Skylight may have started as a digital photo frame, but today, the company is more focused on helping families stay organized with shared calendars, lists, meal planning tools and more.
At CES 2026, the company unveiled its latest product: the Skylight Calendar 2, which offers a sleeker design than the original 15-inch calendar, but is smaller than the 27-inch wall-mounted Calendar Max. Like its larger counterpart, the new digital calendar app and family organizer also lets you change the frame with different colors to better match your home decor.
The biggest selling point isn’t the digital display itself, but the underlying software and AI capabilities. The main feature – the calendar – is actually a combination of all your family’s calendars from whatever services you use, whether it’s Google Calendar, iCal, Microsoft or even your kids’ sports apps like TeamSnap.
The calendar is color-coded to see everyone’s schedules at a glance, and can even insert “calendars” that are really just emails with a few key dates, or flyers sent home in Junior’s backpack. (The latter is an AI feature where you take a photo of the paper and the calendar updates with the new events.)
The company is also trying to address other pain points for families, such as managing grocery lists, appointment reminders, meal planning and recipe discovery. Of course, it can also display your family photos when not otherwise in use.
The app is well designed to be easy to read with simple navigation, pop-up colors and images that make it easy for young children to use. For example, they can check their work by looking for a picture, even if they can’t read yet.
Parents also like the ability to plan meals, whether they simply note that Tuesday will be taco night or go so far as to find a recipe and prepare a shopping list. Skylight comes in handy here too, as it can automatically generate your grocery list of ingredients for you or even add it to the Instacart app.
Another clever AI feature lets you take a photo of what’s in your fridge and get a recipe recommendation based on what you have on hand.
The need for such a system is clearly resonating with customers. Skylight, a profitable company since day one, now has more than 1.3 million families using its digital calendars so far, and likely more to come with the new plan.
