The Skylight Cal Max is a unique gadget that bridges the gap between a smart display and a digital picture frame. Its primary function is as a calendar, offering a centralized location for you and your family to sync schedules. However, when not actively displaying your schedule, it transforms into a digital frame showcasing your favorite photos. To enjoy this feature, you’ll need to send photos to your Skylight Cal Max, a process that’s quick and easy, with several methods available. Remember, sending photos and creating photo albums require a Skylight Plus membership, costing $39 per year. Once signed up, you’re ready to utilize your Cal Max as a digital picture frame.
