A subscription-free, self-hosted family dashboard that integrates with the tools you already use without becoming yet another system of record.
Prism is a configurable family dashboard designed for large wall-mounted screens and handheld tablets. It connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft To Do, OneDrive, Apple iCloud (CalDAV), Kroger / Mariano's, and more, and surfaces the information your family actually needs in one place. Built for people who value privacy, hate subscriptions, and are comfortable with Docker.

I wanted a family dashboard that connected to the tools we already use and didn't require a monthly subscription. DAKboard is configurable but feels like a solo project that outgrew itself. Skylight is clean but fairly limited. Both offer free tiers that don't go very far, and the paid versions cost money on an ongoing basis. Open-source alternatives like MagicMirror², Homarr, and Home Assistant exist, but they're all built for somewhat different use cases.
The integrations reflect the tools my family actually uses: Microsoft To Do for tasks and shopping, Google Calendar for scheduling, OneDrive for photos, Open-Meteo / OpenWeatherMap for weather, Kroger online cart for groceries.
I'm not a software developer, but I work in a technical field where AI tools are increasingly central to how work gets done. This project was built entirely with Claude Code — I directed requirements, design, and product decisions; Claude Code handled the implementation. I've done what I can to make this solid (CI pipeline, E2E tests, security policy), but I can't make guarantees I'm not qualified to make. Use reasonable judgment about what you expose to the internet.
