I shared an announcement in r/skylightcalendar for a free, independent utility that lets customers use the Apple apps they already rely on alongside their Skylight Calendar.

It was removed.

The utility does not replace the Skylight Calendar. It gives customers more control over how they use their own photos, reminders, notes, recipes, and chore information, instead of requiring everything to live only inside Skylight’s app.

The post was clearly labeled independent and unofficial. It did not promote unapproved hardware or accessories. I asked which specific rule or guideline it violated and requested a response.

I cannot say why it was removed. But the practical result is that a tool which expands the product’s usefulness, without keeping every feature inside Skylight’s own app, was not allowed to be discussed in Skylight’s subreddit.

Hi, I’m Oliver. I built Skylight Bridge, an independent Mac app for families who use a Skylight Calendar alongside Apple Photos, Apple Reminders, and Apple Notes.

The idea is straightforward: keep the selected things your household already manages in Apple apps visible on the Skylight, without entering them twice.

What Skylight Bridge can map

Apple Photos → Skylight albums

Map a selected album, folder, shared album, Favorites, or individual photos to a Skylight album. You choose exactly what is included, so the app never uploads your whole library.

For individually selected photos, Skylight Bridge can create a concise name on-device with Apple Intelligence after the picker closes. It does not rename, edit, or otherwise change the photo in Apple Photos.

Apple Reminders ↔ Skylight lists

Map the specific household Reminders lists you want on Skylight. A mapping can be one-way or two-way, and linked lists can retain additions made on either side. When a linked list is renamed, the mapping keeps that relationship intact.

Apple Notes ↔ Skylight Recipe Box

Map an Apple Notes recipe folder or selected recipe notes to Skylight’s Recipe Box. Skylight Bridge parses recipes into their title, ingredients, instructions, timing, tags, and source URL.

With the Automatic recipe setting, Apple Intelligence runs on your Mac to choose the best existing Skylight recipe category and add a fitting emoji to titles that need one. Recipe content stays on the Mac for that classification. If Apple Intelligence is unavailable, the app falls back gracefully.

For two-way recipe sync, Skylight Bridge can also format the Apple Notes it creates or rewrites with a title heading, section headings, and native ingredient and instruction lists.

Skylight Chore Chart ↔ Apple Reminders

Connect the Skylight Chore Chart with Apple Reminders lists for the household members selected in Skylight. The mapping is two-way: recurring chores remain recurring in Reminders, and completing a chore on either side updates that day’s occurrence on the other.

A few things I care about

• Every mapping is opt-in. It does not import every photo, list, or note.
• Original Apple Photos and Apple Notes remain untouched.
• You can review planned changes in the app’s Activity screen before enabling live sync.
• It is not an official Skylight app.

I built this because I wanted our Skylight to reflect the systems we already use, instead of becoming another place to update manually. The Mac app is free to download, and I’d love feedback from anyone who gives it a try.
