The report card
Best for a wall-mounted family calendar screen
Hearth Display is a 27-inch wall touchscreen for a family calendar, lists, routines and meal planning. It costs $699 for the screen plus a membership from $5.76 a month, and it does nothing without the membership.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $699 for the display plus $5.76 a month on a 3-year plan, far above the $5.99 middle one-time price of calendar tools, though it includes hardware. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free tier: the first membership month is free and the display has a 120-day return window, which is not a trial. |
| Features | C | Shared calendar, a helper, routines and rewards, lists and meal planning. It needs the paid membership to run. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You mount the screen and connect your calendars. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | One device plus a companion app, and the platforms for the app are not stated. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Hearth Display you could make: calendar, tasks and habit tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 113 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $69.12 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar, tasks and habit tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Hearth Display’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
