Hide Lists

From time to time, you may want to keep your lists private, so that they do not appear on Calendar devices in your household. You may be planning a birthday party, and you want to keep the shopping list for gifts and the to-do list for the party secret so that no one discovers them on the calendar and ruins the surprise.

You can now hide individual lists in the Skylight Mobile App to keep them from appearing on Calendars!
