Cliora
Cliora is free digital signage software that runs on ordinary web hosting and wakes up almost any display — from the tablet gathering dust in a drawer to the TV in a shop window. Pick the side you are here for, and see what other people do with it.
A screen used well is not decoration. It sells, informs, warns and saves your colleagues time — and it makes the business look more serious than a faded printout taped behind the counter.
Today's offer by the door, opening hours, the cards you take. No new poster to print when a price moves or the daily special runs out.
In Cliora: one content with several pages. Edit it from your phone and the screen shows it on its next check.
The range and the prices run on the screen behind the till. Customers see what things cost before they ask, and staff stop reciting the list from memory.
In Cliora: text elements placed exactly, in your own type and colour. A price changes in one place.
Aisle ends, the till line, the entrance. When the weekly promotion changes you do not walk the shop — you assign the same content to every display at once.
In Cliora: assign content to up to 100 devices in one step, and see when each of them last checked in.
Every set on the wall plays the same demo reel, or each one shows its own price card. A new campaign arrives and you upload it once.
In Cliora: the sets all watch the same link, so swapping one content rewrites the whole wall.
The space in a waiting room, by the entrance or along the tills can be sold to local businesses. Each advertiser gets an account and only sees and edits their own material.
In Cliora: per-user limits for content, storage, links and devices, plus folder permissions. As administrator you can look through any account.
A protective-equipment reminder at the hall entrance, machine-specific instructions above the workstation, days without an incident. The board nobody can walk past.
In Cliora: high-contrast single-page content. An old monitor is enough; there is no industrial display to buy.
Handovers, stoppages, training, the canteen menu. Not everyone on the floor sits at a computer reading email — the screen reaches all of them.
In Cliora: rewrite it from your phone in a minute, or ask your connected AI to word it and put it up.
Information running in the hall and the corridors takes the weight off the office. Students read it where they already walk past.
In Cliora: several pages inside one content, moving at their own pace. The TVs and projectors the school already has are good enough.
Escape routes, assembly points, room allocation, the event schedule. A screen that informs in normal use and points the way when it matters.
In Cliora: large arrows and pictograms built from vector shapes, so they stay sharp at any resolution. This supplements, and never replaces, the safety signage required by law.
The day menu, coffee prices, allergen notes. When something sells out you strike it through — no chalkboard to redraw, no laminated sheet to replace.
In Cliora: several screens side by side, each showing its own page from the same family of content.
Queue numbers, today’s clinic, useful notes, the next event. At reception, a visitor’s name on the screen already changes the welcome.
In Cliora: load your own website or the public view of an internal system, and have it refresh on the interval you set.
A welcome board at reception, room allocation for the conference, today’s programme in the corridor. Guests see where to go without having to ask anyone.
In Cliora: several displays, each with its own content, and one shared link you switch in a single move.
A screen does not have to belong to a company to be good. Most homes have an old tablet, phone or laptop lying around — and two minutes later it is doing something far kinder. Swipe through four ordinary situations.
The photographs we never print, and the walls that have held the same thing for years.
An old tablet on the shelf, changing the family pictures by itself. Add a new photo and the frame picks it up — even if you are two hundred kilometres away.
An image gallery element with your own interval and transition.
Two to four old monitors above the sofa with a single composition running across them. Not four pictures — one picture, in four pieces.
ArtWall: lay the panels out, and Cliora keeps them on a shared clock.
In the evening the screen becomes a painting: quiet, slowly moving compositions, or your own photographs. No flashing, no notifications, no feed.
Your own content with several pages and a long interval.
The note falls off, the calendar lives in a phone, and the shopping list is somewhere in everyone’s head.
A screen by the door instead of sticky notes, and anyone can update it from their phone — even from the bus. It never falls off, never disappears, and everyone sees the same thing.
Text elements you rewrite from the workspace, or by asking your AI assistant.
Training, parents’ evening, bin day, the doctor. Instead of paper on the fridge, something actually current — and something you do not rewrite every Sunday.
