You can upload a single photo, multiple photos, or even a Zip file of photos! If you upload a Zip file, Skylight will automatically open the Zip file and add any photos in the Zip file to the selected Skylight devices.

There is a limit of 25 megabytes for each upload using the Skylight Desktop App.

We’ve made it easier to get to your recipes in both the Skylight Calendar and the Skylight App!

Manage Your Recipes With the Recipes Tab On Your Calendar

We’ve added a new tab to the Skylight Calendar:

Tap it to access and manage all of your recipes:

Please see Using the Recipes Tab for more.

Manage Your Recipes with Recipes In the Mobile App

We’ve added Recipes to the Skylight Mobile App:

In the Mobile App, you can easily add the ingredients of your recipe to your Grocery List using the Add to List button when viewing a recipe:

You can use the Instacart integration to have your Grocery List delivered to your door!

When creating a new recipe with Sidekick, you can now tell Sidekick what ingredients you have with photos of your fridge or pantry.

Sidekick will use your photos to help create a recipe using what you already have in your kitchen.

Use Fridge Photo to Show Sidekick What Ingredients You Have

With the new Fridge Photo feature in Sidekick, you can take photos of your fridge and pantry:

…and add them to your Sidekick recipe request:

Sidekick will scan your photos for available ingredients. As always, you can also type in other ingredients that you have that weren’t included in the photo, as well as list any preferences or dietary restrictions that Sidekick should honor when creating the new recipe.

We’ve made some changes to the Skylight Apps give them a new look, and reorganized the user interface to better support adding future features.
These changes apply to both the Skylight Mobile App and the Skylight Desktop App.

A New Look

The home page on the Skylight Apps has been changed to show a colorful grid of icons, collecting all of the Skylight functions in one place.:

The new icon grid leaves space on the home screen for a quick preview of upcoming events.

The My Skylight Menu

In the upper left hand corner of the screen is a button for the new My Skylight menu:

Selecting this menu button will show the new My Skylight menu:

The My Skylight menu has everything you need to manage your skylight account.

Countdowns

We use calendars to keep track of what we need to remember to do. Calendars are fun when we are keeping track of something we’re looking forward to. With Countdowns, Skylight can count the days for you.

Pick any event you have made and set it as a count down, and Skylight Calendar will do the rest. The count down until the event will appear in the calendar view:

….as part of the event pop-up:

…and even on your Calendar’s screensaver:
