OurFamilyWizard to Skylight
Your OurFamilyWizard calendar, on the Skylight.
A Skylight on the kitchen wall answers "whose house tonight?" before anyone asks. OFWSync turns your OFW schedule into a calendar your Skylight syncs, with parenting time, handoffs and events, and keeps it current when OFW changes.

What shows up in Skylight
- Parenting time All-day events named for whoever has the children overnight, like "With Dana". Or show the exact exchange times instead.
- Handoffs A short "Handoff to …" event at each mid-day exchange, so the pickup time is right there.
- Events Practices, appointments and school events, with their times, locations, notes and reminders.
It's read-only and one-way. We never post, message or change anything in OFW.
Set it up in about five minutes
You only do this once. After that, changes in OFW come through on their own.
- 1 Sign up for OFWSync, then enter your OurFamilyWizard email and password. We check them with OFW and start your first sync, which usually takes a minute or two.
- 2 Choose what comes across in Feed settings: parenting time, handoffs, events, or all three. Name each household and pick how far ahead to sync.
- 3 Open your OFWSync dashboard, choose Skylight and copy your private feed link.
- 4 Open the Skylight app on your phone or computer, tap the menu in the top right and choose Synced Calendars.
- 5 Tap Sync new calendar, then Calendar URL.
- 6 Paste the link into Calendar public share URL and tap Done.
How fast changes show up
On Lite, we check OFW once a day; On Plus, we check OFW every hour. Compare plans
Skylight fetches synced calendars on its own schedule, so a change shows up on the display some time after we've picked it up from OFW.
Your OFW password, handled carefully
OurFamilyWizard has no way to give another app read-only access, so we sign in as you to read your calendar. Your password is encrypted before we store it and used for nothing else, and disconnecting deletes it straight away. How we protect your sign-in
Skylight questions
Something else on your mind? Visit support.
- What will the kids see?
- Parenting time shows as all-day events named for each household. Rename them in Feed settings to something like "Mom's house" and "Dad's house" so they read naturally on the wall.
- Can someone change the schedule from the Skylight?
- No. Synced calendars are read-only. Changes are made in OFW and come through on the next sync.
- Can I leave some things off the display?
- Yes. In Feed settings, turn parenting time, handoffs or events on or off, and choose how far ahead to sync.
