Summary

The Skylight Buddy is a $139.99 tablet designed specifically for kids aged 4-10 to help them track routines and chores. It requires adult setup via the Skylight app and offers limited features without the optional $39/year Plus subscription. Despite its simplicity and subscription model, the device proved surprisingly effective at motivating a young child to complete tasks like cleaning up toys.

Never underestimate the power that a cheap tablet holds over a kid under six.

The Skylight Buddy is a device with one job: to be a cute little guy that helps your kid track routines and chores.

To my surprise, even though it offers a pretty limited set of features without the $39-per-year 'Plus' features, it actually worked.

Snippet from the RSS feed

The Skylight Buddy is a chore tracker for kids with a simple, appealing interface — though you only get a few features without paying for a subscription.
