the family and show each person their colour on the wall. Seeing themselves on the display is what makes it theirs.
Make forwarding a habit
Forward school emails, flyers and event links to Sense instead of retyping them. The wall stays ahead of you.
Add the repeat questions
What’s for dinner? What time are we leaving? Who has sport? What needs packing? Put the answers where everyone can see them instead of asking one person.
Keep the screen calm
If the wall starts to feel busy, remove what nobody actually uses. A calm screen gets read; a cluttered one gets ignored.
Let the kids own something
Let each child own their colour, a routine or a task. Checking their own thing on the wall is what turns “the screen” into “my screen”.
Review the wall
What did people actually check? What was missing? What questions still came back to one person? Adjust from there.
It’s not about perfect setup.
The first week is not about perfect setup — it’s about teaching the household where to look. Once everyone knows to glance at the wall, DayNest is working.
Questions families ask.
Is my information private?
What happens after the 12 months?
Which calendars work with DayNest?
What if the Wi-Fi drops?
Can we use it across two homes?
Do the kids need their own logins?
What about returns and warranty?
