I might be a minority here, but I don't really consider the Android OS a feature I want. As a Remarkable 2 owner, I've come to really appreciate the long battery life and purpose built OS. There are no "app" distractions, and it has become an essential part of my daily work flow for note taking and e-book reading.

I wish Daylight success, but at their price, its not a compelling offer for me.

Yeah I was surprised to see it ran Android after watching the trailer showing a lady doom-scrolling on her iPhone before accepting the warming comfort of using the Daylight. Another trailer showed happy contemporary hippies in the forest, or their modern workspace with more plants than walking space.

I figured it was a breath of fresh air from modern devices because it was simpler in its capabilities. But if it's running Android it seems like you'd just be doomscrolling in black and white.

Seems like something that could be solved pretty easily by having self-control and not installing those apps on the device.

Besides, I would have no interest in doom-scrolling black and white anyway. My app timers on my phone, when they switch to greyscale, I immediately lose interest on whatever it was.
