    I splurged and bought us the Hearth Display after feeling very overwhelmed with managing family and work schedules.

    Tried hearth for 3 weeks. It’s not for me/us. ... the price tag is steep for a product that lacks meal planning, grocery lists, an actual app in the Apple Store.

    We got the Hearth and massively regret it. ... It's more of a product in beta.

Decision context

What the ledger says to check

Compatibility
27-inch wall-mounted display; Google, iCal and Outlook calendar sync; iOS/Android companion app.
Price snapshot
Hearth lists the display at $699, and its own page showed a $629.10 promotional price on 2026-08-08; promotions come and go, so check the current listing before you buy. Budget for the Family Membership on top of the hardware: it is $9 a month, with discounted annual, two-year and three-year rates, and Hearth’s product page contradicts itself on whether a membership is required to set the display up. A second hands-on reviewer was prompted for payment details before setup finished and reports a cancellable one-month free trial, saying the calendar still works without a membership but without many premium features — an independent account of the same ambiguity, not an answer to it.
Safety & privacy
Hearth lists Privacy Mode among customizable features and does not say what that mode covers. A second hands-on reviewer reports a camera at the top of the screen, not currently used for anything on the unit they tested, and keeps it behind the privacy shutter Hearth includes in the box.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Hearth Display cost?
Hearth lists the display at $699, and its own page showed a $629.10 promotional price on 2026-08-08; promotions come and go, so check the current listing before you buy. Budget for the Family Membership on top of the hardware: it is $9 a month, with discounted annual, two-year and three-year rates, and Hearth’s product page contradicts itself on whether a membership is required to set the display up. A second hands-on reviewer was prompted for payment details before setup finished and reports a cancellable one-month free trial, saying the calendar still works without a membership but without many premium features — an independent account of the same ambiguity, not an answer to it.

What do you need to use the Hearth Display?
27-inch wall-mounted display; Google, iCal and Outlook calendar sync; iOS/Android companion app.
What do reviewers say about the Hearth Display?
Forbes Vetted reports a year-plus family test with easy calendar use and early touchscreen/freezing issues improved by updates. Taste of Home adds a second hands-on account after a couple of months of daily use: quick wall mounting, view-only iCal imports unless you route calendars through Google, no cord cover in the box, and an unused front camera kept behind the included privacy shutter. Two independent hands-on reviews, both positive overall; neither resolves whether a Family Membership is required.
Does the Hearth Display require a paid membership?
Hearth's own product page answers this two ways, so we do not publish a definitive answer: its top copy and a footnote both say a Family Membership is required to set up the display, while its own FAQ says core features work without one. Budget for both costs until Hearth clarifies — $699 for the hardware and $9/month for Family Membership, with discounted annual, two-year and three-year rates — and confirm the current requirement with Hearth before you buy.
Is the Hearth Display a tablet?
No — the Hearth Display is a 27-inch wall-mounted display, not a handheld tablet. It syncs with Google, iCal and Outlook calendars and has iOS/Android companion apps.
What is Hearth Helper?
Hearth Helper is the Hearth Display's built-in AI assistant, one of its key features alongside shared calendars and profiles, routines and rewards, lists, and meal planning.
Can you edit an Apple or iCloud calendar on the Hearth Display?
Hearth documents sync for Google, iCal and Outlook calendars, but a second hands-on reviewer found that iCal calendars brought in by public link arrive view-only on the display — the events show up, and you cannot change them there. That reviewer regained full editing by routing Apple Calendar through Google Calendar instead of importing the iCal link directly. This is one reviewer’s account rather than a limitation Hearth publishes, so if two-way editing from an iCloud household is what you are buying the display for, plan on the Google route or confirm the current behaviour with Hearth first.
Does the Hearth Display have a camera?
Yes. A second hands-on reviewer reports a camera at the top of the screen, says it is not currently used for anything, and keeps it covered with the privacy shutter Hearth includes in the box. Hearth lists a Privacy Mode among the display’s customizable features but does not say what the camera is for, so treat “unused” as that reviewer’s account of the unit they tested rather than a commitment about future software. If an always-on screen with a lens in it is not something you want on a kitchen or living-room wall, the included shutter is the control you would be relying on — confirm with Hearth what the camera does before you buy.
Is the Hearth Display a digital wall calendar or a family organizer?
Both. The Hearth Display is a 27-inch wall-mounted touchscreen rather than a handheld tablet: it shows your synced Google, iCal and Outlook calendars, and Hearth lists organizer features alongside them — shared profiles, routines and rewards, lists, meal planning and the built-in Hearth Helper assistant, with iOS and Android companion apps. A second hands-on reviewer found wall mounting quick using the included hardware and built-in level, and notes that no cord cover comes in the box. If your household runs on Apple Calendar, read the iCal answer on this page before you buy — that reviewer found link-imported iCal calendars arrive view-only.
