Technology help that feels like a sunny day
Sunny is a gentle AI desktop companion built for older adults. Speak naturally or type a question, and Sunny helps you with your computer, your medications, your meals, and your day — out loud, in plain language.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Works on screens as small as a phone.
Everything Sunny can do for you
Simple tools for daily life, designed one button at a time.
Gentle audio alerts
A soft two-tone chime and clear spoken reminders let you know when it is time for medication — without startling you.
Instant text resizing
One tap makes every word bigger — headings, messages, recipes, and cards. Scale up to 175% without losing your place.
Medication reminders
Set a pill name and a time. Sunny remembers and speaks up when the time comes, so nothing is missed.
Recipes & cooking mode
Ask for any dish. Sunny finds a recipe, reads the ingredients, and walks through each step out loud while you cook.
Computer help & health
"My internet is slow" or "Is my battery okay?" Sunny checks your Wi-Fi, battery, memory, and updates in plain English.
Safe by design
Sunny never runs terminal scripts or touches passwords. Every sensitive action asks for your permission first, and always defaults to "No".
Daily digest
Ask for your morning briefing and Sunny reads the weather and today's headlines in a calm, easy voice.
Built for every pair of eyes, ears, and hands
Accessibility is not an afterthought — it is the foundation.

Readable fonts and high contrast colours, with one-tap text resizing up to 175%.
Big touch targets
Every button is at least 48×48 pixels and clearly labelled for screen readers.
Speaks out loud
Full text-to-speech support, plus an easy mute switch for quiet rooms.
Reduced motion
Honours your system's "reduce motion" setting for calm, distraction-free use.

Questions people ask
Straight answers, in plain language.
Does Sunny cost anything?
No. Sunny is completely free and open source. There are no subscriptions, no ads, and no hidden fees.
Do I need an internet connection?
An internet connection helps Sunny fetch recipes, weather, and news. Basic computer help works without one.
Can Sunny be tricked into doing something dangerous?
No. Sunny is instructed to refuse requests for terminal commands, passwords, network scanning, or anything related to hacking. Any action that touches your system asks your permission first, and defaults to "No".
Which computers does Sunny run on?
Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you are not sure, start with the Windows download — it is the easiest.
