Your TV, turned into a digital menu board that looks designed.
Open a link on the TV, pair it from your phone, and it plays. Say what you want on it and the AI draws the whole board: your photos, your colours, your rates, all changed from that same phone. Your first screen is free for ever : one TV, 50 AI credits a month, no card.
No box to buy · set it up yourself · your own changes are unlimited
Before you sign up
Or just say what your TV should show.
Type it in plain words and it draws the screen right here, before you make an account.

Describe your screen. I'll design a slide, then sign you in to build the rest.
This is what it looks like on a Tuesday.
Every board below is drawn by the same renderer your TV runs. Nothing here is a mock-up.

People run ChannelOS screens in cafés and restaurants, gyms and studios, clinics and waiting rooms, schools and colleges, events, hotels and shops. One TV or one standee is enough to start.
Never heard of digital signage? It is simpler than the name.
A digital sign is a television showing something useful instead of a channel. A menu. A price list. Today's offer. The class timetable. Whatever the people in that room need to read.
The software's only job is to let you change what is on that television without walking over to it. You change it on your phone, the television changes. That is the entire category.
Most companies who sell this will also sell you a small box to plug into the television, because that box is how their software gets onto the screen. ChannelOS does not need one. The television already has a web browser, and that browser is the player.
If you have a TV and wifi, you have everything.
Setting it up
There is no step two.
Every other signage company's setup guide has the same middle step: buy a player. A streaming stick, an Android box, a Raspberry Pi, their own branded one. It is a real cost, and it is also the reason the whole thing starts to feel like an IT project.

On the TV, open play.channelos.tv
Type it into the television's own web browser, the same way you would open any website. A six-digit code appears on the screen.
- 2
On your phone, type the code
That television is now yours to control. Whatever you put on it appears there, and stays there, and changes when you change it.
That is it. Nothing to buy, nothing to mount, nothing to wire, and nobody has to come to your shop. If you would rather install something, our Android TV app does the same job, and it is still the same free screen either way.

If your television is not a smart one, an old streaming stick or a laptop you already have will drive it, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something.
When a box is the right answer
A screen that is already playing keeps playing if the wifi drops, but it needs the connection back to come up again after a power cut, because nothing is cached on the television itself. If a screen has to survive a long outage entirely on its own, buy a player from a company that sells one and ask them about local storage. That is a real reason to pay for hardware. Ours is not one of them.
Why a screen earns its place
The hard part was never the schedule. It's getting noticed.
A screen only pays off the second someone looks up. Your job isn't queuing content — it's stopping the person walking past and showing them what you serve. ChannelOS makes that screen impossible to ignore.
-
Stop real life mid-stride
A bright, moving screen catches an eye where a printed poster never will — the passer-by looks up.
-
Show what you serve
Today's special, the new drop, the reason to stay — the thing you actually want seen, not static wallpaper.
-
Right message, right moment
It shifts through the day on its own — breakfast at 8, happy hour at 6 — so the screen always fits the room.
And the thing you wanted to say today never made it onto a wall at all.
One board says the coffee is 180, the one by the door still says 160, and someone is at the counter holding you to the lower number. The poster you had printed went out of date the week it went up. And the thing you actually wanted to tell people today, the new dish, the 6pm offer, the fact that you now deliver, never made it onto a wall at all. Because changing it meant a trip, a designer, and two days.
A screen fixes that only if changing it takes ten seconds from your phone. That is the entire job ChannelOS does.
Making what goes on it
Type it. It draws it. Then it keeps it right.
Most people who need a screen are not designers, and that, not the technology, is where this usually stalls. So you do not start with a blank canvas. Say what the screen is for in one sentence and every slide is drafted for you, in about a minute, in your colours.
Then it stays. When the price changes you say so in plain words and it edits the screen that is already on the wall. Other tools that offer AI draft a slide once and hand you an editor. This one is still there in six months.
-
Create by describing
Say what the business is; every slide drafts itself, on-brand — no prompt-craft, no blank canvas.
-
Update in plain words
Swap the special, drop a price, restyle a slide — ask, and the AI edits the live show for you.
-
Maintain, not babysit
Canva and Yodeck generate a slide once and leave you to it. Here the AI keeps the show current — the whole way through.
How it works
Three steps, start to on the wall.
Pair a screen, make what goes on it, put it live. That is the whole product. Watch someone do all three.
The whole thing, unedited: sign up, build a show, say when it airs, pair a TV — then change four screens at once. Open on YouTube ↗
- CH 01
Pair
Open play.channelos.tv on the TV — it shows a code and QR. Scan it from your phone and the screen is yours. No installs, no account on the TV.
- CH 02
Build
Describe the show and AI drafts every slide — or fine-tune it in the Canva-style editor. Pull in images, video, PDFs, even a webpage.
- CH 03 Live
Publish
Push it to any screen instantly, or schedule it on a channel. Edit once — it airs everywhere. No re-publishing, no waiting.
