<h1>Best Anthias Alternative (2026): SwiftDisplay vs Anthias</h1>
<p class="lead">Anthias (formerly Screenly OSE) is a beloved free, open-source signage project for the Raspberry Pi. But it is built around one Pi driving one screen. Here is an honest comparison with SwiftDisplay for anyone who needs to manage more than a single display.</p>
<h2>The short answer</h2>
<p><strong>Anthias</strong> is free, open source, and has been active since 2012 with around 3,500 GitHub stars. It runs on the Raspberry Pi 2 through 5 and positions itself as "free digital signage for everyone - no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in." It is essentially one-Pi-one-screen: single-screen oriented, with no multi-tenant or team management and a thin widget ecosystem. (Screenly is the paid-cloud parent product.)</p>
<p><strong>ScreenTinker</strong> is also free, open source (MIT), and self-hostable - but it adds a modern web dashboard, multi-device fleet management, video walls with multi-screen sync, group sync, scheduling and dayparting, players well beyond the Pi, and an optional managed cloud. It is the better fit the moment you go past a single screen.</p>

<li><strong>Low footprint.</strong> Purpose-built for the Pi, so it runs well on modest hardware.</li>

<h2>Where ScreenTinker is the better choice</h2>
<h2>Where SwiftDisplay is the better choice</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>You have more than one screen.</strong> Anthias is single-screen oriented with no multi-tenant or team management. ScreenTinker is built around multi-device fleet management from the start.</li>
<li><strong>You need video walls or synced screens.</strong> ScreenTinker does video walls with multi-screen sync and per-group synchronized playback. Anthias does not.</li>
<li><strong>You run mixed hardware.</strong> Beyond the Pi, ScreenTinker has native players for Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Amazon Vega OS, and any web browser. Anthias is Raspberry Pi only.</li>

<li><strong>You want real scheduling and widgets.</strong> Dayparting, content expiry, and native widgets (YouTube, RSS, Weather, Clock, plus a universal Webpage widget for any framable URL) go well past Anthias's basic scheduling and thin widget set.</li>
<li><strong>You want the option of managed cloud later.</strong> Self-host for free now, and move to the managed cloud without changing products if you ever want hosting handled for you.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Pricing snapshot</h2>
<p>Both Anthias and self-hosted ScreenTinker are <strong>free and open source</strong> - Anthias on your Raspberry Pi, ScreenTinker on a $5 VPS that comfortably runs hundreds of screens. The difference is not price but reach: ScreenTinker adds fleet management, video walls, group sync, and multi-platform players at the same free-and-self-hosted price point, plus an optional managed cloud (Free, Starter $39/mo, Pro $99/mo) if you would rather not run a server.</p>

<p class="lead">OptiSigns has built a strong reputation in restaurants, retail, and small business signage. Here is an honest comparison with SwiftDisplay covering features, pricing, and where each fits best.</p>
<h2>The short answer</h2>
<p><strong>OptiSigns</strong> is a well-marketed cloud signage product with a deep template library and good documentation. It targets non-technical buyers and works particularly well for restaurants and retail menus.</p>
<p><strong>ScreenTinker</strong> is open source (MIT licensed), self-hostable, runs on hardware you already own with no lock-in, and is meaningfully cheaper at higher screen counts. It is a better fit if you have any technical capacity, you care about data sovereignty, or you operate at a scale where per-screen pricing hurts.</p>

