WIRED Reviews Digital Wall Calendars: Skylight, Everblog, Greenlight, Apolosign
In the October 2026 edition of WIRED, Nena Farrell reviewed various digital wall calendars from Skylight, Everblog, Greenlight, and Apolosign. Initially doubtful, she ultimately found these devices to be beneficial. They connect seamlessly with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Microsoft accounts, allowing users to display their schedules on either walls or tabletops. The top recommendation is the Skylight Calendar 2, noted for its excellent software and Google Calendar integration, which requires a Plus subscription priced at $79 annually or $8 monthly for features such as meal planning. The Everblog HomeCal offers a similar user experience but has a slower synchronization process. The Greenlight Family Hub combines finance and location tracking, providing complimentary photo storage and optional voice support for $10 monthly or $100 yearly. The Apolosign operates on Android OS, has no paywall, but is less user-friendly. Other models mentioned include Cozyla Calendar Plus 2 and Hearth Display.
