Here you can find all the details on building and deploying your own App to your account.
Custom Apps are the standard way to customize your Player. You can code your own App using HTML5 and Javascript or using our Scripting Engine and provide completely customized behavior.
Proceed to read the Introduction to Custom Apps to understand your options better for your screens.
Account and Player
To fully test an App, you will need a standard Account and a fully working Player (based on Raspberry Pi 3 or 4).
Introduction to Custom Apps
Custom Apps allow you to create your own small applications or automated online web pages and publish this as a App within your Account.
To do this, there are several options and technologies that you can use. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and you should investigate which better fits your case.
Web App
- A Web app is based on an online web page (a URL) and uses our scripting engine to automate and modify that web page.
- Some examples that we already provide are Baremetrics, ChartMogul, Google Calendar, Google Analytics, and Instagram apps.
- These apps load up a web page from the respective service, they log in, then navigate to the selected page and show the data you need.

HTML App
- An HTML app is based on a ZIP package with HTML files that you upload to your account. This package is then unzipped inside the Players and is displayed locally.
