Memoria — a Skylight Calendar alternative
A Skylight Calendar alternative without the $280–$630 display: Memoria puts the shared family calendar on the phones you own, plus vehicles, appliances and a vault.
Looking for a Skylight Calendar alternative that doesn't start with buying hardware? Skylight is a wall-mounted touchscreen (around $280 for the 15-inch, up to about $630 for the 27-inch Max) with an optional Plus Plan (~$79/year). It's a gorgeous kitchen command center. Memoria delivers the same shared-schedule visibility on the phones your household already owns — no device, no wall mount — and adds vehicles, appliances, insurance renewals and an encrypted document vault, with WhatsApp, email and photo capture instead of typing. It's encrypted at rest, family-shared and available in 12 languages.

Switching from Skylight Calendar to Memoria.
There is no two-way sync — but there is no lock-in either. One-time, one-way, no data left behind.
- Forward your last month. Send your most recent Skylight Calendarentries — school circulars, fee notes, warranty cards, insurance emails — to your Memoria number or email alias. Captures parse and back-fill in a day.
- Pin the Memoria reminder feed. Once your items are in, the calendar and reminder feed become the daily surface. Keep Skylight Calendar open in parallel for the first 30 days to verify nothing slipped.
- Cancel when you are sure. After a month of parallel use, most households unsubscribe from Skylight Calendar. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.
FAQ
Is there a Skylight alternative that doesn't need a device?
Yes — Memoria is app-only. The shared calendar, reminders and vault live on the iOS and Android phones your household already uses, with a web app for desktops, so there’s no touchscreen to buy or mount.
Will my data import automatically?
Forward your last month of items to your Memoria number or email — captures parse and back-fill in a day. There is no two-way sync; the migration is one-time and the source apps stay where they are.
Is my data private?
