Absolutely life changing!
Hey friends! If you are on the fence, just buy it, you will NOT be disappointed!
When I was choosing a digital calendar, I was cross-shopping the Skylight Calendar and the Hearth. While Skylight is nice, the Hearth just fit my family’s needs so much better. I knew I didn't want a tacky dry erase board or a basic chore chart stuck to my wall, and Hearth delivered the sleek, elevated look and functionality I wanted.
I honestly cannot brag enough on the Hearth team! I have ADHD, and this board is literally MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT. If you know, you know! There are so many features I am obsessed with:
Hearth Helper: An absolute lifesaver for effortlessly loading party invites, school lunch menus, school events, and family schedule items.
The New Countdown Feature: Yay!! I’m so excited about this addition!
Meal Planning & Recipe Storage: Keeps our weekly dinner plans organized and in one spot. (I don’t use it as much as I want to, but I’m working on it!)
Chore Tracking & Rewards: Keeps the kiddo motivated and accountable. (I have a strong willed child, so the rewards part is her favorite!)
Family Rhythm Summary: It basically grades our household dynamics, and I am here for it! ❤️
I also love the transparent feature update notifications! I know rolling out new tech takes time, testing, and patience, but every update makes this product even better. They were named one of TIME’s Best Inventions for a reason! 👏🏽
One suggestion for the team...Advertise more and keep collaborating with family-friendly brands! More people need to know about this product.
Thank you, Hearth team! You’ve made our home run so much smoother and my brain less chaotic! 💕

It doesn’t even let me sign in!
Scam
It seems odd that you pay a lot for the calendar that then wants you to subscribe to use its features. Seems like the price point of the calendar should come down significantly if they want to charge you monthly/annually just to use it. We have used basic features on ours because I refuse to get into another scam.

Helpful family calendar
This app is overall helpful in keeping our family organized and we like our huge hearth calendar screen it pairs with. However it is not the greatest. App. It is a little clunky and not the easiest to use. I also wish it offered widgets to display the calendar or to do list on the iPhone or iPad.
Needs more functionality
The app works, but lacks a lot of the functionality you see in other calendar apps. For example, being able to set multiple alerts for the same event. The “Add Location” option is also missing a lot of locations. I can add a specific address by typing it out manually, but searching for a business directly by name is surprisingly lacking.
What would make this app most useful for me is the addition of a widget. I mostly use widgets on my phone for my most commonly used apps. I can see the calendar information in the Apple calendar app, but there is no easy way to open up an event directly to edit it in the Hearth app.

App leaves desires
Features like widgets, smart voice event creation, Alex skill enablement and google home compatibility are some features I would love to see incorporated in such a paid application. Hearth Companion App needs a search function for added events, tasks and appointments to be able to search through current and future months.

Needs a few more features
I absolutely love my Hearth Display! A few things I would love to see added as feature: the ability to fill the date with desired color, the ability to add birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries for friends/family, and a default setting for the view (ex. calendar, day, week, agenda). I still love my calendar, but I would love it even more with these added features.

Needs a Widget!
I do love our Hearth. Something that can improve the app—please provide a widget that gives you a weekly view. That would be SO helpful instead of having to open up the app every time. With a widget my week can just sit out, for me to see every time I open my phone.
I can’t delete a profile?
Deleting a profile should be so easy but the fact I need to contact support to delete a profile is burdensome.
Vast Unmet Potential!!
I am very underwhelmed by my Hearth Display. It lacks creativity and obvious features any tech product in 2025 should have.
1. It does not make sounds of any kind. No alarms. No reminders. It can’t set times and you can’t talk to it like other “ai helpers.” Very disappointing. The Hearth cannot be a central part of our lifestyle if we must continue using our other tech for these most basic functions.
2. There are almost no display customization options. No dark mode. No way to view widgets of its functions on a Home Screen. The display doesn’t even “know” that it shouldn’t show all the empty space from midnight to 8 am if it’s EMPTY. It shouldn’t make me scroll down to awake hours to see if anything is on the calendar.
3. No add on widgets which could be fun - like a vocab word of the day or an AI powered “daily briefing” which could be verbally given aloud in addition to visually. Even the weather forecast is the most basic unhelpful information ever. You can’t actually use it to check the weather as there is no hourly forecast, humidity, uv index, etc.
4. There is no “toddler mode”
5. No user identification to stop siblings from messing with each other. There is a camera. Let’s get faceID rolled out.
6. While we’re on the camera - let’s get video calling set up!
6. Part of the appeal of a wall display is that it is NOT a smartphone. Unfortunately you will still need to use your smartphone for everything that is actually useful, because those features are not available on the display.

A Game-Changer for Family Organization
Hearth has made coordinating our family’s moving pieces so much easier. I love the clean layout, color-coding, and quick reminders—everyone knows where they need to be and when. Adding events is simple, and the shared view keeps us aligned without a dozen texts. It’s genuinely reduced our stress and helped us protect time for what matters.

Overly expensive
We have owned the hearth for a year now, and truly have enjoyed it. Our subscription is up in September so we decided to cancel it since it’s 84$ a year. In this economy we just don’t have that. Because of canceling we cannot do any of the basic stuff. Like the to dos.
For the price of it and the lack of “perks” I can honestly say I regret buying this. Such a waste of money and scam.

Customizable Homescreen Widget Please!
Would love a widget option for a quick overview of the day without needing to open the app!
My kids love it!
My kids love this display and it helps motivate them to do tasks and gives them a helpful visual of their activities. Some of the interfaces are a little cumbersome still but confident those will be worked out in time.
Love it!
We love the Hearth especially being a busy family. The kids also love the upgrade for their chores and lists.
Life saver for busy families
We love our Hearth display. Everything is visible to the whole family and we can update directly from our phones. We use it to track schedule, chores, grocery lists and meal plans. Hearth helper automatically adds items to the calendar from images which is fantastic. We have 3 active kids and 2 working parents, so this has been an essential tool for us. I recommend it all the time to people. I also appreciate all the new features that they’re adding.

Expensive calendar display
I had such high hopes for this item. And like many others it’s the most expensive frame that’s just hung on our wall. It hasn’t been used in almost a year. Without the premium subscription the only thing it does is display a calendar. It’s supposed to make family function easier but only if you pay to create lists? All the premium features are just basic features you would think is part of the product.
And now with it only being mobile. It’s even more of an inconvenience. I have to control everything from a small screen.

Excellent Family Calendar!
Love the Hearth calendar, switched from Skylight about 6 months ago and have no regrets! My kids (14, 12, 10, 9–all boys) love being able to easily see what chores and routines need to be done, and check them off to earn privileges. Everything is super customizable to individual preferences. The only downside so far is that I can’t seem to add an event for more than one person (i.e. the entire family) on everyone’s calendar view from Google calendar, as it syncs individual calendar.

Helpful Tool
We have had the Hearth Display and the Companion app/subscription for a little over a year. Overall, I’d say that it’s a wonderful tool for helping to manage a busy family of four! In the past year they have consistently rolled out helpful updates and fixed bugs. We love the calendar, routines, and shared lists. The AI helper is great to help import paper invites and calendars quickly. I definitely recommend this to friends and look forward to using the product and app for years to come!

Great Family Planner
Managing 4 kids school and sports schedules is so much easier now! Everyone has their color and can look to see the week ahead. The favorite tab for everyone though is the meal planning tab. No more answering the “what are we having for dinner?” question! The reward system for chores and routines has really helped take the mental load off me as the working parent too.
