Xibo Signage Ltd
Xibo
Open source signage you can run on your own server or buy hosted.
- Open source
- Free tier
- Self-host
Xibo is one of the longest-running open source signage platforms, and it is unusual in publishing what it will keep open: the CMS core stays on GitHub under the AGPLv3, and the Windows and Linux player apps stay open source with no licensing cost. The Android, Tizen, webOS and ChromeOS players are the commercial side of the same product, which is the trade to understand before choosing hardware. Either way you can self-host the CMS or buy cloud hosting from the same company.
Capabilities
- Scheduling and dayparting
