Prism

A subscription-free, self-hosted family dashboard that integrates with the tools you already use without becoming yet another system of record.

Install Prism View on GitHub

Prism is a configurable family dashboard for large wall-mounted screens, tablets, and phones. It connects to Google Calendar, Apple iCloud (CalDAV), Microsoft To Do, OneDrive, Open-Meteo / OpenWeatherMap, 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.

Display modes

  • Screensaver: photo slideshow after idle timeout, configurable templates.
  • Away Mode: privacy screen with photos and clock only, auto-activates after extended inactivity. Parent PIN to exit.
  • Babysitter Mode: caregiver overlay with emergency contacts, WiFi QR, and house rules.

Voice (optional)

If you have an Echo, the Alexa skill lets you ask Prism for today's events, today's tasks, the weather, the family list, upcoming birthdays, and (if configured) the school bus ETA. Single-user personal skill: no AWS Lambda, no third-party hosting.

Self-hosted, privacy-first

  • All data stays on your hardware. No vendor accounts, no telemetry, no subscriptions.
  • PIN-based auth optimized for shared family devices. Parent vs. child roles for sensitive actions.
  • Runs as Docker Compose on anything from a Raspberry Pi 4 to a beefy NAS.
  • Works as a PWA: same UI on wall displays, tablets, and phones.
