Dawnboard turns your Apple TV into a dashboard for the things you want to keep in view. Set it up on your iPhone, then send changes to the TV over your local network. Dawnboard is free to use. Layouts and themes Choose from twelve layouts, including original and flipped Gallery Hero, Quad Square and Mixed Gallery arrangements, Centered Hero, Double Landscape, Double Square, Triple Portrait, Cinematic and Ambient. Fill compatible Layout slots with widgets. Dawnboard includes animated themes that play as 4K video on Apple TV: New Dawn, Twilight, Ocean Breeze, Aurora, Outer Space, Enchanted Mist, Underwater Kingdom, Winter Wonder, Golden Hour, Valentine, Tiki Paradise, Moss Cathedral, River Canyon, Moss & Rain, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Spring Blossoms, Fall, Halloween, and Mountain Pass. Mountain Pass follows the weather location chosen for its Layout. Main Street has Day, Golden Hour, Dusk, and Night scenes; choose a fixed time or let the Layout select automatically. Weather Effects can be set for each Layout. You can also make a theme with a nine-color gradient. Display styles Choose Classic, Cozy, Weather, Day Planner, Countdown, or Minimal to control what appears in the header and footer. Widgets Add countdowns, calendar events, weather, lists, photo albums, notes, Tidbits, or an Apple Music playlist to any compatible slot. Notes and Tidbits Leave a note on the TV with an optional sign-off, set to disappear at a time you choose. Tidbits shows a new word with its definition and an example sentence, or On This Day, a moment from history on its anniversary. Choose how often it changes and hide topics you'd rather skip. Layout schedules Give each Apple TV a schedule of layouts by time of day and weekday. The TV switches on its own, even when your iPhone is away. Calendar Import events from Apple Calendar on your iPhone. Eight agenda and month views preserve your calendar colors, and you can choose whether to show locations and past events. Photos An album can hold up to 50 images. Vision-based auto-cropping handles landscape, portrait, square, and cinematic formats, with a separate crop for each format. Albums play as a crossfade slideshow on the TV. Countdowns Create a countdown with up to 10 photos. Dawnboard can send a daily reminder and another reminder on the day before the event. Effects Use Quick Effects on iPhone to play Confetti, Fireworks, Sparkles, Shooting Stars, Lanterns, Bubbles, Balloons, Butterflies, Petal Breeze, Snow Magic, Parade Lights or Magic Spell. Surprise chooses an available one-shot Effect. Each TV plays one show at a time. Pixie can drift across the screen alongside a show until you turn it off. Apple Music Assign a playlist to each paired Apple TV and control playback from the TV remote. Pairing and sync Scan the QR code on the TV to pair it with your iPhone. Changes are sent over your local Wi-Fi network. You can manage more than one TV and give each one a different layout and theme. Privacy Dawnboard does not require a separate account and does not contain ads. The iPhone app stores your Dawnboard content in your private iCloud account. Paired Apple TVs keep a local copy of the dashboard. Local network sync is encrypted. The iPhone and Apple TV can use different iCloud accounts.
