Luma
Built for routines that matter
Luma is a calm, visual reminder device that replaces noisy alarms and pings with elegant ambient light.
- No account
- No subscription
- Local by design
Not all habits are created equal.
But you wouldn’t know it in today’s world. Notifications and alerts have been optimised to compete for your attention, interrupting and often demanding an immediate response: complete, snooze, dismiss.
Tap Luma to cycle and dismiss its glow
Present in the room. Quiet in the background.
Luma waits until you’re ready.
Luma is designed to stay on, so you can finish what you’re doing and come back when you’re ready. Its coloured gradients glow softly in the background, creating a persistent notification without becoming intrusive.
One glance is enough.
Luma comes with preset and customisable gradients, so you can colour-code specific reminders. Know when it’s time to water your plants, take supplements, feed your pet, or hydrate—without opening an app.
Colour-coded
Give each routine its own gradient and recognise it at a glance.
Persistent
The light stays with you until the moment is right.
One tap
Dismiss the reminder directly on Luma when you are done.
Built with purpose. Made to be seen.
Luma has evolved through continued use and testing around one north star: reminders should support your rhythm, not hijack it. Its fully enclosed system is milled from high-grade anodised aluminium, so it belongs in view rather than being hidden away.

Three steps. Then it fades into the background.

Frequently asked questions.
Everything else you might want to know about living with Luma.
01What is Luma?
The Luma is a Wi-Fi enabled device that lets you schedule non-intrusive reminders. Set up a time, a recurrence (e.g. Weekly on Fridays), and a color, and watch it calmly notify you. The glow will stay on until you tap the device, so no pressure!
02How does it work?
By placing the Luma in a visible location and connecting it to your local Wi-Fi, you will be able to set up reminders for your daily, weekly or monthly routine.
03Who is Luma for?
Luma is for everyone. Create personal habits, share and schedule chores through color coding, or teach your kids important routines without noisy alarms or distracting phones.
04Can I have more than one Luma?
Absolutely! Luma has been designed with the ability to share reminders between devices. When you set up a second device in the same network, you have the option to add it to your "main" device. This way, you can pick and choose which notifications appear in which device! Two or more people in the same household can each have their own little army of Luma devices.
05Can Luma be shared?
Yes! Whether you share your PIN or set it up without a code for everyone in your household to use, just share the local address and everyone can add, edit, remove and tweak reminders on Luma.
06Does Luma use AI?
Luma does not have AI, because it doesn't need to.
07Does it require an account or subscription?
No, Luma works by itself. Once connected to your local network (required to keep accurate track of time and to allow configuring reminders) it is 100% yours to use. No accounts, no subscriptions, no extra fees.
08Is there a battery-powered version?
Luma comes with a standard USB-C cable, which you can connect to a power socket or a wall outlet to make sure it can stay on. While in theory a battery-powered Luma could be fun, the persistent and continuously glowing notifications that make it special would require charging the device every so often. At best, you'd be charging it every week. At worst, you could miss out on potential reminders if the battery goes off unnoticed!
09Are there more advanced features with Luma?
If you're ready to dive deeper, there is a world of opportunities with Luma. The API is open, so you can potentially schedule automations or Apple Shortcuts that trigger after certain actions! I myself have set up my Luma to glow with the bright red gradient at night if I'm about to go to sleep before having checked a "Top priority" item from my To-Do list!
