Your family's schedule, always visible
Mount any tablet on the wall or kitchen counter. Sense Hub turns it into an always-on family calendar, meal planner, and chore board - no $200 hardware purchase required.
Skylight costs $159. You already own a tablet.
Dedicated family displays lock you into expensive hardware for one purpose. Sense Hub does more, on any device you already have.

Everything your family needs to see
Sense Hub puts all your family's info on one screen, organized into panes you can swipe through.
All family events, color-coded by person. Updated the moment you add something from your phone.
This week's meals, visible to everyone. No more "what's for dinner?" - they can just look.
Kids see their tasks and check them off right on the tablet. Builds accountability without nagging.
Family photos as a screensaver when the display is idle. Better than a blank screen.
Permission slips, doctor appointments, library books - whatever's coming up, it's visible.
Never forget a birthday again. Upcoming celebrations are always visible on the display.
Set it up in two minutes
Grab any tablet
An old iPad, a $50 Fire tablet, any Android tablet. Doesn't matter - Sense Hub adapts to any screen.
Turn on Hub mode
Open Sense, go to Settings, tap "Display Mode." The tablet becomes an always-on family display.
Mount and plug in
Kitchen counter, entryway, hallway. Use a stand or a $15 wall mount. Keep it plugged in and you're done.
Designed to stay on all day
Screen brightness adjusts based on time of day so it won't light up your house at 2am.
Calendar, meals, chores, photos - swipe between panes to see everything at a glance.
Add an event on your phone while you're out. It shows up on the hub before you get home.
However you mount your tablet, the layout adjusts. Landscape on the counter, portrait on the wall - both work.
Common questions
Will it burn in my tablet screen?
Modern LCD and OLED screens handle static content well. Sense Hub dims the screen at night, which further reduces any risk. Many families have run it for months without issues.
Can my kids interact with it?
Yes. They can check off chores and browse the schedule directly on the tablet. It stays in Hub mode so they can't wander into other apps.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar in Sense and those events appear on the hub display alongside everything else.
What if I want to use the tablet for other things?
Just exit Hub mode. It's a feature inside the Sense app, not a permanent change. Toggle it on when you want a family display, off when you need the tablet back.
What parents are saying
We stuck an old iPad on the kitchen counter and now everyone checks it instead of asking me what's happening today. It's changed our mornings.
I was about to buy a Skylight for $200. Then I found Sense Hub and just used the Fire tablet we already had. Saves money and does way more.
My kids actually check off their chores now because they walk past the tablet every day. Visibility changed everything.
That old tablet deserves a second life
Turn it into the family hub your kitchen has been missing.
