On This Day

A full-screen historical moment for digital signage: one notable event from this day in history, drawn live from Wikipedia, with an offline fallback so the screen is never blank.

Today in history, on your screen

Already running something else? These apps work there too. Each one is a standard web page, so it plays on BrightSign players, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS displays, Android and Amazon Fire TV devices, and on digital signage platforms such as Yodeck, ScreenCloud, OptiSigns, Xibo, Rise Vision and TelemetryTV. If your player can show a URL, it can run these apps.
