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.
