Daylife was an online publishing company that offered cloud-based tools for web publishers, marketers, and developers. It provided digital media management tools and content feeds to publishers, brand marketers and developers. Daylife was founded in 2006, raised $15 million from several investors, including Getty Images,[1] and was acquired in 2012 by NewsCred.[2][3] The company was headquartered in downtown New York City.

Daylife's products included the Daylife Publisher Suite, a range of APIs, and a set of "hosted solutions" including Smart Topics, Smart Galleries, and Smart Sections.[4] The hosted solutions were all launched in partnership with Getty Images, which offers publishers a wide range of multimedia tools. Daylife's technology analyzed over 100,000 curated content feeds, which enabled publishers to curate and automate media for use in proprietary content.[5]

The company shut down in 2016.[6]
