FAQ
About DayNest
What is DayNest?
DayNest is a range of smart family calendar displays designed for Australian homes. Each model provides an always-on shared screen for spaces such as the kitchen, hallway or living area, giving your household a convenient place to view calendars, routines, reminders and other family information without needing to open a phone.
What makes DayNest different from a tablet or digital photo frame?
DayNest runs on unlocked Android with access to Google Play, so you are not locked into a single family calendar platform. Your DayNest includes 12 months of Sense Family Organiser Premium, but you can also install other compatible calendar, routine, productivity, entertainment and household apps from Google Play. There is no mandatory DayNest subscription required to continue using the device.
Sense Family Organiser and Software
What is Sense Family Organiser?
Sense Family Organiser is the family organisation platform included with DayNest. It brings family calendars and household information together in a shared interface and supports features such as calendar synchronisation, reminders, routines, chores, meal planning and AI-assisted scheduling.
Sense can also process supported school emails, newsletters, PDFs and other information to help identify important dates and turn them into calendar events and reminders. Every DayNest includes 12 months of Sense Family Organiser Premium.
Do I need a subscription to use DayNest?
No. DayNest does not require a mandatory subscription to continue using the device.
Your purchase includes 12 months of Sense Family Organiser Premium. After that, you can continue with Sense's available free features, choose a paid Sense plan for additional family-organiser features, or use other compatible Android apps and calendar services. Any ongoing subscription costs therefore depend on the apps and services you choose to use.
What happens after the included 12 months of Sense Family Organiser Premium?
You can choose what works best for your household. You may continue using Sense's available free features, subscribe to Sense Premium, or use another compatible Android calendar or family organisation app. Your DayNest display itself remains usable regardless of which option you choose.
Can I use DayNest's calendar and routine functions without Sense Family Organiser Premium?
Yes. DayNest is an unlocked Android display with access to Google Play, so it is not permanently dependent on Sense Family Organiser. After the included 12 months of Sense Premium, you can continue with Sense's available free features, choose a paid Sense plan, or use another compatible Android calendar, routine or family organisation app.
What additional features does Sense Family Organiser Premium provide?
Sense Premium provides additional family organisation and automation features beyond the free plan. These currently include connected Google, Apple iCloud and Outlook calendars, school and sports calendar feeds, chores and routines, rewards, meal planning and recipes, document storage, medication management, unlimited AI actions, family display features and support for unlimited family members.
Sense controls its own plans, pricing and feature inclusions, so these may change over time.
How does DayNest connect and synchronise with our phones?
DayNest works like an Android tablet connected to your household's internet services. Rather than your phone connecting directly to the DayNest screen, both devices normally use the same family organiser, calendar or cloud account.
For example, family members can update Sense Family Organiser, Google Calendar or another compatible shared service from their phones, and those changes can synchronise to the DayNest display through the service being used.
Can family members or support people update appointments, reminders and routines remotely?
Yes, provided the app or calendar service you choose supports shared or remote access. With Sense Family Organiser, family members can access the shared household organiser from supported phones and devices. Other services, such as shared Google calendars, can work in a similar way.
This means appointments and other information can be updated without someone needing to use the DayNest display directly.
Can I use apps other than Sense Family Organiser?
Yes. DayNest runs unlocked Android with Google Play, so you can download compatible apps directly from the Google Play Store. This can include calendar and productivity apps, streaming services, photo display apps, smart-home dashboards and other Android applications.
Display Models
What models does DayNest offer?
DayNest currently offers five models:
- DayNest Go — 15.6-inch portable display with desk stand
- DayNest One — 21.5-inch wall-mounted display
- DayNest Plus — 24-inch wall-mounted display
- DayNest Pro — 32-inch wall-mounted display
- DayNest Flow — 32-inch display with a weighted rolling stand
Each model uses the same unlocked Android approach but is designed for a different room size, viewing distance and mounting preference.
Which model is right for my home?
DayNest Go is suited to households wanting a smaller portable display without permanent wall mounting. DayNest One provides a larger dedicated wall display for smaller to medium-sized kitchens and shared spaces. DayNest Plus offers a spacious 24-inch screen for open-plan kitchens and family living areas.
For households wanting maximum visibility, DayNest Pro provides a permanent 32-inch wall-mounted command centre, while DayNest Flow offers the same generous 32-inch screen size on a rolling stand for households that prefer flexibility or do not want to permanently mount a display.