<h1>Best ScreenCloud Alternative (2026): ScreenTinker vs ScreenCloud</h1>
<h1>Best ScreenCloud Alternative (2026): SwiftDisplay vs ScreenCloud</h1>
<p class="lead">ScreenCloud is a polished enterprise digital signage platform - but pricing scales fast. Here is an honest comparison covering features, pricing, and where each fits best.</p>
<h2>The short answer</h2>
<p><strong>ScreenCloud</strong> is a mature, well-designed cloud signage product targeted at mid-market and enterprise customers. It has strong app integrations (Slack, Power BI, Google Drive) and excellent support. It is also one of the most expensive options on the market.</p>
<p><strong>ScreenTinker</strong> is open source (MIT licensed), self-hostable, and dramatically cheaper at scale. It is a better fit if you want to keep data on your own infrastructure, you have budget pressure, or your screen count makes ScreenCloud's per-screen pricing untenable.</p>
<p><strong>SwiftDisplay</strong> is open source (MIT licensed), self-hostable, and dramatically cheaper at scale. It is a better fit if you want to keep data on your own infrastructure, you have budget pressure, or your screen count makes ScreenCloud's per-screen pricing untenable.</p>

<h1>Best Xibo Alternative (2026): ScreenTinker vs Xibo</h1>

<p class="lead">Xibo is one of the oldest open-source digital signage projects. But its open-source edition ships only a Windows player - the Android, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS players you probably want cost money. Here is an honest comparison with SwiftDisplay.</p>
<h2>The short answer</h2>
<p><strong>Xibo</strong> is a mature, well-documented signage platform that has been around since roughly 2010, with a strong community forum. Its CMS is open source under the AGPLv3 licence - but only the CMS and the Windows player are free. The Android, Tizen, and webOS players require paid perpetual per-device licences, and there is no free plan (the homepage funnels you into a 14-day trial and a paid cloud CMS).</p>
<p><strong>ScreenTinker</strong> is open source (MIT licensed), self-hostable, and <em>every</em> player is free - Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Amazon Vega OS, Raspberry Pi, and any web browser. No per-device player licence, and there is a genuine free plan. It is the better fit if you want the mainstream players without buying licences, or you want a straightforward MIT codebase you can fork.</p>

<p><strong>ScreenTinker</strong> is open source (MIT licensed), self-hostable, and runs on any screen you already own with no hardware lock-in. It is a better fit if you want to keep your data on your own infrastructure, avoid per-screen lock-in, or you have more than a handful of screens and want to control the cost curve.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>You need data sovereignty.</strong> If your content includes PII, internal documents, or you operate in regulated industries (healthcare, government, finance), self-hosting is the only way to keep data off a third-party cloud. Yodeck cannot do this.</li>
<li><strong>You have more than a handful of screens.</strong> Per-screen pricing scales linearly. ScreenTinker Pro is flat at $99/mo for 15 devices, and self-hosters pay nothing per device. At 50+ screens the total cost difference is significant.</li>
<li><strong>You want platform flexibility.</strong> ScreenTinker runs on any device with a browser - Smart TVs, ChromeOS, kiosk PCs, even old Macs. You are not locked into a specific Pi SKU.</li>
<li><strong>You want to read or modify the source.</strong> ScreenTinker is MIT licensed on <a href="https://github.com/screentinker/screentinker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GitHub</a>. Audit the code, extend it, or fork it.</li>
<li><strong>You want live remote control.</strong> ScreenTinker streams a live screenshot feed and forwards touches and key events back to the device. Yodeck only takes occasional screenshots.</li>

