Re-Time Pty Ltd launches Kickstarter campaign for Retimer 3 light therapy wearable to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and improve productivity by adjusting one’s circadian rhythm
Re-Time Pty Ltd has launched its Kickstarter campaign for the Retimer 3 light therapy wearable to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and improve productivity. The device uses blue-green light similar to the peak colors in a bright blue sky to activate cells in the retina of the eye responsible for helping control one’s body and sleep cycles for better health.
The human body, as well as many animals, has a natural body rhythm called the circadian cycle. Changes to wakefulness, performance, digestion, and more occur around the same time during each cycle. Disruptions to this cycle, such as from alcohol, jet lag, or raising children, can lead to poor health due to poor sleep, depression, and more. Blue light exposure has been broadly studied due to the increased use of electronics that emit a lot of blue light from displays, as well as the growing awareness that blue light exposure affects health.
Daily, timed use of the Retimer 3 for 30 to 45 minutes triggers a reset response in the body. The device uses blue-green light similar to the peak colors in a bright blue sky to activate retina cells in the eye to control circadian and sleep cycles. The exact ways light affects body and sleep cycles are not yet known, so not every user will benefit.
The smartphone apps help users track their progress and are integrated with Android Health Connect and Apple Health. This allows users to track their health in one place when using a range of health trackers and information from various sources.
The Retimer 3 weighs 1.27 ounces (36 g) and measures 6.8 x 6.5 x 0.97 inches (174 x 166 x 25 mm). Four 500-504 nm blue-green LEDs emit light at 506 lux/m2 or 204 uW/cm2. The wearable is powered up to 5.6 hours from a 3.7 V 160 mAh rechargeable lithium battery. The device comes with three nose piece sizes, a USB charging cable, a soft pouch, and a travel case.
Kickstarter pre-launch pricing varies from $109 to $199 for a single unit, and the availability of these offers can change at any time. Naturally, some have found that going out for a morning walk every day while enjoying the natural sunlight is the best way to stay regular and healthy. Readers trying this can wear nice walking shoes (like these on Amazon). For the rainy or snowy days, readers can try a sunlight lamp (like this one on Amazon) every morning while stuck indoors.

Following its debut at the World Sleep Congress 2023, retimer 3 received very positive feedback from the attending sleep experts. It was subsequently showcased at prominent events, including Arab Health, Dubai 2024 and the Health Optimization Summit, London 2024.
This highly desired sleep wearable is closer to becoming available to customers worldwide. retimer 3 is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter, with early backers able to enjoy a special introductory price of USD 109 — offering savings of up to 45% off the retail price of USD 200. The initial shipment of Kickstarter orders is scheduled for early October, with the product expected to be commercially available by Christmas this year.
A smart sleep solution backed by research
The retimer 3 is the culmination of more than 25 years of research conducted at Flinders University in South Australia, under the guidance of Dr Leon Lack, focusing on the effects of light on the human sleep cycle. The first light therapy product from Re-Time Pty Ltd was launched in 2012. It quickly became a leading solution for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and is widely utilised by research institutions worldwide. Recognising the growing demand for effective sleep solutions, the company embarked on a two-year redesign journey to create a wearable that is not only smart but also comfortable and stylish.
Wake up to better sleep with retimer 3
retimer 3, paired with its mobile app, gives consumers a simple method to manage, monitor and align their circadian rhythm (body clock) with their lifestyle needs – addressing challenges such as jet lag, irregular working hours, inability to sleep or awaken on time, and poor sleep in general. The blue-green light used in retimer 3 has been found to be safest and most effective in adjusting our 'body clock', or circadian rhythm. Designed for precise under-eye delivery for the unobstructed and best possible coverage, retimer 3 maximises the effects of light therapy for optimum results.
A personalised sleep optimisation toolkit
The product and mobile app empower users to control their sleep-wake cycles and develop a healthy, consistent sleep routine. The app helps users schedule usage, graphically report on adherence and track the outcomes towards the set sleep goal. The app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, seamlessly integrating with popular health and fitness apps through Apple Health and Android Health.
Re-Time's COO, Nitin Goyal, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We firmly believe retimer 3 represents a paradigm shift in the landscape of sleep technology. We are deeply committed to assisting individuals worldwide in achieving superior sleep quality and, by extension, an improved quality of life."
