## What is Ooly?

Novo123 is the small family business behind Ooly, the adorable sleep companion that helps your child understand when it’s time to get up.

Effortlessly create healthy and customized naptime, bedtime, and morning routines with your Ooly. Simply use the Ooly Configuration App to set and record the color you want for various times.

- SAFETY FIRST - We're a small family business and our own children use Ooly. Therefore, safety first. This means that Ooly is BPA-free, battery powered (i.e.: cordless, so no chocking hazard), does not produce white noise (worried about potential addiction), does not have any camera or microphone (we're privacy freaks), uses Bluetooth Low Energy (same as medical devices) and includes a "blue blocker" mode (more on this below).

- DESIGN BASED ON SCIENCE - Ooly’s design is based on the scientific research of light and its impact on sleep. It is now proven that blue light inhibits the production of melatonin, delaying and disrupting sleep. Ooly is, therefore, equipped with a “blue blocker” mode to prevent the usage of disruptive blue light at nighttime. Parents should use dim red lights for night lights, as red has the least power to shift circadian rhythm and suppress melatonin.

- LONGER, MORE RESTORATIVE NIGHTS AND NAPS - Hell yeah! Ooly’s main difference from other available options is that we created a universe around a lovely character: Ooly the sleepy owl. Ooly is not only a physical product but a global sleep experience that includes interactive stories and positive reinforcement activities. Our goal was for the child to bond with Ooly so that Ooly becomes a more effective solution than the typically "inert" solutions we had to deal with as parents. In this sense, Ooly is a bit like the result of crossbreeding a lovey with a toddler clock!

- PARENTS DON'T HAVE TIME ...so ease of use is key. That's why Ooly is controlled remotely with an intuitive mobile app. Solutions with press buttons typically require a lot of trial and error to make work, and it is way too easy for kids to mess with their configuration. They are also easier to brake and damage. What’s more, since Ooly is remotely controlled, it is super easy for parents to make last minute changes like getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep on a Sunday morning.

- 30-NIGHT TRIAL, RISK FREE - As you can see, we didn't cut corners. This extends to our customer support as well. We're proud of Ooly, and we stand ready to help you and your children enjoy a magical experience with your new, adorable sleep companion. Please note that we manufacture Ooly in small batches so it may be out of stock from time to time.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and child friendly

*2026-06-29, version 2.3.4*

My daughter LOVES her Ooly. Especially bc she can carry it to the bathroom with her at night. It is also travel friendly when staying at other places. Plus the app and light capabilities and functionalities are user friendly and intuitive. Nothing else compares to this on the market compared to other kids night lights.

### 5/5 — We LOVE it!

*2026-06-29, version 2.3.4*

We absolutely LOVE our Ooly. My 2 year old has been a good sleeper in her her cot in her own bedroom but recently prior to getting our Ooly, she had a random dream and wanting a light on. Even though our sound machine has a night light, I didn’t want it on since it might disrupt her sleep. 

We live in New Zealand and our go to baby store is Sleepstore. I was browsing for a night light and was going to purchase a more traditional night light/sleep trainer clock. But the more I read into the reviews, the more I was convinced it is best for us to invest in an Ooly. The convenience of an app, no blue light, a cute character she loves, she can cuddle to sleep and associate for sleep, great for travel, can grow with her, etc, it was no brainer for us to get the Ooly instead. 

I’m surprised you guys aren’t big and I wish more people know of your product. We love it very much, thank you for creating it.

### 5/5 — J’adore ! Bel achat

*2026-05-20, version 2.3.4*

J’adore notre Ooly 🤍  
Un objet extrêmement bien pensé et au-delà de mes attentes!  

Ma fille comprend maintenant beaucoup mieux les moments du dodo et du réveil grâce aux couleurs. L’application supplémentaire avec les petites histoires sont tellement un bel ajout 

Je recommande sans hésiter. Merci pour cette belle invention!

### 5/5 — J’adore Ooly pour mon enfant

*2026-05-07, version 2.3.4*

L’application et Ooly marchent super bien. Ooly a énormément aide dans la routine de dodo pour mon enfant. Je le recommande fortement

### 5/5 — Cute and Helpful at Bedtime and Wakeup

*2026-03-30, version 2.3.4*

Our girls are really fond of their "Owly" and glad to know about bed times and wakeup times in a fun colorful and joyful way.

### 5/5 — Super produit!

*2026-03-23, version 2.3.4*

Nous avons acheté Ooly à la suite d’une recommandation d’une coach en sommeil. Celle-ci nous a parlé du produit en nous parlant des avantages (lumière rouge, rechargeable, contrôle à distance, etc.). Nous avions une Grow clock, mais notre fille (3 ans) avait tendance à jouer avec et la déprogrammer. En gros, nous sommes bien satisfaits de cet achat pour les avantages nommés plus haut et puisque notre fille a bien adhéré au changement une fois qu’on lui a expliqué le fonctionnement. Son utilisation nous permet d’avoir quelques minutes de plus le matin au lit.

### 5/5 — Love our Ooly

*2026-03-17, version 2.3.4*

I bought it used on ebay.  We are very happy with it.  It has a good battery life, and has survived several falls.  We heard about it from Lucie's List, which is a website that does product reviews for children's products.

### 5/5 — Really excellent

*2026-03-02, version 2.3.4*

Ooly is everything I had hoped! The flexibility of being able to set as many timings and colours as I want is fantastic, and it’s fully portable, which is key. We’re not even using this for a toddler, my son is seven, but Ooly provides gentle reminders of the passage of time in the evening (I have it set to change colour every fifteen minutes between 7:30 and 8:45) without having recourse to the dreaded clock. It helps that it’s so cute!

### 5/5 — Great device and app

*2026-02-19, version 2.3.4*

Really love this device and the app! Our 22-month-old was into the from day one and now gets genuinely excited when it comes on and cycles through the colours. I really think the owl character of the device (vs others on the market) is what immediately made him so into it! It’s helped make cleanup, stories, and bedtime far less chaotic, and we’re starting to use it to guide those early-morning wake ups. 

The app took a little time to figure out—maybe a few days before it felt intuitive—but it’s been worth it. It feels like it was built by people who understand toddlers, with practical options like limiting button presses so your kid can’t sit there toggling it endlessly. My only suggestion/ask is that I wish I could easily shift the entire bedtime routine easily, something we encounter often enough. The manual mode is a great option to have in these circumstances but it would be more convenient to shift the entire routine instead of having to go in to app to change to next colour while in middle of bedtime routine

### 5/5 — Très satisfaite!

*2026-02-12, version 2.3.4*

Nous l’adorons!! Mon fils de 2ans comprend très bien les consignes avec les différentes couleur et il dort avec lui dans son lit ce qui lui fait une petite veilleuse en même temps :) Il l’adore et il ne s’en passerait plus! Nous allons assurément en racheter pour notre deuxième enfant :)