<h1>Open Source Digital Signage Software: Free & Self-Hosted (2026)</h1>
<p class="lead">Open source digital signage lets you own your content, skip per-screen subscription fees, and run your screens on your own terms. Here is what it means, why it matters, and how ScreenTinker fits in.</p>
<p class="lead">Open source digital signage lets you own your content, skip per-screen subscription fees, and run your screens on your own terms. Here is what it means, why it matters, and how SwiftDisplay fits in.</p>
<h2>What is open-source digital signage?</h2>
<p>Open-source digital signage is signage software whose source code is publicly available under a permissive license, so anyone can inspect, run, modify, and redistribute it. Instead of renting access to a closed cloud platform, you get the actual application - the content management system (CMS) that schedules and pushes content, plus the players that run on your screens.</p>
<p>ScreenTinker is an open-source digital signage CMS released under the <strong>MIT license</strong>. That license is about as permissive as it gets: you can audit the code, fork it, extend it, and deploy it commercially with no strings attached. You can run it as a managed cloud service or self-host it on a server you control - the same codebase either way.</p>
<p>SwiftDisplay is an open-source digital signage CMS released under the <strong>MIT license</strong>. That license is about as permissive as it gets: you can audit the code, fork it, extend it, and deploy it commercially with no strings attached. You can run it as a managed cloud service or self-host it on a server you control - the same codebase either way.</p>
<h2>Why choose open source over cloud SaaS?</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Data ownership.</strong> With a self-hosted open-source deployment, your content, schedules, device list, and logs live on infrastructure you control - not in a vendor's cloud. For healthcare, finance, government, and education, that is often a hard requirement.</li>
<li><strong>No per-screen fees.</strong> Closed SaaS products charge a recurring fee for every screen, typically $5-15/screen/month. Self-hosting ScreenTinker replaces that with a flat server cost - a $5 VPS can run hundreds of screens.</li>

<li><strong>No vendor lock-in.</strong> If a cloud vendor raises prices, pivots, or shuts down, your deployment goes with it. With MIT-licensed source you own your copy and control your own roadmap.</li>
<li><strong>Auditable and MIT-licensed.</strong> You can read every line, run a security review, and satisfy procurement teams that need to know exactly what runs on the network.</li>
<li><strong>Self-host or cloud.</strong> Open source does not force you onto your own servers. Start on the hosted free plan to evaluate, then self-host when you are ready - or stay on the cloud if you prefer managed hosting.</li>

<h2>How ScreenTinker compares to other open-source options</h2>
<p>ScreenTinker is not the only open-source signage project - the two best-known alternatives are Xibo and Anthias (formerly Screenly OSE).</p>
<p><strong>vs Xibo:</strong> Xibo is open source on the server side, but its player apps are not all free - the Android, Tizen, and webOS players are paid licenses. With ScreenTinker every player is free on every platform. See the <a href="/compare/xibo-alternative.html">ScreenTinker vs Xibo comparison</a>.</p>
<p><strong>vs Anthias:</strong> Anthias is a lightweight single-screen player built for one Raspberry Pi at a time, without a true multi-device fleet CMS. ScreenTinker is a modern multi-device platform - manage Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Pi, and browsers from one dashboard.

<h2>Getting started</h2>
<p>The fastest path is the hosted free plan - one device, no server to run. When you are ready to self-host, clone the repo:</p>
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/screentinker/screentinker.git
cd screentinker/server
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/swiftdisplay/swiftdisplay.git
cd swiftdisplay/server
npm install
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env with your domain, JWT_SECRET, and SELF_HOSTED=true
node server.js</code></pre>
<p>ScreenTinker runs on Node.js with a SQLite database, so a $5 VPS is enough to manage hundreds of screens. Full deployment details are in the <a href="https://github.com/screentinker/screentinker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GitHub README</a>, and the <a href="/guides/self-hosted-digital-signage.html">self-hosted guide</a> walks through reverse proxy, TLS, and backups.</p>

<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<h3>Is ScreenTinker really free and open source?</h3>
<p>Yes. ScreenTinker is released under the MIT license, so the full source code is public and you can audit, fork, and extend it. Self-hosting is free with unlimited devices; the managed cloud has a free plan plus paid tiers if you prefer hosted convenience.</p>
<h3>Is SwiftDisplay really free and open source?</h3>
<p>Yes. SwiftDisplay is released under the MIT license, so the full source code is public and you can audit, fork, and extend it. Self-hosting is free with unlimited devices; the managed cloud has a free plan plus paid tiers if you prefer hosted convenience.</p>
<h3>What does the MIT license let me do?</h3>
<p>The MIT license lets you run, modify, and redistribute the software - including commercially - with essentially no restrictions beyond keeping the copyright notice. You can build custom widgets, integrate it into your own systems, and white-label it.</p>
<h3>Do I have to self-host to use open-source digital signage?</h3>
<p>No. Open source means the code is available if you want it, but you can still use ScreenTinker's managed cloud. Many teams start on the hosted free plan and self-host later once their screen count grows.</p>
<p>No. Open source means the code is available if you want it, but you can still use SwiftDisplay's managed cloud. Many teams start on the hosted free plan and self-host later once their screen count grows.</p>
<h3>Are all the player apps free?</h3>
<p>Yes. Android TV / Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Amazon Vega OS, Raspberry Pi, and the browser-based web player are all free on every platform, with no per-player license.</p>

