A free OptiSigns alternative with no logo on your screens

For most shops, screenRIG is the better and cheaper choice than OptiSigns: it is free, your screens show only your content, and your agent does the work. OptiSigns' free plan covers up to 3 screens, with the OptiSigns logo on them. We make screenRIG, so each OptiSigns fact links to OptiSigns' own page.

  1. You

    Make the counter board for Linden Coffee: hot drink prices on the left, today's soup top right, what the bakery has left bottom right, a clock in the header and the milk and refill notice at the foot. Mark the almond bar sold out when it goes.

  2. Agent

    Done. One page, five parts: the café name and clock on top, hot drink prices on the left, the soup top right, the bakery list bottom right and the milk notice along the foot. It's on the counter TV, and I checked the screen.

One page, five parts

OptiSigns builds split screens in its Designer, where the Split Screen app divides a screen into zones. On screenRIG you describe the layout and your agent places each part.

The chat above is a real session on a test screen, run on 27 October 2026. The café and its prices are made up. Later the bakery runs out of almond bars:

  1. You

    The almond bars are gone.

  2. Agent

    Marked sold out. The bakery list on the screen changed in place, and I didn't need to publish anything again.

A blue counter board: header with clock, hot drink prices, soup of the day, a bakes list with the almond bar sold out, and a milk notice in the footer.
The counter board after the almond bar was marked sold out. The header and footer run the full width, and the other three parts sit where you asked.

Each has a screenRIG Player on Downloads, and the Player web app opens in any modern browser. On a Raspberry Pi, the Player needs a Pi 4 or 5 with 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.

Moving over from OptiSigns

Tell your agent what to rebuild:

  1. You

    Rebuild our OptiSigns screens here. I'm sending the original files, and a screenshot of each layout from the Designer.

  2. Agent

    Thanks. I'll upload the files, rebuild each layout from your screenshots as one page of ready-made parts, and put the right playlist on each screen. Then I'll send you a screenshot of every screen to check against the old ones.

  • Download your files first. OptiSigns' help center says to download a copy of your information, such as images and Designer assets, before you delete an account.
  • End the OptiSigns plan last, after a screenshot of each screen matches what it ran.
