Open-source digital signage management software. Control content on TVs, displays, and kiosks from anywhere.
Saved setup from 11 h ago
Will it work on macOS?
Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, BrightSign, and any device with a web browser. Roku has limits a sign owner should read first: see the Roku guide.
Anything with a reasonably modern browser can be a display without installing anything: point it at
/player. The native players add what a browser cannot: the Android APK gives you unattended boot,
OTA self-update, remote power and touch injection, and a content cache that survives a reboot; the
Tizen .wgt gives you an installed app that launches itself on the TV. Tizen does not
self-update — new versions are installed the same way the first one was. The webOS .ipk
is the same idea for LG signage panels, installed from USB or an SI server with no vendor
signature, and it does self-update; see docs/webos-player.md. The
Vega .vpkg is the player for Fire TV Stick 4K Select and Fire TV Stick HD (2026), which are
not Android — the APK will not install. It runs the web player inside Vega's WebView. It is not
a kiosk and it has not been certified on hardware; see docs/vega-player.md.
BrightSign runs the unmodified browser player (verified on Series 5 / Chromium 120) and needs no separate build. One caveat worth knowing before you rely on it: BrightSign's HTML widget does not always survive the page reload the player performs when you deploy new content, and may need a restart to come back. Treat it as working but less hands-off than the native players.
Heads-upBuilding it yourself? It also needs 2 settings in .env.
This app runs on the device, not on your macOS computer. Download it, then install it from the computer with adb (turn on ADB debugging in the device's Developer Options first).
adb connect <device-ip>:5555 adb install -r "ScreenTinker.apk"
Your macOS computer only needs the tools from the source setup. There are apps for Linux.
