A new smart display called the Digital Calendar promises to replace your wall calendar with a sleek screen that shows appointments, weather, and reminders. Even with a current $150 discount, the device still costs around $500.
The calendar connects to your phone and popular apps like Google Calendar to display your schedule on a clean, minimalist screen. It’s designed to hang on your wall like artwork, showing the date, upcoming events, and local weather at a glance.
Beautiful but pricey
The Digital Calendar definitely looks impressive. Its creators designed it to blend into modern homes without the clunky appearance of most smart displays. The screen is crisp, the interface is clean, and it syncs seamlessly with the apps you already use.
But here’s the problem: most people already carry a device that does all of this and more. Your smartphone shows your calendar, weather, and reminders instantly. Smart speakers like Alexa can tell you your schedule when asked. Even basic tablets can display calendar apps for much less money.
The company is clearly targeting people who want their homes to look more futuristic and don’t mind paying premium prices for design. Think of it as the smart home equivalent of designer furniture.
What’s next
Smart displays for specific tasks like calendars will likely get cheaper over time, but right now they’re luxury items. Unless you’re renovating a modern home and money isn’t tight, your phone probably handles calendar duties just fine.
