Skylight Calendar puts the family schedule on a touchscreen that lives on a counter or wall, which suits households where young kids do not have phones. The display syncs unlimited online calendars or takes events entered on the screen, and the free Skylight app lets parents add events, chores and list items while away from home. Recurring chores and routines appear on a chart, and shared grocery and to-do lists come with the base product. Calendar Plus, at $79 a year after a free first month, adds Magic Import, which turns emails, PDFs and paper schedules into events, plus meal planning, star rewards for finished chores and photo screensavers. Hardware starts at $149.99 for the 10 inch model, the 15 inch Calendar 2 starts at $289.99 and the 27 inch Calendar Max at $569.99. That cost is why its value score is lower than app-only picks. If the goal is a calendar the whole household sees at breakfast, it is the most complete display option here.
