Is anyone actually doing Greenlight Family Hub??
I saw that the Greenlight Family Hub was recently launched. And It finally has the chore functionality I’ve been looking for!!!
So why am I so disappointed??
Honestly, I wanted more Apple integration. If I have a smart display in my home, I want it to check all these boxes:
✅ Greenlight Chore functionality
✅ Apple/Google/Microsoft Calendar sync
✅ Family photos
❌ Music service integration (Apple, Amazon, Spotify, etc)
❌ Smart home app integration
❌ Apple Reminders sync (where I keep Grocery lists and other tasks)
❌ Apple Shortcuts integration
❌ ChatGPT/Google/Siri/AI assistant of choice
Apple is rumored to launch a display-style Home Pod before the end of 2026. It would do ALL these things (except Greenlight chore functionality) AND SO MUCH MORE.
I can’t help but think that Greenlight is unintentionally narrowing their market for this product to anyone who is NOT in the Apple ecosystem.
This could simply be remedied by providing Apple Shortcuts integration, pre-built widgets, or API access. Hell, I’d be willing to pay for any one of these things. I just wish Greenlight Card had addressed this need with software—not hardware.
So now I’m back at square one. Do I cancel my Greenlight subscription and use Apple shortcuts, widgets, etc to build something that works for my family and just use an old iPad (and eventually the upcoming Apple Home display)?
