Slides to TV
IT'S NOT SIGNAGE. IT'S HELP.

Everything your TVs need, in one simple place.

This is the whole product — laid out around the questions people actually ask us before they sign, not around our feature list. Every answer below is included: no add-on fees, no upgrade tiers for the good stuff, nothing held back for a bigger plan.

We test everything on the least technical person in the building, not the most. If your least technical person can't use it, we consider it broken.
"WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THESE?"

Nobody on your staff is a designer. That stopped being the reason your screens sit still.

Every other signage company hands you an empty canvas and wishes you luck. That's why most screens end up playing the same four slides from 2023. Here you answer a few plain questions — what, when, where — and the AI builds the whole thing: artwork, layout, words placed right. The slide gets made because making it stopped being a project.

  • Guided choices for the everyday stuff — events, menus & specials, entertainment lineups, staff shout-outs. Each kind of slide asks only the questions it needs.
  • Snap a photo of a paper flyer — the AI reads it and fills everything in.
  • Already have slides in PowerPoint? Save the deck as a PDF and upload it once — every page becomes a slide, and re-uploading updates them in place, keeping their schedule and screens.
  • Reuse artwork you've already made, or regenerate just the picture and keep the wording.
  • Classic templates and your own artwork work too — AI is a choice, not a requirement.
😊 Ease built in: big buttons, plain words, no design skills — a finished slide in about a minute.

"WHO'S WATCHING WHAT GOES UP?"

Last month's flyer is still playing and nobody has noticed. That's the part this fixes.

Screens go stale because keeping them current is somebody's fourth priority. So the system carries it instead: everything your organization has ever made lives in one place, nothing reaches a TV until the right person says so, and slides start and retire on the calendar you set rather than on somebody remembering.

  • The Library — reopen any slide to fix a date or regenerate the art, duplicate last month's and change what's different, swap the picture while keeping the wording, category and play history. Your filters stay put instead of resetting after every edit.
  • Approvals — staff and volunteers make slides; nothing plays until an approver says so. Send one back with a note and it returns to its maker. Or let trusted people post directly — every organization sets its own rule.
  • Scheduling that thinks in calendars — exact dates, certain days of the week, "the second Friday of the month," breakfast-only or after-four. Slides retire themselves when they're done.
  • Weather-aware slides — the patio special only plays when it's actually nice out.
  • Screen groups — the bar TVs play bar things, the dining room plays menus, and new slides route to the right screens by category automatically.
  • The message bar — type "Today's soup…" on your phone and it scrolls across the bottom of every TV within minutes, over your slides, without touching them. Schedule it, choose which screens carry it, make the big news shout in large letters. It takes itself down at midnight.
  • One red button takes a slide off every screen at once.
😊 Ease built in: the nav shows a badge when something's waiting, reordering is arrows or a position number — no fiddly drag-and-drop — and approving takes one tap.

"WHAT DO I HAVE TO BUY?"

Nothing you don't already own — or about twenty dollars.

This is where signage quotes usually turn into a capital expense: their panels, their players, their installer, their service call. Yours are already hanging on the wall. Pair one with a short code and it starts playing.

  • Our player on Google Play — put it on a cheap streaming stick, type the code, done.
  • Any smart TV with a browser works too — no app store needed.
  • BrightSign players supported for sites that already have them.
  • It survives the room it lives in — restarts itself after a power cut and keeps playing straight through an internet outage, then catches up when the connection comes back.
  • Live status, in play order — see which screens are online and what each one is showing right now, from your phone, from anywhere.
  • Portrait screens for the vertical TV by the door (early access), and zone-level transitions so slides change the way you want them to.
  • Clock and local weather in the corner — the two things everyone glances at a screen for. Set your ZIP code once.
😊 Ease built in: green dot = online. If you can read a traffic light, you can run your screens.

"CAN YOU PROVE IT RAN?"

“It was up all month.” Says who?

Sooner or later somebody asks — an inspector, a board, a franchise auditor, a sponsor who just wrote you a check. Most signage plays your content and forgets it, so the honest answer is "I think so." Ours counts automatically, on every screen, whether anyone remembered to check or not. That's the difference between a TV and evidence.

What a report answers

  1. Did it actually run?
  2. How many times — per slide, per day.
  3. For how long — total screen time, not just a play count.
  4. On which screens — broken out by TV and by group.
  5. Who made it and who approved it — on every single slide.
  • Counted even while a TV was offline. The player keeps its own tally through an outage and hands it over when it reconnects — a dropped connection doesn't become a hole in your record.
  • Any date range, or the three quick-picks: 7 days, 30 days, last month.
  • A clean PDF to print or forward, or a spreadsheet if you'd rather work the numbers.
  • Advertiser one-pagers — hand each sponsor their own month with a day-by-day chart.
  • The monthly email files itself. Turn it on once and last month's report shows up without anyone remembering to run it.
  • Locked approved wording — the words legal signed off on can't quietly change after the fact, so the record and the screen always agree.

"WILL IT LOOK LIKE US?"

Your place has a name, a crest, and its own way of doing things. So should your screens.

Nearly everything your people see is yours to set — from the dashboard, in plain words. No support ticket, no change order, no professional-services invoice.

🎨 Your branding

Set your colors and look once and they carry across the app and the slides your people build.

🎖️ Your logos & emblems

Upload the crest, the unit emblem, the sponsor's mark — they drop onto slides where they belong.

🖼️ Your own backgrounds

Upload your artwork and drag a box over the open space where words should go. Every slide built on it lands the text in exactly the right place — no more words across someone's face.

🗂️ Your categories

Name the kinds of slides your place actually makes — Kitchen Announcements, Queen of Hearts, Entertainment — and give each one its own short form to fill in.

👨‍👩‍👧 Your groups & roles

Kitchen, Lounge, Auxiliary, Riders. Each group only makes the slide types you allow, and a member's role can fill itself in so they never pick from a list they don't understand.

👁️ Who sees what

Choose who can set up screens, hide Import and Reports from admins, keep owner-only things owner-only. Every organization draws the line in a different place.

🏢 A menu that fits your kind of place

Tell it whether you're a restaurant or a Legion/VFW post and the app declutters itself to match — different starter categories, fewer knobs, nothing you'd never use.

📊 Your monthly report

On or off, to whichever inbox should get it, with your date window.

📍 Your location

One ZIP code drives the weather in the corner of your screens and the weather conditions your slides can be scheduled against.

It teaches itself, too

New organizations get an onboarding checklist that only lists steps they can actually act on, and a Help page that documents your setup — not a generic manual full of features you don't have turned on.

WHAT IT'S FOR

What all of it does for you

Features are the means. These are the ends.

💵 Generate revenue

Sell ad slots on your TVs to local businesses, and hand each advertiser monthly proof their ad ran. A few slots can pay for the whole service — and then some.
