Helg vs Skylight

A family command center without buying a screen.

Skylight is a smart display for the kitchen wall that shows a family’s calendar, chores and lists, with a companion app. Helg needs no hardware: it runs in the browser on any phone or computer, and its focus is deciding the household’s week once rather than displaying it. Choose a wall display if you want everyone to glance at the plan in one room; choose Helg if you want the plan made, and kept within the hours you have.

The plan, wherever you are

A wall display is great in the kitchen and invisible at work, on a shift, or in the car park at school pick-up. Helg is where you are: capture from your phone the moment you remember, and decide the week from wherever you sit down to do it.