<h2>How much does digital signage software cost?</h2>
<p>Pricing splits into two models. Closed cloud SaaS products bill per screen, typically $5-15/screen/month, which adds up quickly across a fleet. Open-source and self-hosted software can be free: with ScreenTinker you can self-host for free with unlimited devices, paying only for a small server (a $5 VPS runs hundreds of screens).</p>
<p>If you prefer managed hosting, ScreenTinker's cloud has a Free plan (1 device, 500MB), Starter at $39/mo (5 devices, 5GB), Pro at $99/mo (15 devices, 20GB, all features), and custom Enterprise pricing. Either way, all player apps are free.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. You need a screen and a player device. Almost any TV or monitor with HDMI works, and the player can be an inexpensive Android TV / Fire TV stick, a Raspberry Pi, a compatible Samsung or LG smart TV, or a Windows/ChromeOS device running the web player.</p>
<h3>Is there free digital signage software?</h3>

<h3>What's the difference between digital signage and a smart TV?</h3>
<p>A smart TV plays apps or a looping file on that one screen. Digital signage adds a central CMS that schedules content, manages many screens at once, synchronizes video walls, and reports device status - things a standalone smart TV cannot do.</p>

<h2>Step by step</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Open your design</strong> in Canva and click <strong>Share</strong> in the top-right.</li>
<li><strong>Choose Publish &rarr; Website</strong> (or the <strong>Embed</strong> option). For a multi-page design, pick a navigation style such as <em>Scroll</em> or a presentation layout so all pages are reachable.</li>
<li><strong>Publish the design</strong> and copy the public website link (or the <code>src</code> URL from the embed snippet). This is a public URL - <em>not</em> your normal edit link.</li>
<li><strong>In ScreenTinker, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Create or edit a playlist item and select the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>In SwiftDisplay, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Create or edit a playlist item and select the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>Paste the Canva public link</strong> into the URL field and save.</li>

<li><strong>Assign the playlist to a screen.</strong> The player loads the published design and displays it on the wall.</li>

<h1>How to put Google Slides on a digital signage screen</h1>
<p class="lead">ScreenTinker does not have a dedicated "Google Slides app" - and it does not need one. Google Slides can publish a deck to the web, and ScreenTinker's universal Webpage widget can display that published URL on any screen, auto-advancing through the slides on a loop.</p>
<p class="lead">SwiftDisplay does not have a dedicated "Google Slides app" - and it does not need one. Google Slides can publish a deck to the web, and SwiftDisplay's universal Webpage widget can display that published URL on any screen, auto-advancing through the slides on a loop.</p>
<h2>The short version</h2>
<p>In Google Slides, go to <strong>File &rarr; Share &rarr; Publish to web &rarr; Embed</strong>, set the auto-advance interval, and copy the published URL. In ScreenTinker, add a <strong>Webpage</strong> widget, paste that URL, drop the widget into a playlist, and assign the playlist to a screen. That is the whole integration.</p>

