Skylight Calendar – 15" Touchscreen Digital Calendar & Chore Chart, White

I’m really a paper pencil person, and I have a year wall calendar which I love and still use, but it’s quite cluttered with all our family schedules. The problem is that when I’m out and about scheduling/cancelling appointments I only add it to my phone calendar and forget to add it to the paper calendar. It’s also not easy to find the appointments again later on my phone. This calendar syncs easily with many different calendar apps. It is very straight forward to set up, use, read, and it lets you know what’s going on that day, the next few days or month. Some say it’s a basic calendar that’s not worth the money but it’s perfect for my family. I don’t have to answer the dreaded question of what do we have to do today. Everyone’s schedules are color coded to match my original calendar app. The only complaint I have is that you can’t add to the calendar console directly because it won’t sync back to my phone calendar app. That still ok though because I don't want anyone else changing things without my knowledge anyway. I’m not positive it’s worth it for everyone but it’s definitely worth it for me. Update: 2026 It's been nearly three years since I purchased this product, and I still use it daily. It only just recently started to have problems with the screen, and I worried that I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, first because I purchased it through amazon, and secondly because it's nearly three years old. I was still hopeful, so I contacted customer support. They were quick to respond walked me though trying to fix the product on my own. I really appreciated their wonderful customer service, so I changed my review from 4 to 5 starts. I figured it was time for a new calendar anyway, and was thinking about switching to another brand, but the customer service alone is worth staying with this brand. Skylight is touted as the easiest to setup and use, and I also don't want to have a device with ads or extra busy screens. You can add or remove information currently showing on the screen, and I want my family to see only what is important. I didn't mention in my original review that I also easily sync to other calendars, like the kids' sports, school and everything else. Just so you're aware there's a little bit of a learning curve if you don't already know how to do these things, but I think most people nowadays do. Since I purchased my original skylight there have also been several improvements to the base model without the subscription. I don't subscribe to plus and I still highly recommend it.

I originally bought a different digital calendar and ended up returning it because I wasn’t happy with it. This one checked every box I was looking for. The combination of a digital photo frame and family calendar is perfect. Instead of another screen on the counter, it actually adds something to the room while keeping everyone’s schedule front and center. The interface is what impressed me most. I didn’t have to hunt through menus or guess what button to press. Everything is laid out in a way that just makes sense. The AI feature has been a huge time saver. I can type or talk naturally and have it add appointments, reminders, or tasks without tapping through a bunch of screens. The chores, stars, and rewards system has been a great motivator for my toddler. It’s simple enough that they understand it, and earning stars has made everyday routines much easier. I also like that each family member can choose their own character. It’s a small feature, but it makes the calendar feel personalized and easy to glance at. If you’re looking for a family calendar that’s easy to learn, quick to update, and doesn’t feel overcomplicated, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I bought this calendar during Prime Deals to help get my kids and husband organized with chores, routines, and our daily schedule. I purchased the black 15-inch version, and I can honestly say it’s exactly as described online. It’s super easy to use and very kid-friendly. You can add tasks, events, routines, recipes, meals, and even photos. If plans change, it’s easy to skip or edit tasks without any hassle. One of my favorite features is the rewards section, where you can give your kids stars ⭐️ for completing their chores and routines. It also has a sleep mode, which is a nice bonus, and you can even set time limits to help everyone stay on track and finish their daily chores. So far, I haven’t experienced any issues, and I definitely think it’s worth the money. It’s made organizing our household much easier, and I would absolutely recommend it to my family and friends.

