Skylight Calendar (Touchscreen)

See price on Amazon

A touchscreen family calendar that ends the 'who's where' chaos — chores, schedules, and photos on one always-on screen by the door.

Why we picked it

  • Big touchscreen wall calendar
  • Syncs every family calendar
  • Chores, lists & photos in one place

Our verdict

Buy it if you want a dead-simple shared family calendar that lives on the wall and gets glanced at without anyone unlocking a phone. It's the right pick when your household already runs on Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars and you just need one always-on screen everyone actually sees.

What we like

  • Syncs your existing calendars (Google, Apple, Outlook and similar) into one combined view, so you're not re-entering events in yet another place
  • Always-on wall display means kids and partners can see the day's plan without opening an app, which is the entire reason to own one
  • Beyond the calendar it handles chore lists, to-dos, and a photo screensaver, so it doubles as a low-key digital photo frame when idle
  • Add or edit events from your phone through the companion app and they show up on the wall screen

Worth knowing

  • Some of the more advanced features (extra chore and reward tools, meal planning, more photo storage) sit behind an optional yearly subscription, so the hardware on its own is the basic tier
  • It's a single-purpose appliance: no general web browsing, video, or built-in voice assistant the way a smart display has, so you're spending real money on essentially one job
  • There's no battery and it's built to stay plugged in, so wall mounting usually means an outlet nearby and a cable run you'll want to hide

Who it's for: Busy households juggling kids' activities, work shifts, and chores who want one shared screen on the wall that everyone checks at a glance.

Who should skip it: Solo users, couples with simple schedules, or anyone who wants a do-everything smart display, who'll be better served (and usually spend less) with a phone calendar or an Echo Show or Nest Hub.

Frequently asked

Is it worth it over just using a phone calendar?

The value is the shared, always-on view, so nobody has to ask 'who's where' or dig through an app to find out. If your family is small or your schedule is light, a shared phone calendar does the same job at no extra cost, which makes the wall screen a convenience buy rather than a necessity. It earns its keep most in households with a lot of moving parts.

Does it require a subscription to work?

No. The core calendar, lists, and photo features work once it's set up on Wi-Fi. Skylight does sell an optional yearly plan that adds extras like advanced chore and reward systems and meal planning, but you can run the basics without ever subscribing.

How is it different from an Echo Show or Nest Hub?

Those are general smart displays that browse, play video, and run a voice assistant, with a calendar as one feature among many. This is a dedicated calendar appliance built around family scheduling, with a cleaner, distraction-free screen and no apps to wander into. Pick the smart display if you want an all-rounder; pick this if you specifically want a calendar nobody gets pulled away from.