<h2>Step by step</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Open your deck</strong> in Google Slides and choose <strong>File &rarr; Share &rarr; Publish to web</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Switch to the "Embed" tab.</strong> Pick how fast slides should advance (for example, every 5 seconds) and tick <em>Auto-advance</em> and <em>Restart the slideshow after the last slide</em> so it loops forever.</li>
<li><strong>Click Publish</strong> and confirm. Copy the published URL from the embed snippet - it is the <code>src</code> value that looks like the one below, <em>not</em> your normal editing link.</li>
<li><strong>In ScreenTinker, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Open your dashboard, create or edit a playlist item, and choose the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>In SwiftDisplay, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Open your dashboard, create or edit a playlist item, and choose the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>Paste the published URL</strong> into the widget's URL field and save.</li>
<li><strong>Add the widget to a playlist</strong> and set its duration to at least one full loop of the deck.</li>
<li><strong>Assign the playlist to a screen.</strong> The player pulls the published deck and it starts advancing on the wall.</li>

<li><strong>The /present URL</strong> (ends in <code>/present</code>) is presenter mode and also blocks framing.</li>
<li><strong>The published URL</strong> from <em>Publish to web</em> (contains <code>/pub</code> or <code>/pubembed</code>) is the only one that permits embedding. Always use this one.</li>
</ul>
<p>The reason is <code>X-Frame-Options</code> / <code>frame-ancestors</code>: any page that sends those headers to deny framing cannot be shown in an iframe, and ScreenTinker's Webpage widget is an iframe. The published URL is served without that restriction specifically so it can be embedded. If your slides do not appear, the URL is almost always the cause.</p>

<h2>Auto-advance and refresh tips</h2>
<ul>

<li><strong>Give the playlist item enough time.</strong> Set the Webpage widget's on-screen duration to at least the length of one full loop so viewers see every slide.</li>
<li><strong>Content updates are automatic-ish.</strong> When you edit the source deck, Google re-publishes changes to the published URL within a short window (usually a few minutes), so the sign updates without touching ScreenTinker.</li>

<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<h3>Can ScreenTinker integrate with a specific app?</h3>
<h3>Can SwiftDisplay integrate with a specific app?</h3>
<p>If the app has a native widget above, use that. Otherwise: if the app can produce a public embed or "publish to web" URL that allows framing, then yes - add a Webpage widget and paste that URL. If the only URL the app offers denies framing, it cannot be embedded, and you would need a screenshot, export, or a native widget instead.</p>
<h3>What is the difference between a native widget and the Webpage widget?</h3>
<p>Native widgets are built into ScreenTinker and configured with a few fields in the dashboard; they render reliably on every player. The Webpage widget is a generic iframe - more flexible, since it can show almost any public page, but subject to the framing rules of the site you point it at.</p>

<h3>Do I need a paid plan to use integrations?</h3>
<p>No. Native widgets and the Webpage widget are available on the free plan and in self-hosted deployments. Plans differ by device count and storage, not by which widgets you can use.</p>

<h2>The short version</h2>
<p>In Power BI, use <strong>File &rarr; Embed report &rarr; Publish to web (public)</strong> to generate an embeddable URL, then add a <strong>Webpage</strong> widget in ScreenTinker, paste the URL, add it to a playlist, and assign it to a screen.