The Skylight Calendar was recommended to help anyone with mild cognitive impairment/short term memory issues. We're using it initially too supplement paper wall calendars, daily diaries and piles of individual and confusing paper notes. We are hoping it will replace all of those analog prompts since it can do all of them in a much cleaner format with its integrated events, lists, and tasks all in one easy to see place. We have it hanging on a kitchen wall at eye level. Just have to convince the user that it is much more comprehensive and easier to read than the refrigerator calendar. In our case I've disabled the photo stream screen saver (great way to display all your favorite shots) until the key user is comfortable tapping the screen to view the calendar. Just a touch switches views from month to week to day to event details. We're only two, but this product is great for families as it also can list chores, even with rewards for doing them, recipes, etc. You can even email event info, recipes, tasks, etc. directly to the Skylight. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to love the Skylight Calendar, and after a frustrating setup process, it’s starting to grow on me. The biggest challenge was setup. If your family uses multiple calendar systems, especially Apple iCloud calendars, expect some trial and error. The app can be confusing, some of the terminology isn’t very clear, and syncing isn’t always instant. In my case, iCloud updates can take 10–15 minutes to appear on the Skylight. That said, once everything was configured correctly, it works ok. The biggest surprise was the Magic Import feature. I emailed my child’s school calendar PDF to Skylight, and it quickly imported the events accurately with very little effort. Pros: * Attractive display and quality hardware * Easy to read * Shared family calendar works well * Magic Import is surprisingly useful * Photo and video screensaver features are a nice bonus Cons: * Setup can be VERY frustrating * App and terminology can be confusing * Limited customization options * iCloud syncing is not always immediate Bottom Line: If you’re already using Google Calendar, setup will probably be easier. If you’re an Apple family like ours, expect a little patience during setup. Once it’s running, though, it’s a useful family organization tool that helps keep everyone on the same page.

I’m really loving this. Was looking for a way to replace our paper calendar on our fridge. Was fine for us before kids but now with their school schedule it just became too much to write out each month. Pros: - Love that we still have the large physical form to look at everyday. Easily syncs with our calendars. - Two way syncs with google calendar - Skylight customer service was able to walk me through a work around to get Qgenda to sync. - Meal Planner with sidekick is great as I can take a picture of a recipe cards, a screen shot, send a url etc to the Sidekick (Magic Family Assistant) and it will add to the recipe box. - When I meal plan as then it adds it to my grocery list and can assign it to a day-I love this so when I look at my calendar and the day can click on the recipe assigned and it brings it up for me to follow recipe. - Sidekick was also a game changer when I got my son’s school schedule and simply snapped a picture of it and emailed it to skylight and all the dates were automatically put in for the year. Cons: -Have had some trouble on occasion adding address in Skylight for event - requires subscriptions for some features like meal planning and sidekick, which I’m normally against but have found it to be worth it - not as customizable and can’t add other apps as some competitors Other considerations: I looked at other options. I looked at the newer Echos. We actually have an Echo 10 that we got with the intention for cooking. You have to have Alexa learn a skill and then use all recipes app for it to pull up your home recipes. And the calendar is small. No meal planner. It’s nice you can add to the grocery list from Alexa. Just wasn’t what I needed. We still have her in the corner to play music and set timers mostly. After I started using sidekick I looked around at other AI calendars in this space. Ohai seems very cool but not something we need at this point. I do sometimes use Alexa or Siri to add events and reminders to google calendar. I’ve also read you can email Alexa pdf calendars or pictures and she can create events for you. Idk if she can do that with recipes though. I know ChatGPT can create events for you, not from pictures but maybe pro users have that ability. I looked at several other calendars that require subscriptions like Jam, Cozi and Goldie but ultimately decided I wanted the physical form. And not all offered an equivalent to sidekick. I considered Cozyla as it offered more apps and no subscription but didn’t have a sidekick equivalent. Hearth seemed pretty similar, but at the time I don’t think had the meal planning feature. You may also consider dakboard as this seemed highly customizable but felt like several features I didn’t need. In Summary: Skylight won out for me for its simplicity, intuitive design, meal planner, sidekick and we all love seeing the pictures everyday. I think it was the one most geared towards our needs.

