A little display. A lot of personality.

• 

  Clock

  Time and date, with a seconds bar creeping along the bottom edge so you always know it's alive. 12- or 24-hour, your call — the only setting that really matters is your time zone.

• 

  Horoscope

  Your sign's reading for the day, with its full-color icon and name underneath — pulled daily from a free horoscope feed, no sign-in needed. All twelve signs get the same treatment; here are three.

• 

  Holidays

  An animated pixel-art scene for today's holiday, or a countdown to the next one. Every date is worked out on the board itself — no network needed.

• 

  Air quality

  Not outdoor smog — this one reads the board's own temperature and humidity sensor, a few inches from your face, and says in plain words whether the room feels comfortable. Plus a trend graph of the last few hours.

• 

  Marquee

  Your own message, up to three lines, chased by a ring of marching dashes like an old theater sign. Lines too long to fit pause, then scroll.

• 

  Neko

  A tan, blue-eyed cat who naps, wakes and wanders after a little mouse — then grooms once he's caught it. Modeled on a real sprite sheet, and he turns to face wherever he's walking, portrait panel included.

• 

  Aquarium

  A small pixel aquarium with fish drifting across the panel, slow and calm.

• 

  Gravity

  A basketball, beach ball, apple, duck, feather and more fall, roll and slide around the panel as you tilt the board, using its motion sensor.

• 

  Forecast

  Up to seven days out, shown two ways: two days per screen, or one big day at a time with its high, low, rain chance and icon. Shares Weather's location by default.

• 

  Lava

  Soft, additive color blobs that drift and leave fading trails behind them — the screensaver you'd actually want to sit and watch.

• 

  Scores

  Scores for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS, team logos and all, scrolling card by card from ESPN's public scoreboard.

• 

  Photos

  Up to 16 pictures uploaded from the board's own web page, fitted to the panel by stretching, cropping or letterboxing.

• 

  Weather

  Current conditions from Open-Meteo — free, no API key. The big temperature and sky up top, with feels-like, humidity and wind scrolling underneath.

• 

  Planets

  Shaded pixel art of the solar system: the camera zooms into each planet in turn — name, spin, rings and moons — then back out to the next.

• 

  News

  Three rows scrolling at once, any mix you want: stock movers, headlines from an RSS feed, or currency conversions. All from free services — no account required.

• 

  Fireworks

  A simulated show over a tiny skyline: rockets rise, burst into spheres, rings and golden willows, sometimes ending in a finale right before the page turns. Whoosh, boom and crackle, if the speaker's on.

• 

  Matrix Rain

  Green characters falling down the panel, the classic screen rain.

• 

  Chicago Events

  Upcoming events around Chicago from a public listings feed, one per page like Calendar, with the date and time across the top.

• 

  Calendar

  Paste a public calendar link — iCloud, Google, Outlook, anything that speaks iCalendar — and your next few events show up here, one per page, however big the real calendar is.

• 

  Trench Run

  A vector-arcade trench run: a fighter weaves down the station canal, fires two torpedoes into the exhaust port and pulls up — then the station blows. Original line art.

• 

  Gas Prices

  National average price of a gallon of regular gas from AAA, updated once a day, with the grade you pick shown above the price.

• 

  Seasonal

  What's actually in season this month, wherever you live — little produce icons scrolling by, pulled from the same location as Weather.

• 

  Countdown

  Pick a date and a label — Vacation, Birthday, whatever's circled on the fridge — and watch the days left tick down.

• 

  3D Maze

  A random maze drawn in first person while a walker solves it, with a mini-map and an optional trail. When it gets out, a new maze begins.

• 

  Space Warp

  Stars streaming toward you through a space warp, faster and brighter as they pass.

• 

  Plex

  The newest arrivals on your own Plex server, one per page, with the title and its rating — Rotten Tomatoes when it has one, IMDb or TMDb otherwise. Talks to the server directly on your network.

• 

  Flights

  Every aircraft currently flying near a spot you choose, nearest first: callsign, type, altitude, speed and an arrow for the direction it's heading. Free public ADS-B data, no account needed.

• 

  HAL

  An original sci-fi scene: a red lens beside a green CRT terminal, quietly watching. No data, no sound — just atmosphere.

• 

  Gallery

  Pixel art from Companion's PopArt library, crossfading from piece to piece. At bedtime, Lullaby dims the picture and plays a soft recording that fades out right along with it — see it below.

• 

  PixelPet

  A pixel cat or dog walking across the panel. In portrait the pet stays in place while the street scrolls past, with fire hydrants for the dog and a cat tower for the cat.
