In a world where family schedules can feel like a full-time juggling act, the new Skylight Calendar Max brings both order and style into the home. Launched in Australia this July, the 27-inch wall-mounted smart calendar is the ultimate family command centre, purpose-built for big and busy households. Its expansive touchscreen provides a crystal-clear view of even the most complex schedules, helping to keep everyone – from the youngest to the oldest family member – connected and on track.

With its sleek, ultra-thin design and anti-glare screen, the Calendar Max is a stylish and practical addition to any home. It syncs seamlessly with Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars, allowing families to add events directly on the touchscreen or via the mobile app. From school drop-offs and sports training to grocery runs and family dinners, the expansive display makes it easy to keep across every detail – ensuring nothing gets missed.

The Calendar Max also brings the whole family into the planning process. With the Plus features, each member can create their own profile with personalised reminders, habit trackers, and even chore rewards – turning the invisible tasks of daily life into clear, manageable routines. Larger text and colour-coded entries make it easy for everyone to get involved at a glance. And with the AI-Sidekick, meal planning and building a grocery list become a breeze.

“Most family organisation tools live on one parent’s phone, which leaves kids out of the loop,” said Skylight CEO Michael Seagal. “Our Calendar Max changes that. It’s designed for the whole family to huddle around, plan the week together, and make daily life less stressful.”

Skylight has built a reputation for helping families stay connected, with almost six million households worldwide already using its products to organise life, share photos, and communicate. So far this year, more than 65 million chores have been completed using Skylight tools, showing just how much families rely on these solutions to manage the modern parenting juggle. The Calendar Max was born from this real-world feedback, answering calls for something bigger, bolder, and more collaborative, making it a tool the whole family can gather around to make planning feel less like a chore and more like a team effort.

Designed to support visual learners, the Calendar Max makes routines visible, responsibilities shared, and communication seamless. Its impressive screen size provides a clear overview of even the most packed schedules, and each household can choose from multiple view options (Day, Week, Month, or Schedule) allowing organisation to be done in the way that works best for them.

The 27-inch HD display can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientation and is easy to install with a full guide included, making it as flexible as it is functional.

With modular functionality planned for the future, the Calendar Max is built to evolve alongside growing families. And with Skylight’s 120-day money-back guarantee, families can try it with confidence.

The Skylight Calendar Max is now available for purchase at JB Hi-Fi and the Skylight website for an RRP of $1,199.
