Screen-free homework, finally possible
You can support a child's homework without putting yet another screen in their hands. KAÏDO is a screen-free sphere that helps by voice and the light on its sides: the child keeps their notebook and pen, searches for themselves, and never gets a ready-made answer.
The homework-app paradox
You want to cut your child's screen time. And you get offered a homework app. One more tablet, notifications, the temptation to scroll, an object that captures attention instead of freeing it. To help with homework, most solutions add the very screen you were trying to remove.
KAÏDO turns the problem around: no display, no screen, nothing to look at. Just a sphere on the desk, next to the notebook, that listens and talks. The child looks up at their lesson, not at a screen.
One clarification, because the two are often confused: playing without a screen and learning without a screen are two different moments. An audio game console or a story speaker nicely fills free time. Homework time needs a frame: starting from the instructions in the exercise book, following the class curriculum, guiding without doing the work. That is the role KAÏDO plays: games for free time, KAÏDO for homework.
A sphere that guides by voice and light
KAÏDO fits in one hand: 94 mm across, a mic, a speaker and a light on each side. The child presses it, asks their question aloud, and KAÏDO replies in a calm voice. The light on its sides punctuates the exchange: it listens, it thinks, it celebrates.
- No screen: feedback is voice and light, never visual text.
- No open-ended chat: KAÏDO stays on homework and refuses off-topic requests.
- Never the answer: it breaks the difficulty down and asks the question that moves things forward.
- You adjust the level of hints from the app : more or less help, never the solution.
What having no screen actually changes
1
Attention stays on the notebook
No display drawing the eye, no notification interrupting. The child writes, re-reads, thinks. The sphere helps without ever becoming the centre of attention.
2
The act of writing is preserved
Pen, notebook, rough work: homework stays a hand-and-mind moment. KAÏDO does not replace writing, it helps to start and to get unstuck.
3
The evening stays offline
One more object that is not a screen means an evening that does not tip into tablet time. Homework done, you switch the sphere off and move on.
Zero screen. All the attention.
And you stay reassured, without monitoring
The parent app does not turn you into a supervisor. It gives you a weekly picture: what was worked on, what caused difficulty, which notions to review. Not a dashboard to scan every evening: just enough to step in at the right time.
KAÏDO is designed in France, made for ages 6-11 (French CP to CM2), with no open-ended chat, and GDPR-compliant data that is never sold or used for advertising.
Your questions about screen-free homework
How can I help with homework without a screen?
By keeping the notebook and pen at the centre, and bringing help through voice rather than a tablet. KAÏDO does exactly that: a sphere that listens to the child and guides them aloud, displaying nothing.
Does KAÏDO really have no screen at all?
None. It is a design decision: feedback comes through voice and the light on the sides of the sphere. There is nothing to look at, nothing to scroll, no notifications.
Does KAÏDO give the answer when the child is stuck?
No, never. It breaks the difficulty down and asks simpler questions until the child finds it alone. From the app, you set the level of hints : more or less help, never the solution.
What age is KAÏDO designed for?
For children aged 6 to 11, French CP to CM2, towards a calm move up to secondary school. It adapts its guidance to the age: short sentences and patience for the youngest.
Does the child need a smartphone or tablet?
No. The child only uses the sphere, by voice. Only the parent has an app, to prepare a session by photographing the exercise and to receive the weekly picture.
