Running a family can feel like a full-time job, and many could benefit from operating more like a business. Hearth Display is a wall-mounted touchscreen calendar designed to bring families together by “eliminating the friction and pain points” around day-to-day planning, says company co-founder Susie Harrison. The device offers individual profiles for each household member (with kid-friendly templates) to take ownership of their responsibilities, whether it be doing homework or taking out the trash. The accompanying smartphone app provides on-the-go access to the shared calendar and AI assistance from the Hearth Helper, which can easily digitize items like paper invitations and add them to a family’s schedule.
