Daylight DC-1 Gets Major Software Update: Better App Compatibility

Daylight’s August 2025 software update is the most significant since launch. The update focuses on Android app compatibility — a long-standing pain point for a device running a custom Android build on reflective display hardware.

What’s new:

• Improved color mapping for standard Android apps on the LivePaper display
• New “Focus Mode” that strips UI chrome for distraction-free reading
• Performance improvements reducing display refresh latency by ~15%
• Better Bluetooth keyboard support
• Fix for the persistent Wi-Fi disconnection bug affecting units sold before March 2025

The DC-1 remains a niche device, but these updates show Daylight is actively investing in the software experience post-launch.
