ILY - The family phone. Everyone in your family, all in one place.

Hi everyone, As a dad, I found it incredibly challenging to keep my 3 young kids connected to their grandparents and cousins, and to me when I was traveling. Facetime and Skype are great. But young kids often can't use phones or tablets unsupervised, so they're dependent on our devices and schedules. We created ILY to be the first real communication device for families. It sits in your home, always on, always charged, and safe for kids. ILY is hardware and software that is extremely easy for young children and older generations to use. And it’s completely platform agnostic, so you can make calls or send messages between an ILY and desktop, iOS and Android devices using the ILY app. Thanks for hunting us @eriktorenberg! Any questions / feedback, find me here!

So wish we had this a few years back when kids were around and grandparents still alive. Looks excellent!

Congratulations on the launch, @ilan! Ily looks beautiful and, unlike every other startup that claims to do so, will actually make the world a better place by helping families communicate. Wishing you guys lots of luck!

I love the idea. It's such a painpoint for parents to have to lend their personal or pro smartphone to their kids to communicate with the larger family - it's the kind of constraint and absence of solution that directly contradicts the age of mobility. Paradoxically this fixed piece of hardware could bring a lot of flexibility to communications within the family. Question : do you provide more than just communications/phone? Could one use this as a family console for entertainment or other types of interaction? ;)

Looks promising! Love the idea that it replaces the regular landline phone: it would be the main reason for me to get one for my parents/siblings at home.

Looks amazing!

Great example of simplifying technology that already exists to provide a very elegant solution for a very specific use-case. If smart phones are the Swiss army knives then this is the dedicated Phillips head screwdriver. Nice one.

Looks amazing- totally getting a pair.

Must. Have. This. Now! And not only becase @ilan is involved.

Awesome! Can't wait to try it.
