Ready-made screens you fill in rather than build: menu boards, meeting room signs, KPI tiles, leaderboards, Wi-Fi QR codes, world clocks and more. Connect one to a Google Sheet, an API, an RSS feed or a calendar and it keeps itself up to date.
New templates are published to the signed catalog all the time, and every ScreenTinker server picks them up on its own, with no upgrade needed. This page shows the catalog as it is today.
A launch-screen countdown for a conference, opening or product launch: the event name, a tagline and the date and venue, a big live countdown that switches to your own message when the moment arrives, and an optional ticket or RSVP QR code.
Your guest network name and password, large and legible, next to a QR code that joins the network in one scan — with the special characters in names and passwords escaped correctly, so the code actually connects. Made for hotels, cafés, clinics and offices; works as a full screen, a portrait poster or a thin strip. Nothing is fetched: the code is drawn on the screen.
Big, glanceable metric tiles with progress to target and a coloured change indicator. Feed it a Google Sheet, CSV, REST API or manual table (columns Metric, Value, Target, Unit, Change), or type the metrics in. Fits 1 to 12 tiles in any screen shape.
A ranked leaderboard for sales teams, fundraisers, step challenges or game nights: a gold, silver and bronze podium for the top three and animated bars for everyone else. Type the scores in or connect a Google Sheet and let the board keep itself up to date.
A calm welcome screen for a reception or lobby: your logo, a headline and a line of detail, with a live clock and date in the building's own timezone and language.
A door sign for a meeting room: a huge green AVAILABLE or red BUSY band, the current and next meeting, and today's agenda, from any Calendar (iCal) data source. Privacy mode shows "Reserved" instead of titles. Made for a portrait panel beside the door, and works landscape or as a strip too.
A café, restaurant or bar menu that lays itself out: items grouped by category, prices aligned, tags like V or New, sold-out items greyed. Type the menu in, or connect a Google Sheet or a Manual table and edit prices without touching the screen.
Your own headlines as a rotating feature plus a smooth scrolling ticker. Full screen it shows both; placed in a thin strip zone it becomes a ticker bar on its own. Works fully offline — the headlines are typed in, nothing is fetched.
A magazine-style news wall for any RSS or Atom feed: a large featured story that rotates every few seconds, the next four stories as cards, the feed's title and relative dates. Typographic by design (no remote images), so it works offline. Or type your own headlines.
An original first-person arcade shooter about the worst on-call shift of the year 3036: every server is down and the datacenter is crawling with bugs. Nobody playing? It plays itself in autopilot demo mode. Click or press a key to take over; walk away and the demo takes back over.
A full-screen animated weather scene: the sky, rain, snow or sun follow the current conditions, with a five-day forecast and temperature ranges. Reads one of your Weather data sources; your server fetches the weather, so this template needs no network access at all.
Current conditions and a five-day forecast from one of your Weather data sources. Your server fetches the weather itself; the template only lays it out.
Two to eight live clocks for the cities you work with — analog, digital or both, with the date, a day/night cue and the hour difference from this screen. Lays itself out as a grid, a portrait list or a thin strip. Nothing is fetched: the times come from the screen's own clock.
Every template comes with a form: a headline, a logo, colours, the cities for a world clock, the network name and password for a Wi-Fi sign. Slide templates are layouts with no code in them. Code templates are small web apps (animated weather, a leaderboard with moving bars, an arcade game). Both go into playlists, layouts and schedules like any other content.
Templates read from ScreenTinker's built-in data sources: Google Sheets, CSV files, REST/JSON APIs, RSS and Atom feeds, iCal calendars (Google, Outlook/Exchange or any .ics link), weather, or a table you type in. Your server fetches each source on a schedule and fills the values into the template, so the screen never calls the API itself. API keys stay on the server and never reach a screen. A Google Sheet needs no Google account or API key: share it as "anyone with the link", or publish it to the web.
A template's code, fonts and images are packed into the page itself, and players cache what they play. If the network drops, the screen keeps showing the last data it had until the connection comes back.
The official catalog is signed, and your server checks every package against that signature before installing it. A code template runs in a sandbox: it can't see your dashboard or your account, and it can reach only the internet hosts it declared, which for most templates is none. If we ever withdraw a version, every server that checks the catalog withdraws it too.
The library is included with self-hosted ScreenTinker. It is switched off until a platform admin turns it on, and air-gapped sites can import the catalog as a signed offline bundle instead. You can also import your own templates, or contribute one to the catalog.
No. Templates and data sources are on every plan, including the free plan, and in self-hosted deployments. Plans differ by screen count and storage.
Each template has the fields its author exposed. For a custom layout, start from a blank slide with live data tags, or write your own code template and import it.
