Meet Genie — a warm, palm-sized lamp that reads your calendar and glows one colour so the people around you (family, flatmates, colleagues) can tell, at a glance, whether this is a good moment.
The whole language of Genie fits on one line. No apps to check, no screens to read — just colour, from anywhere in the room.
No buttons. Genie's smart interaction engine reads taps, lifts and shakes through an internal accelerometer — so you never have to reach for a phone mid-sentence.
You buy the lamp roughly at cost. The 99p covers the calendar service that powers it — and it's one fee per account, no matter how many lamps you have.