<h2>Step by step</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Open the report</strong> in the Power BI service (app.powerbi.com).</li>
<li><strong>Confirm the data is safe to make public.</strong> "Publish to web" exposes the report to anyone with the link - see the caveat below before continuing.</li>
<li><strong>Choose File &rarr; Embed report &rarr; Publish to web (public).</strong> Create the embed code and copy the <em>link</em> (the standalone URL, not just the <code>&lt;iframe&gt;</code> snippet).</li>
<li><strong>In ScreenTinker, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Create or edit a playlist item and select the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>In SwiftDisplay, add a Webpage widget.</strong> Create or edit a playlist item and select the <strong>Webpage</strong> widget type.</li>
<li><strong>Paste the Publish-to-web URL</strong> into the widget's URL field and save.</li>
<li><strong>Add the widget to a playlist</strong> and set a comfortable on-screen duration.</li>
<li><strong>Assign the playlist to a screen.</strong> The player loads the report and it refreshes on its own schedule.</li>
@ -80,15 +80,15 @@
<li><strong>Publish to web (public)</strong> produces a URL (<code>app.powerbi.com/view?r=...</code>) that anyone can open with no login and that is allowed to be framed. This is the one that works on signage.</li>
<li><strong>Embed (for your organization)</strong> requires each viewer to sign in with a Microsoft Entra / Azure AD account. A signage player has no one to complete that login, so this path generally will <em>not</em> display on an unattended screen - it will show a sign-in wall instead.</li>
</ul>
<p>The underlying reason is the same as every embed: pages that send <code>X-Frame-Options</code> / <code>frame-ancestors</code> to deny framing, or that demand authentication, cannot render in ScreenTinker's Webpage widget (it is an iframe). Publish-to-web is served specifically to be publicly embeddable; the org embed and the normal report URL are not.</p>

<p>This matters, so it gets its own section. <strong>"Publish to web" exposes your report and its underlying data to anyone who has the link - no authentication, no row-level security, indexable by search engines in some cases.</strong> Do not use it for confidential, personal, financial, or otherwise sensitive data. Many organizations disable Publish to web in the Power BI admin portal for exactly this reason.</p>
<p>If the dashboard contains anything private, do not put it on a public URL. The safer pattern for confidential dashboards is to <a href="/guides/self-hosted-digital-signage.html">self-host ScreenTinker on a trusted LAN</a> and point the Webpage widget at an internal, network-restricted dashboard URL that never leaves your network. Reserve Publish to web for genuinely public metrics - marketing stats, public KPIs, community dashboards, and the like.</p>

<h2>Auto-refresh tips</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Refresh is driven by Power BI, not ScreenTinker.</strong> A Publish-to-web report updates on Power BI's cached schedule (typically about hourly, and roughly every few minutes for visuals in an open view). Design expectations around that cadence rather than expecting real-time.</li>

<li><strong>Match your dataset refresh schedule.</strong> The screen can only be as fresh as the dataset behind it, so set the dataset's scheduled refresh to the fastest cadence your source and license allow.</li>
<li><strong>Reload periodically if needed.</strong> For long-running displays, rotating the report through a playlist (so the widget reloads on each cycle) helps ensure the latest cached view is fetched.</li>
<li><strong>Design for the wall.</strong> Build a report page sized for your display and hide slicers/filters the audience cannot interact with, so the unattended view stays clean.</li>

<h2>The short version</h2>
<p>The RSS widget is built in - no plugins or embeds. You give it a feed URL like <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code> and it pulls the latest items and renders the headlines on screen. Because it is a configurable widget, you can add it to playlists and layouts, and it can share a multi-zone layout with your main content so headlines run alongside images or video.</p>

<li>Open the <strong>Content Library</strong> (or the layout editor) in your SwiftDisplay dashboard.</li>
<li>Add the <strong>RSS</strong> widget.</li>
<li>Configure it with your feed URL, for example <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code>. The widget fetches the feed and renders the current headlines.</li>

<h2>The short version</h2>
<p>ScreenTinker has a native YouTube widget, so you do not need to download videos or wire up a browser workaround. In the Content Library you choose <strong>Add YouTube</strong>, paste the video URL, give it a name, and it becomes a library item you can drop into any playlist, schedule, and assign to screens. On the display it plays muted (browser autoplay policy) using YouTube's iframe player.</p>

<li>Open the <strong>Content Library</strong> in your SwiftDisplay dashboard.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add YouTube</strong> and paste the YouTube video URL (for example <code>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...</code>).</li>
<li>Give the item a name so you can find it later - something like "Brand reel" or "Product loop."</li>
<li>Save it. The video now appears in your library alongside images and uploaded video. The dashboard preview plays it muted so autoplay works.</li>
