Skylight Calendar Plus family hub

Skylight Calendar Plus is a touchscreen display that keeps the whole household on the same page. It pulls events from your email, holds the week's meals and chores, and greets everyone with photos from far away.
What's inside Calendar Plus

Smart features that keep the week moving

Magic Import with Sidekick

Sidekick reads the invitations already sitting in your email and drops the details onto the family calendar, so you spend a minute checking rather than retyping each event by hand.

Photo and video screensaver

When the calendar is idle the screen fills with photos and clips that family members send from far away, keeping grandparents in the day without anyone remembering to forward anything.

Meal planning and rewards

Plan the week's dinners on the same screen that shows the schedule, then use the built-in rewards and chore chart so kids can see what they have finished and what earns them points.

Online sync keeps everyone current

Connect the calendars you already keep on your phone and the shared display stays up to date on its own, so a last-minute change reaches everyone who looks at the screen.

Less mental load, one clear family view

Calendar Plus takes the planning out of your head. Events arrive on their own, meals are set for the week, and everyone can see what is next without a single reminder from you.

Fewer reminders to send

Once events land on the calendar they show up on their own, so nobody has to be the household messenger.

Dinner decided early

Set the week's meals in one sitting and shop from a list that already knows what you are cooking.

A calmer shared view

Everyone glances at one screen and knows the plan, which turns what are we doing into a quick look.

Where it fits your home

Who gets the most from Calendar Plus

Busy school weeks

Between clubs, practices and playdates, one shared screen keeps every drop-off and pick-up in view for both parents.

Two-household families

When children split the week between homes, both parents can add plans to the same view so nobody misses a handover.

Grandparents far away

Relatives who live miles away can send photos that land on the same screen your household checks each day.

Shared meal planning

Anyone cooking that night can see the plan on the display, so dinner is decided before the fridge door ever opens.

Rewards for little jobs

The chore chart suits households working on responsibility, letting kids tick off jobs and earn visible rewards.

Households without apps

If nobody in the family wants another app, a countertop display needs no phone and stays readable from across the room.

Magic Import with Sidekick is designed to pull events out of emails and place them on the shared calendar automatically. You will still want a quick glance to confirm the details, but you should not have to retype them one by one.
