Skylight Calendar review
A broad family scheduling hub, with useful extras balanced by notable hardware and subscription costs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Skylight Calendar is a family organization system built around shared schedules, chores, routines, meals, lists, and profiles. Families can manage calendars through the web, iOS, and Android apps, or use the Skylight Calendar 2 15-inch touchscreen calendar. Its software synchronizes calendars from Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo, Cozi, and public calendar links, while color-coded profiles help households distinguish individual schedules. It is best suited to families that want one shared place for time-sensitive plans and everyday coordination.
The published plans show a Basic tier with calendar management, tasks and chores, custom lists, mobile access, and calendar synchronization. Calendar Plus costs $79 per year and adds meal planning, rewards, a photo and video screensaver, Magic Import, and Disney Mode. Sidekick can import events from emails, PDFs, photos, and flyers, while the system also supports recipes and family-visible meal schedules. The product connects with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, Cozi, Readdle Calendars, and AnyList, giving it a practical fit for households already spread across several calendar and list services.
The main tradeoff is cost across the experience. The Calendar 2 device is listed at $299.99 as a one-time purchase, and Calendar Plus adds an annual charge for several of the more distinctive features. Families focused on basic shared scheduling, chores, reminders, and lists may find the Basic software sufficient. Those wanting a visible household display, meal planning, rewards, AI-assisted imports, and device management have a fuller feature set to consider, but should be comfortable with the added hardware and subscription expense. Households seeking only a simple calendar may prefer a narrower tool.