The Skylight Calendar has completely changed the way our household stays organized, and honestly, I wish we had bought it sooner. From the moment we set it up, it felt less like a gadget and more like a true family command center. The 15-inch display is bright, clean, and easy to read from across the room, and the touchscreen is very responsive and simple enough for everyone in the family to use — even people who aren’t tech-savvy. One of the biggest things I love is how seamlessly it syncs with multiple calendars. We connected Google Calendar within minutes, and now everyone’s schedules automatically appear in one place. No more constantly asking, “What time is your appointment?” or “Who’s picking up the kids?” Everything is visible at a glance, color-coded, and incredibly easy to manage. It has seriously reduced stress and confusion in our house. The layout is extremely well designed. It looks modern and sleek on the wall, almost like a digital picture frame, so it blends nicely into the home instead of looking bulky or cluttered. The screen quality is excellent, and the interface is smooth and intuitive. Adding events, chores, meal plans, and reminders is quick and straightforward. What surprised me most was how much more consistent our routines became after using this calendar. The chore chart and meal planning features are genuinely useful and not just “extra” features thrown in for marketing. It helps keep everyone accountable and involved, especially in busy households. The reminders and notifications are also incredibly helpful for keeping track of appointments, school events, birthdays, practices, and work schedules. Another huge plus is that setup was fast and painless. Within a short time, everything was synced and ready to go. The app integration works great, and updates happen in real time. I’ve had zero issues with lag, freezing, or connectivity problems. This product feels premium in every way — from the hardware quality to the software experience. It’s clear a lot of thought went into making family organization easier and less stressful. If you have a busy schedule, multiple family members, kids, work commitments, or just want a better way to stay on top of daily life, this is absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommend this to families, couples, students, or anyone trying to stay organized in a modern and efficient way. Five stars without hesitation.

So far, so good.. This is basically a locked down Magic Mirror with a nice interface and a changeable bezel. I believe it's running Android. You get Calendar, Lists, Tasks, and Profiles, without a subscription, everything else is locked down. Rewards, Meals, Recipes, Photos, Sidekick, and Themes are available if you pay the subscription at $79/yr. You can one way or two way sync your Google Calendars (multiple), (Apple, Outlook, and others I believe) You have to install the Skylight App on your phone to really make use of all the features. So far the grocery list is pretty cool. Its a bit expensive, but it's nice for kids or if you have a lot of events and people to coordinate.

Very good Bout extremely expensive

I was hesitant about spending so much on a calendar, but I have three kids who all have a very busy schedules and I couldn’t keep up with the life admin! We have been using the Skylight calendar for two weeks now, and it has changed our life for the better! My kids know exactly what they need to do for their AM and PM routines now, with no nagging from mum or dad! The AI magic assist is amazing - it will create calendar entries from screen shots, emails or photos - such a game changer! For once in my life, I actually feel organised and on top of things. I couldn’t be happier. Worth every cent!

This thing is honestly great, and support is awesome. Previously, we've been using one of those parent calendars with the cute drawings on each month. Have been for years. It has sufficed, but things would get missed. Their mom would have things planned and we'd forget to add it to the calendar for her so that we didn't accidentally plan something on her weekend. This has not only allowed me to share our calendar in a better way, their mom can add things as well, and see all the things that are going on in our children's lives. I recently paid for Pro, which is honestly a fantastic price. Just enough to be able to justify buying as a single parent, and it's awesome. My daughter went to town on her chores, and went above and beyond to earn extra stars to reach her goal for buying shiny rocks (Gorilla Tag - VR). I haven't been able to get these kids to actually do their chores properly ever. Now, they're all over making sure it's good so they earn those rewards. It's something they can see and work towards. Unlike just dumping some cash into a savings account for them that they'll not ever see, nor know if it is their money our mine that's getting used for a purchase. They redeem their stars, and get their selected reward. Honestly, this thing, even at the smaller size, is a game changer. Our calendars are all synced. My ex-wife can see anything I add to our "Family Calendar", but not anything from my own. The kids love sending pictures they have to it, and watching them show up and scroll across, and are actually hitting their chores for the first time ever. Buy this. You will not be disappointed unless you don't know how to work technology, and get mad that it didn't just start adding your stuff when you turned it on... lol

Cannot recommend this product enough. I originally was searching for a digital calendar because I never remembered to update our paper ones. I figured if I kept buying and not using paper calendars I might as well save that money and purchase this. I do not regret my decision! We have mounted it on the wall above the “drop zone” so everyone can see and use it as they get ready for the day. Favourite features: * the calendar - really easy to use, synchs with iPhone calendar so always up to date, colour coded for each person, variation in display options so easy to find a view that works for you. * task list - works great for kids and adults, helps create a feeling of working together to look after the home, great for my SEND child who needs reminders to do everyday tasks. * lists - we use the lists for groceries, to-do list and to meal plan. * we are not signed up to the monthly subscription and have had no issues without it. Definitely can see the appeal though. * update regularly with new features eg. Countdown function and “up for grabs” task list (tasks for anyone at any time, not assigned to an individual or a specific timing) The Skylight has been a life changer for our neurodiverse household. 5*
