This digital calendar helps me out quite a bit! It syncs with my phone (Google calendar) so is a visible reminder of upcoming plans/appointments/birthdays, etc. When it's not doing that it displays pictures that I have downloaded to it. My wife passed about a month ago and while it can never replace her, it's the next best thing.

I'm actually impressed. Setup took maybe 10 minutes—download the app, sync your Google/Apple/Outlook calendars, done. The 15" screen is big enough that my whole family can see it from across the kitchen.
Best part? No more "what time is soccer?" questions every five minutes. Everyone's schedules are color-coded right there on the wall. I can add events from my phone while I'm out, and it syncs instantly. The chore chart feature actually gets my kids to do their tasks because they love checking stuff off on the touchscreen. Plus you can email PDFs directly to it—I sent my daughter's gymnastics schedule and it populated everything automatically. That's wild.
You can link multiple calendars together if you want one upstairs and one in the kitchen, which is pretty slick for bigger houses. They mirror each other so changes show up everywhere.
Now the downsides. You'll need the Plus subscription ($40-79/year) for the good stuff like meal planning and photo screensaver. And it's gotta stay plugged in all the time—no battery backup, which is annoying if the power goes out. The cord's long though. Also kinda heavy for wall mounting, so make sure you hit a stud.
Important note: if you're mainly wanting to share photos with grandparents across the country, you actually want their Frame product instead. The Calendar can show photos as a screensaver, but it's built for scheduling. The Frame is what lets you send pics to family in other states and do the whole digital card thing.
Is it a want, not a need? Absolutely. But if you've got a busy household and you're tired of being the human calendar, this thing genuinely helps. Just wait for a sale.

Lifesaver!

I am an employee of Best Buy and as a busy family of 4, the Skylight calendar has been a lifesaver! The setup was quick and the instructions were easy to follow. Our family officially ditched the written calendar on the fridge and was up and running within 15 minutes! The Magic Import feature allowed me to submit a photo of my handwritten calendar to the Skylight team who converted everything and automatically updated the Skylight calendar.
The calendar is easy to navigate and quickly syncs with many other calendar apps. The color categorization makes schedules easy to follow and my husband now has our schedule with him at all times! Thank you Skylight for simplifying our schedules and making this busy mom’s life a lot easier!

I really like the Skylight Calendar! It’s easy to use, keeps our family organized, and I love how simple it is to update and view schedules. It has definitely made staying on top of everything so much easier.

I love this device! I have 5 adults in one home and we need to coordinate many different schedules. The shared calendar is awesome. But now everyone uses the meal planning schedule as well. We used to use Cozi to share shopping lists but this has replaced that. And I love the chores feature to remind everyone whose turn it is to clean the kitchen! It’s a little pricey but I think it may be worth it. The photo scrolling screensaver is a nice bonus too.

I absolutely love this skylight digital calendar. I’ve been using a whiteboard for a couple of years and when I saw this product and how it worked, I fell in love it is so efficient so helpful in mind you, I’m 77 years old. I have a lot of appointments And it was tough to stay on top of them. It’s such a pleasure to wake up every day and look at my schedule for the month.

We own an auto repair business with 3 locations. I wanted something that I could see the appointments that each location has without having to spend a fortune on a subscription. This option works great!!! Our office people can schedule whether they are in or out of the office with the app. (Phones are forwarded to them if they are out) Or directly on their computer if they are in the office. The mechanics can add appointments to the calendar directly on the calendar if someone walks in while the office person is out. This fits everything we were looking for!!

A good basic calendar with excellent support staff

We really wanted a central calendar even thought it is only my husband and I who need it. We looked at others and at an amazon Echo, but felt that had way too much on it, the TV, Alexa, smart house functions, which we don't use. So we got the Skylight which is basically a calendar for us although there ischore planning for kids. The other main functions are a photo display, meal planning and recipes. But to do those activities, you need to pay extra per month.
I find the calendar very easy to use and doing pretty much what we want it to do. My husband also has no trouble using it. It is placed in a central position in the kitchen so it is easy to see. I have attended one of their workships and emailed with the support staff. They are excellent, very responsive and helpful. Right now I am reviewing a trial of the plus system to see if I think it is worth it.
In a number of ways, I wish I had taken the Echo instead. I assumed that there was internet access, but there doesn't seem to be one. I could access my recipe's without paying the extra fee. Next, once you put in an event, you can't change some of the parameters such as the connection to other calendars. You first have to delete them and then redo them. There may be other issues that I haven't found.

Very user friendly! I love that it sinks up with your calendar from your phone! The grocery list is so convenient to use from the app on your phone and the chores list as well!

We love our Skylight! It helps keep our family on schedule, organized, and on time! No more questions about what each of us has planned; we can upload our events all to once place right from the phone icalendar.

Bought this for my 87 year old elderly father, who is in first stages of senility (being forgetful). Each morning, it orients him to the day of the week and date, and if he has any appointments. I can update his appointments from my home computer (or phone). My only con is that I wish there was a cheaper version, with less functions, as the elderly do not need all of the family functions, such as chores list, etc.

I can’t believe how much easier the Skylight Calendar has made our lives. It was incredibly simple to set up. I had it out of the box connected to WiFi and syncing with all of our family calendars in under five minutes. The touchscreen is bright, clear, and easy for everyone to use, even my kids.
No more missed appointments, no more “I didn’t know!” excuses. everything is laid out in a clean and beautiful display we can all see at a glance. It looks stylish sitting on the counter too, way better than the clutter of paper calendars we used to have.
If you’re looking for a simple, effective, and actually good looking way to keep your family organized, the Skylight Calendar is absolutely worth it. Wish we had bought one sooner!

Super simple to set up and helps to keep our family and caregivers on the same page for who needs to be where and when. While I did not expect the chore chart to be a feature that we used, it has easily become one of the highlights with our daughters (5 and 10) very motivated by checking off their tasks. I am also a big fan of the fact that it has minimal use outside of the intended features so that it does not become a different streaming source for entertainment. I am sure that we could accomplish similar tasks with a flashier interface or something that could do more, but the simplicity is really the biggest draw for us.

Calendar is amazing. It helped my husband member his doctors appointments and my doctors appointment. I would’ve met a the price I met with sky light itself

It takes a while to set it all up but totally worth it. Once it’s all set up it makes things so much easier. You can migrate everyone’s calendar, import recipes from the web or take pictures. It’s worth paying for the subscription! I’ve now got hundreds of recipes in there and can use the AI to plan the week for me and add all the ingredients to a shopping list. The chore chart is extremely helpful. I was having to list things out every day and things were always forgotten. Now I just have to add it and it even has an option to repeat, which makes those weekly and monthly chores, that can get forgotten about, easier to stay on track of so they don’t get too overwhelming.

This keeps me up to date with School functions, which is actually a lot like which days have free dress, days that are half so I have to pick up my kid and meals for everyday. It basically expands my iphone's calendar up there for everyone to view and make sure everyone in the family is in line. It's easy to use and works great. We attached it to our frigerator and it's really an awesome device.
