About ChannelOS
ChannelOS makes any TV a managed sign in two minutes — pair from a phone, let AI build the show, run the whole wall from one live board. We're the anti-Yodeck: all the power, none of the climb.
Digital signage tools are genuinely powerful — and they ask for a weekend of setup before a single screen lights up. Provision a device, license a player, build a media library, wire up playlists, layouts, zones, user roles. Most people don't want a content-management system. They want "put this on that screen, now."
So we threw away the order of operations, not the power. ChannelOS is digital signage collapsed to three verbs — Pair, Build, Publish — that a shop owner, café manager or clinic receptionist can run from their phone, with no AV team and no app on the TV.
The TV runs a web page, so there's no media-player box to buy. AI drafts a whole multi-slide show from a sentence, so there's no blank canvas. And what a screen shows is derived from a live schedule, so one edit reaches every screen at once. Underneath the calm, the capable parts — channels, dayparting, live takeover, background removal, export/import — are all there the moment you reach for them.
Six principles behind every screen ChannelOS runs.
A first-timer should publish before they ever meet a 'media library'. The power stays out of the way until you reach for it.
You shouldn't need a designer to put a clear message on a screen. Describe it; AI drafts the show; the editor is your fallback, not your starting line.
No dedicated media-player box, no app to sideload, no per-device license. If it renders a web page, it can be a ChannelOS screen.
What's on a screen is derived from the show and the schedule — never pushed file by file. One edit reaches the whole wall in real time.
100% MIT / OFL dependencies. Pack a whole show — slides, media, fonts — into one file and move it anywhere. No lock-in.
Realtime control runs on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, so the board and the screens never drift and actions land in milliseconds.
Open the player on a TV, scan the code, publish a show. Your first screen is free.
