## Everything You Need

One platform to manage all your digital signage

📺

### Multi-Zone Layouts

Split screens into zones with a drag-and-drop editor. 7 built-in templates or create your own.

🎬

### Video Wall

Combine multiple displays into one giant screen. Automatic bezel compensation. Any grid size.

🖥

### Remote Control

See what's on screen in real-time. Send key presses, navigate menus, power on/off remotely.

📅

### Scheduling

Visual weekly calendar with recurrence rules. Schedule per device or for whole groups — device rules override the group.

🎶

### Playlists

Share one playlist across many displays. Draft changes, preview, then publish — or revert to the last published version.

🏢

### Directory Board

Scrolling lobby, building, and staff directories. Categories, dark & light themes, anti-burn-in. Not found in any other open-source CMS.

🔧

### Content Designer

Built-in editor with live clocks, weather, RSS tickers, countdowns, QR codes, and more.

🖱

### Kiosk Mode

Create interactive touchscreen interfaces. Wayfinding, directories, check-in screens.

📊

### Proof-of-Play

Track what played, when, and on which device. Export CSV reports for ad verification.

🔔

### Alerts & Monitoring

Email alerts when devices go offline. Full telemetry: battery, storage, WiFi, uptime.

🔌

### Offline Resilience

Displays keep playing cached content when the internet or your server drops. They catch up automatically when you're back.

📱

### Mobile Dashboard

Manage everything from your phone. The full dashboard works on any mobile browser — no separate app needed.

🔒

### Self-Hosted Option

Deploy on your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your network. Lock down signups with a single env var.

🎨

### White Label

Custom branding, colors, logo, and domain. Resell under your own brand.

👥

### Teams

Multi-user accounts with owner, editor, and viewer roles. Invite by email.

🔄

### Auto-Update

Devices automatically update when you push a new version. Zero manual intervention.

## Runs on Everything

No hardware lock-in. Use any screen you already have.
