Turn your iOS device into digital signage. Menus and promos in the cafe, dashboards in the office, notices in the school lobbyβ€”pushed from your phone or laptop in seconds. No media box to buy. == WHO IT'S FOR == * Cafes, shops and small chains: menu boards, price lists and this week's promo, the same on every outlet's screen, updated from head office. * Offices and startups: the sales or support dashboard on the wall, auto-refreshed so nobody asks for the latest numbers. * Schools and campuses: timetables, exam schedules and announcements on the lobby TV, updated from the admin desk. * Also at home in corporate lobbies, clinic waiting rooms, event halls and warehouse floors. == WHAT YOU CAN SHOW == * Any web page: an analytics dashboard, a slide deck, a Notion page, a queue board. Auto-refresh on a timer so the numbers never go stale. * Images and video: JPG, PNG and GIF posters, MP4 and WebM video up to 500 MB per file. Upload once, loop forever. * Live streams: HLS, DASH, RTMP and RTSP straight to the screen. * Playlists: sequence items with per-item timing and fade or wipe transitions, then assign the playlist to one screen or a whole group. == BUILT TO BE LEFT ALONE == * Live push: changes land on the screen in seconds. No refresh button, no app restart. * Synchronized groups: grouped screens play in lockstep, even after a reconnect. * Remote control: step any screen or group forward or back from your phone or the dashboard. * Survives real life: after a power cut, the app boots straight back into signage. If the internet drops, it keeps playing the playlist it already has. * Stays put: keeps the display awake and hides the system bars. * See what is on air from the dashboard, and mute or set the volume of any screen. * Know when a screen goes quiet: online status at a glance, plus an email if a screen has been offline for two days. * Pick your region: realtime traffic runs from Southeast Asia by default, with Northeast Asia, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Oceania options. Signage Sync is made by PT Momenial Open Media, building software since 2022. The same account also works on macOS, smart TVs, and other platforms.
