Everything you need

Modern digital signage without the compromises

💎

Free

Open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. No licence fees, no hidden costs – use it privately or commercially without restrictions.

🏠

Self-hosted

Keep full control over your data. Built for a local NAS (Synology Web Station, for example) – your content never leaves your server.

🧩

No database, no Docker

Copy the files into a web root and you are done. Content lives in plain JSON files, so a backup is copying a folder. All you need is PHP.

✏️

Block editor

Drag a module onto the canvas, click, done. Fifteen blocks – text, heading, image, slideshow, weather with a 3-day forecast, RSS feed, ticker, table, shape, web page, QR code, countdown, animation and video.

🖥️

Multi-display

Feed several screens with different content – each with its own URL, a QR code to connect it and an online status in the admin area.

🕒

Playlists & schedules

Group slides into playlists and switch them automatically by time of day – breakfast menu in the morning, bar list at night. Plus valid-from/until dates per slide for holidays and promotions.

🌍

English & German

The whole interface switches between English and German in the settings – including the display side and the weather conditions.

📦

Templates & backup

Save slides as templates and reuse them, export and import them individually – and move to a new installation with a full backup.
