CustomFrames weekly calendar with colour-coded family events, shown with sample data

Your family.
In one frame.

Photos, plans and everyday routines, together on the tablet you already own.

1 GB free per household. App launch coming soon.

Make room for family

A shared calendar, everyday routines and tonight's dinner. On the tablet you already own.

One calendar. Everyone.

School runs, swimming, birthdays and appointments, colour-coded in one shared view. Add one-off or recurring events in the app and show them on your paired frame while connected.

Choose Day, Week, Month or Agenda from your phone or a touch-enabled frame. Filter people and calendars so each room shows what matters.

Little jobs. Together.

Give everyone a profile, colour and optional portrait. Assign chores and morning or evening routines, then see who has finished and what's still to do.

Tick off tasks on a touch-enabled display, or use your controller phone when the frame is out of reach or has no touchscreen.

Effort earns a little joy

Award stars for completed tasks and set rewards your family cares about: choosing dessert, a movie night or a trip to the park.

See each person's balance, which rewards they can redeem and how many stars they still need.

What's for dinner?

Plan breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, save recipes and keep shopping or to-do lists together. Everyone can see the plan without asking for your phone.

Add countdowns for birthdays and trips, and choose the people and information each display shows.

And there's more

Connect the calendars you use, share favourite memories and control every room from your phone.

Explore the interactive displays
Connect your calendars
Bring in Google and Microsoft calendars, school or club iCal/webcal feeds, and CalDAV accounts such as iCloud and Yahoo. Imported events are read-only; edit them with their original provider. App-created changes sync while connected, and linked calendars refresh periodically.
Photos & memories
Pick albums and favourites for each frame. Show captions, adjust crop and rotation, pair portrait photos side by side, and choose slideshow transitions. Rediscover photos from this day in earlier years. Supported displays can play Live Photo motion and short clips, with optional sound.
Share with your household
Invite relatives with Administrator, Editor, Contributor or Viewer access. Let guests submit photos through expiring upload links with limits and optional approval. Add selected photos from Google Photos or public iCloud shared albums; these imports currently copy photos into your household library.
Control every screen
Pair by QR or manual code. Select content, schedules, calendar views, brightness and quiet hours from the app, including for non-touch displays. Use native foreground keep-awake or browser playback with device sleep settings. Cached photos can keep playing through a connection interruption; browser offline reload is not guaranteed.
Beyond the family calendar
Show scheduled announcements, branded slides, meeting-room availability, weather and countdowns. Switch between photos, Calendar, Family and office layouts, with display schedules and settings for each frame. The app supports 12 languages.
Optional connected tools
With the service configured, review AI suggestions from pasted text, photos or PDFs for events, chores, lists, meals and more before saving. Announcement templates work without AI; optional AI drafts need review. Email photo intake, SMS/MMS and desktop screen sharing require their own provider or network setup. Native scanning and system sharing require supported devices and builds.

One frame, eight displays

Albums you choose for each frame, favourites twice as often, and clips with their sound. Crossfade, Fade through black, Slide or Drift, at the speed you pick.

  • Photos
  • Calendar
  • Office board
  • Family routines
  • Lists
  • Meals
  • Countdowns
  • Rewards

Pages turn every 15 seconds, and each display can have its own hours.

Settings a family uses

Each frame keeps its own settings in the app. Try a few; this is what they change.

Bring back photos from this day.

Photos taken on today's date come round three times as often, with a note such as “On this day · 3 years ago”.

Show the week at breakfast.

Calendar from 06:30 to 09:00 on weekdays, then back to photos. Up to 14 days ahead on the screen remote.

Dim the screen through the night.

Black from 22:00 to 06:30, sound muted, and the morning schedule picks up by itself.

Let the cousins add photos by link.

A guest page in 12 languages, with an expiry, a photo limit and your approval before anything plays.

Set two portraits side by side.

Tall photos share one landscape screen instead of sitting small between black bars.

Fair questions

What works today, and what you set up yourself.

Can I reuse an old iPad or Android tablet?

Yes, if it can run the current CustomFrames app or a supported modern browser over HTTPS. Phones can be frames too. Choose Frame on the display and Controller on your everyday phone. Older devices with unsupported operating systems or browsers may not work; age alone does not guarantee compatibility. No custom OS or flashing is required.

Will the screen stay on by itself?

The native app keeps the screen awake while Frame mode is displaying in the foreground. Browser wake lock is best effort: keep the tab visible and adjust screen-sleep settings on the device. Fullscreen support varies by browser. For a dedicated display, use Guided Access on iPhone and iPad or screen pinning on Android. Use a sound battery, a suitable charger and a ventilated stand; do not reuse a device with a swollen or damaged battery.

Can I try it without installing an app?

Yes. Open the published CustomFrames web app in a supported browser on your tablet and choose Frame. Pair it from your phone using the QR or manual code. This marketing page is not the frame player. Browser controls cannot guarantee that the operating system keeps the screen on, and clearing site data removes the browser's pairing.

What happens when the Wi-Fi drops?

Cached photos can continue playing, with a cache of up to 256 MB. Browser storage may be cleared by the device, and reloading a browser frame offline is not guaranteed. Touch-screen changes are queued locally and sent when the connection returns.

Do iPhone photos work?

Yes. HEIC photos are converted to JPEG as they are added, so every frame can show them. Live Photos and short clips play too, with sound if you turn it on for that frame.

Is this a family calendar as well as a photo frame?

Yes. Choose Day, Week, Month or Agenda and give each person a colour. Add recurring events, connect Google or Microsoft calendars, subscribe to school and club iCal/webcal feeds, or use CalDAV accounts such as iCloud and Yahoo. Chores, rewards, lists, meal plans and countdowns make the tablet a family planning hub too. CustomFrames is an independent product, not a Skylight integration, and does not claim every Skylight feature.

Who in the family can change things?

You invite people by email and give each one a role: Administrator, Editor, Contributor or Viewer. Grandparents can add photos without being able to change a frame's settings.

Will I be charged after a trial?

No. The 1 GB household allowance is free and nobody is charged automatically. The paid plans, Bring your own cloud at $4.99 a month and Photos 100 GB at $9.99 a month (20% less when paid yearly), are not on sale yet.

Is there a CustomFrames picture frame to buy?

Not yet. Dedicated wall frames are in development; today CustomFrames runs on the phones, tablets and browsers you already own. Builders can follow that work in the hardware handbook, linked at the foot of this page.

Give your tablet a purpose

Start with the tablet you already own. Choose Frame on it, then use your everyday phone as Controller to add photos, calendars and routines.
