Skylight Buddy Turns Chore Time Into a Kid-Friendly Game

The Verge tests the Skylight Buddy, a $139.99 kid-focused calendar and chore tracker that uses emoji-cards to guide a child through daily routines. Basic features work without the $39/year “Buddy Plus” subscription, turning chores into a small game with on-screen celebrations; however, the app lacks flexibility—tasks can’t be moved between days or reordered easily, and there’s no calendar view. Still, many parents may find this cute, screen-based helper effective for structuring a child’s day, despite the price.
