Signage Sync

Turn your iOS device into digital signage. Menus and promos in the cafe, dashboards in the office, notices in the school lobbyβpushed 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Screenbird at every 5 days against Signage Sync's every 2 weeks. Signage Sync's advantage is device support (5 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
