Quickesign is a digital signage CMS built with Apple TV as a first-class platform. It runs on Apple TV 4K (all generations) and Apple TV HD, and delivers the complete feature set on tvOS: live weather, Instagram and Facebook feeds, YouTube video, smart QR codes, and multi-zone layouts.
Plans start at $5 per screen per month billed annually, with a free trial and no credit card required. Apple TV 4K hardware starts at $129, a one-time purchase. Quickesign also includes a free TV Control companion app for Windows, Android, and iOS that monitors your displays and alerts you if a screen goes offline.
Apple TV is a premium, reliable platform for commercial digital signage. Apple TV 4K runs on Apple's A-series chip and receives software updates for 5+ years. It is built for demanding, always-on workloads in a way that cheap streaming sticks simply are not.
The hardware is fanless and designed to run continuously without overheating. Apple TV also benefits from long OS support cycles and predictable, managed updates, which means fewer unexpected disruptions in a commercial setting.
Quickesign on Apple TV is used by restaurants, corporate offices, healthcare practices, churches, schools, hotels, gyms, and more.
Put your menu on any TV and update it from your phone.
A clean, professional display for your lobby or reception area. No extra hardware required.
Give patients something useful to look at while they wait.

You can go from zero to a live digital sign in under 30 minutes.
Apple TV 4K (any generation) or Apple TV HD works. Available at Apple.com, Amazon, Best Buy, and most electronics retailers. Apple TV 4K starts at $129.

Quickesign also has the lowest entry price at $5/screen/month and includes a free TV Control companion app for monitoring your displays remotely.
