Build with Screenly

Developers Four ways to drive Screenly from code: the API, the CLI, the MCP server, and edge apps you build yourself.
IT requirements What Screenly needs from your infrastructure: the hostnames and ports screens use, outbound only, the browser the dashboard runs in, and how much traffic to expect. For the people who run the network and the desktops rather than the screens.
Screenly players The hardware we build and support: the Raspberry Pi based Screenly Player, and the Player Max line.
Screenly Anywhere Run Screenly on hardware you already own: a commercial display, a browser, an Android device, a Fire TV, or a streaming stick.
ScreenlyOS Our own operating system for digital signage: what it is, how to get a device running it, and what it does that a general-purpose system cannot.
Plans and billing How Screenly charges, what a license is, and running a subscription: changing it, paying for it, and cancelling it.
Integrations Connections Screenly holds on your behalf, for three different jobs: feeding data to apps, sending alerts to your tools, and putting screens on your network.
Your account How you sign in, the passkeys and second factors that protect your account, and what to do when nobody can get in.
Workspaces The container for your screens, content, and members. Who can do what, how to invite and remove members, and how workspaces relate to each other.
Apps Ready-made, self-updating content: dashboards, calendars, news, clocks. How to set one up, where it runs, and how it keeps credentials safe.
Scheduling Decide when a playlist plays: dates, times of day, days of week, evaluated in each screen's own local time.
Labels The tag that connects screens to playlists. How they work, how to use them well, and the naming schemes that survive a growing fleet.
Playlists Build a rotation, decide how long each item holds the screen, choose where it plays, and control what happens when several playlists want the same screen.
Content Everything you can put on a screen: what Screenly accepts, how to add it, how to keep a library tidy, and how each type behaves.
Screens Connect a screen, configure the display, watch its health, and run a fleet without visiting it.
Get started Set up Screenly digital signage: sign up, connect a screen you already own, and manage what it plays from one dashboard. About fifteen minutes from nothing to a screen playing your content.
