Why not Skylight
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.

On the display
Everything your family needs to see.
Sense Hub puts all your family's info on one screen, organized into panes you can swipe through.
Meal plan
This week's meals, visible to everyone. No more "what's for dinner?" - they can just look.
Chores
Kids see their tasks and check them off right on the tablet. Builds accountability without nagging.
Photo slideshow
Family photos as a screensaver when the display is idle. Better than a blank screen.
Reminders
Permission slips, doctor appointments, library books. Whatever's coming up, it's visible.
Birthdays
Never forget a birthday again. Upcoming celebrations are always visible on the display.
Setup
Set it up in two minutes.
Step 01
Grab any tablet
An old iPad, a $50 Fire tablet, any Android tablet. Doesn't matter. Sense Hub adapts to any screen.
Step 02
Turn on Hub mode
Open Sense, go to Settings, tap Display Mode. The tablet becomes an always-on family display.
Step 03
Mount and plug in
Kitchen counter, entryway, hallway. Use a stand or a $15 wall mount. Keep it plugged in and you're done.
Always on
Designed to stay on all day.
-
Dims automatically at night
Screen brightness adjusts based on time of day so it won't light up your house at 2am.
-
Rotates through panes
Calendar, meals, chores, photos. Swipe between panes to see everything at a glance.
-
Syncs instantly with your phone
Add an event on your phone while you're out. It shows up on the hub before you get home.
-
Works in landscape and portrait
However you mount your tablet, the layout adjusts. Landscape on the counter, portrait on the wall. Both work.
Parents
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."
Laura M. Chicago, IL - Mom of 3
"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."
Raj P. San Jose, CA - Dad of 2
"My kids actually check off their chores now because they walk past the tablet every day. Visibility changed everything."
Stephanie K. Nashville, TN - Mom of 2
FAQ
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.
