Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A touchscreen wall or counter calendar (10, 15 or 27 inches) that shows every family member's events, chores, lists and meal plans, synced from phone calendars. Kids tap off chores and routines on the screen and, with the paid plan, earn stars toward rewards. Parents manage it from a free app. The Plus subscription adds meal planning, photo screensaver, rewards, Disney Mode and Sidekick, an AI tool that turns emails, paper schedules and PDFs into calendar events.
Our take: Good for busy families with younger kids who respond to a visible chore chart; skip it if a shared phone calendar already works.
| Ages it suits | whole family; chore charts suit kids about 4-12 |
|---|---|
| What its terms say about age | Buyers must be at least 18 (or the age of majority). The privacy policy says the services are not meant for anyone under 13 and children under 13 may not use them; kids use the shared screen under a parent's account. (terms) |
| Price | Paid. 15-inch Calendar $299.99 one-time, with one free month of Plus, then Plus is $79/year (USD, Oct 2026). Frame-only Plus is $39/year. Core calendar, tasks, lists and parental lock work without a subscription. |
| Works on | A device, iPhone and iPad, Android, Web |
| Account | A parent's account |
| Ads | None |
| In-app purchases | Yes |
| The AI in it | Sidekick (Plus plan) reads emails, photos of paper schedules and PDFs to create calendar events, and can suggest meals. |
