Self-hosted digital signage · coming soon

Screens that just play, even when nothing else is on the network.

Screenbase runs your own signage from a single small server. Build a playlist once, and every screen keeps playing it, on schedule, through drop-outs, reboots and Monday mornings.

one server, any number of these
Features

Built for screens nobody wants to babysit

Every design choice serves one goal: a screen that recovers on its own, so nobody has to walk over and reboot it.

01

Playlists & scheduling

Arrange content into playlists, set day and time rules, and let the schedule run itself in the background.

02

Instant overlays

Push a message straight over whatever's already playing, for the canteen closing early or a fixture change.

03

Resilient playback

Screens keep playing the last known playlist through a network drop, and catch back up the moment it returns.

How it works

One server, many screens, no per-screen fuss

Content lives in one place. Every screen is a lightweight node that just pulls and plays.

Server

Manage content

Upload media, build playlists, set schedules from one dashboard.

Sync

Screens check in

Each display node polls the server and pulls down whatever's changed.

Display

Content plays

Playback continues locally, so a dropped connection is never a blank screen.

Hardware

Runs on the small computers you already have lying around

No proprietary boxes. Screenbase is designed around commodity single-board computers.

Server

Any small always-on box

Holds your media library and pushes updates to every screen on the network.

Display node

Budget-friendly boards

Handles full-screen video and overlays without needing to be powerful.

Display node

Newer boards

Same software, more headroom, for higher-resolution or busier screens.

Coming soon

Screenbase is still warming up.

The server's running, the screens are synced, and the rest of the project is on its way.
