22% Off | Skylight Calendar: 15-inch Wall Planner Digital Calendar

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 competitorsOther 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.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share how amazing g this calendar is. I live it so much.I got this calendar because my husband and I both have really busy schedules. The calendar has a monthly view and a weekly view. It’s so easy to see when my husband is on call or when I’m going out of town. The best feature is the recipe / meals features. I can add the meals for the following week to the calendar and then I can click on the meal and it shows me the recipe. It’s so great!I def recommend this product.

My wife pushed me to purchase this Skylight Calendar as we head into the new school year. Our kids are finally at an age that they want to know all the things. What do we have going on during the day, what are we eating, and what chores should they be doing. Well a few weeks in, I can say this is a game changer with a few caveats.Integrating calendars could not be easier. We are an Apple household and it was very easy to make our calendars public to get a shareable link and add those into the Skylight companion app. Within minutes we had the calendar reflecting all our shared, personal, and sports calendars. I think we may have 5 – 6 syncing without issue. Skylight also offers a holiday calendar that we enabled.Profiles allow you to easily create task lists for your kids. Both of our kids have repeating daily tasks, think empty the dishwasher or shower, that were easy to create. They also have weekly chores, like pulling weeds, that we setup. While viewing the calendar, you can enable a view to show how many tasks they have for the day and how many they have completed. As they complete these, they can easily mark them off.As they complete tasks, if you pay for the subscription, you can assign star values so they can claim rewards. We have setup a few rewards for them, but still playing with the value of rewards to number of tasks they are doing.We are also using this as a digital picture frame, which you must also pay for through the subscription. They say the photo storage is unlimited. I think your cloud storage is unlimited, but the device has to have a cap. Currently have maybe 300 photos synced to. After 5 minutes of no one using it, it begins to go through them. One complaint I have, is even though I’ve synced 300 photos, I tend to see the same ones a lot. I don’t have any proof, but think the device may refresh the photos it has in its storage, but not hold them all which is why.From a form factor standpoint, this is a well built device. It feels very solid and has a pretty crisp screen. It includes a stand or wall mounting parts. I have no fear of my kids damaging this device, hopefully.Overall I think this is a great device for keeping a family who has kids without their own phones/devices on track with what’s going on, on task with chores, and display family photos. However, a few complaints:1. A subscription to unlock rewards, meal planning, using it as a digital picture frame is kinda crazy for the cost of the device.2. While there is a sleep mode to turn the display off at night. It’s on all the time. Feel like they should have included a sensor to detect motion to save energy.3. While ours has been on and connected for a few weeks, I know there is an update out there that includes weather that we have not gotten yet and there is no way to force a software update. So kind of at the mercy of when updates come out.Overall a great little device, with some quirks.

My wife absolutely adored this calender as a gift. I didnt know how practical it was but she uses it daily. It seemed to make things easier when your household schedule is all in one central place. It works great and the user interface is crisp and clean and easy to use for everyone in the house. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a busy family life.

With my husband’s busy work schedule and two boys heavily involved in extracurricular activities, we needed help keeping everything organized — and the Skylight Calendar has been a lifesaver!I absolutely love the Magic Import feature. I can snap a photo of a baseball schedule with my phone, send it to Magic Import, and it automatically adds all the dates to our calendar. My husband’s Google work schedule also syncs automatically each time a new entry is added, which is so convenient.I also love the Tasks and Lists features, and the color-coding for each family member makes everything so simple and easy to follow. I can’t recommend it enough!
