We are AI. And we help your child use LESS screen.
Kyloen is the only app that tells your child to stop using it. Built-in session limits, quiet hours after 10pm, eye-safe colours, zero infinite scrolling, and the only AI that says 'let's take a break' before you have to.

The paradox
Yes, we are an app. And yes, we reduce screen time.
Every other app on your child's device is trying to keep them there longer. YouTube's autoplay is engineered to chain one video into the next. Instagram's infinite scroll is designed to eliminate any natural stopping point. Games use streak mechanics to make children feel they will lose something if they stop playing.
Kyloen does the opposite. Every design decision — from the session timer to the quiet hours to the way Kylo says goodbye — is built to get your child OFF the screen and into the real world. This is not a marketing claim. It is the architecture.
The reason is simple: Kyloen was designed by Neha Kapoor, a mother with a background in child psychology, not by growth hackers optimising engagement metrics. Her design principle was clear from day one: the best AI companion is one that makes itself unnecessary as quickly as possible.
Built-in session limits
Kylo tells your child to stop. So you don't have to.
Ages 5–7
Max 20 min per session
Kylo says: 'Time to go play outside! Tell me what you did when you come back.'
Ages 8–11
Max 30 min per session
Kylo says: 'Great session! Let's pause here. Try that maths trick on paper and show me tomorrow.'
Ages 12–14
Max 45 min per session
Kylo says: 'We've been going a while. Your brain needs a break — the best ideas come when you step away.'
Ages 15–18
Max 60 min per session
Kylo says: 'Solid conversation. Take some time to think about what we discussed. I'll be here when you're ready.'
Parents can customise limits through the Parent Dashboard. These are the defaults based on paediatric screen time guidelines.
Kylo is the only AI that tells your child to stop using it. Session limits, quiet hours, break prompts — every design decision is built to get children OFF the screen and into the real world.
Anti-addiction design
Six ways Kyloen is engineered to be non-addictive
No infinite scroll
Kyloen has no feed, no timeline, no 'next video' autoplay. Every session has a clear start and a clear end. When the conversation is done, the screen closes. There is nothing to mindlessly scroll through.
No dopamine loops
No streak pressure, no loss aversion, no 'your friend just beat you' notifications. XP and mascot evolution reward learning — but missing a day has zero penalty. There is no punishment for not using Kyloen.
No notification spam
Kyloen sends one gentle morning nudge and nothing else. No 'you haven't opened the app in 3 hours!' guilt. No badge counts. No red dots. If your child doesn't want to talk to Kylo today, that is completely fine.
Quiet hours: 10pm–7am
Kyloen is intentionally unavailable between 10pm and 7am. We do not want a 9-year-old talking to an AI at midnight. Sleep is more important than any conversation. Parents can also set custom quiet hours through the dashboard.
Eye-safe colour science
Warm orange palettes for ages 5–7 reduce blue light exposure. Cool blues for 8–11 maintain alertness without strain. Deep navy dark mode for 15–18 eliminates glare. All font sizes are age-adapted — larger text for younger eyes, comfortable reading sizes for teens.
Session summary, not cliffhangers
When a session ends, Kylo gives a warm summary of what was discussed and a gentle prompt for offline activity. There is no 'find out what happens next' hook. No emotional cliffhanger. The child is left feeling complete, not anxious to return.

Children aged 8–12 who feel addicted to their devices (Common Sense Media)
The World Health Organization recommends zero screen time for children under 2, and a maximum of 1 hour per day for children aged 2-4. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends consistent screen time limits for children aged 6 and above, with an emphasis on ensuring screen time does not replace sleep, physical activity, or face-to-face interaction.
In India, the reality is starkly different. The average Indian child between 8 and 15 spends 3-5 hours per day on screens — primarily on YouTube, mobile games, and increasingly on social media platforms. A 2024 NIMHANS study found that excessive screen time in Indian children correlates with increased anxiety, reduced attention span, sleep disruption, and a measurable decline in physical activity levels.
The solution is not eliminating screens — that ship has sailed. The solution is replacing passive, addictive screen time with purposeful, limited, developmentally beneficial screen time. That is exactly what Kyloen was built to be.
Competitions and rewards
Screen time that earns, not drains
Regular competitions and quizzes where every child is rewarded. Learning through healthy competition, not mindless scrolling.
Weekly Quiz Challenges
Every week, Kylo hosts subject-specific quizzes — maths, science, general knowledge, and creative thinking. Children compete in their age group, and every participant earns XP regardless of ranking. It is about participation, not pressure.
Monthly Creative Competitions
Story writing, art prompts, debate challenges, and science experiments. Children submit through Kyloen, and the best entries are celebrated with special mascot badges and certificates that parents can download and print.
XP & Mascot Evolution
Every quiz, competition, and meaningful conversation earns XP. As XP accumulates, the Kylo mascot evolves through four stages — Seed, Sprout, Explorer, Visionary. Children see their companion grow as they grow. It is the only progression system that rewards learning, not screen time.
Certificates & Rewards
Printable certificates for competition achievements, milestone badges for streak learners, and personalised reports that children can show their parents and teachers. Real recognition for real effort — not a loot box.