Several pages taking turns, or simply the web page of the calendar you share.
Homework, piano practice, the week’s jobs, reward points. Visible, shared, and much harder to “forget” than a list in a notebook.
You can add a dynamic AI field that writes a fresh encouragement each day.
Some people do not need another app. They need one large, clear sentence. And a button.
In your grandmother’s living room: when the doctor comes, who is visiting today, when to take the tablets. She operates nothing — you write it from where you are.
A single page in large type. You edit it, the display just shows it.
A big button on the touchscreen, pressed in the morning — and your day is calmer. Not surveillance, not a camera: a deliberate gesture she makes herself.
The button opens a web address that you choose.
The same screen, another button: “Call me.” Pressing it opens an internet address you set, and from there your own automation sends the message.
Your own automation sends the alert (Home Assistant, Make, IFTTT). Cliora does not send email or SMS, and this is not a life-safety device.
Weather, calendar, home control, the next bus. Nothing to rebuild — just somewhere to put it.
Today’s forecast, the next bus, your smart-home dashboard. In the morning nobody feels like digging out a phone for that.
A link to your own web address, with a return and refresh interval.
A shared shopping list, a live score, an exchange rate, your favourite news page. And if somebody clicks away, the display finds its way back by itself.
Type the address and the display loads it — then returns to it on a timer.
The Wi-Fi password, the check-out time, bin day, the good places nearby. Guests find what they need and do not ring you at ten in the evening.
Add a QR element so the Wi-Fi or the map goes onto the guest’s phone.
Cliora is digital signage software: you build content in it, then assign that content to a display or to a shareable link. The workspace runs on your own hosting, and the displays are devices you already have. No monthly fee per screen, no proprietary hardware to buy.
Text, images, shapes, video, galleries and QR codes — placed precisely, in your own colours and type. Several pages inside one content, with clickable steps between them.
If something already exists on the web, there is no need to rebuild it. The display loads the address you give it, and returns to it and refreshes on the interval you set.
Turn several displays into one surface. Arrange, rotate and scale the panels; Cliora keeps them on a shared clock so they move together.
An Android TV box, tablet or phone, a Windows mini PC, a Mac mini, a Raspberry Pi — or simply a browser. If you have a display gathering dust, it just found a job.
Connect Cliora to your favourite MCP-capable AI app and create content, rewrite a headline or switch a screen in conversation. Inside a content you can also place a field the AI refreshes by itself on a set interval.
Colleagues, tenants or advertisers with their own accounts. Content, storage, link, artwall and device limits are set per user, and folders carry their own permissions.
The workspace works on mobile: pair a device by QR, swap content, check status. For detailed design work a big screen is simply more comfortable.
Copy the folder to your hosting, open it in a browser, and the first page creates the administrator account. No database, no command line, no setup wizard.
No printing, no laminating, no walking the building. One change in one place, and every display that needs it follows. What used to take half a day takes two minutes.
A well-made screen leaves a different impression than a faded A4 sheet held up with tape. The same message, with a great deal more credibility.
Your content sits on your hosting, on your own domain. Nothing has to be handed over, nothing has to be uploaded to somebody else’s cloud, and you can take a copy of all of it whenever you like.
Most digital signage services charge a monthly fee per screen, sell you their own player hardware, and keep everything in their own cloud. Each of those has its place. Cliora set off down a different road.
The tenth display costs the same as the first: nothing. That is not a trial period, it is how it works.
We do not sell players. Whatever is lying around at home or in the storeroom becomes a display — and if it dies, anything else will do.
Your content is not held in somebody else’s cloud but on your own hosting. For many organisations that is not a convenience, it is a condition.
Cliora has been controllable over an MCP connection from the start, and fields inside a content can refresh themselves through AI. It is not a “generate text” button in the editor.
FTP, browser, done. No database, no container, no command line — though Docker is coming for those who want it.
ArtWall is not a separate product and not an add-on price: it is included, and it builds a video wall out of old monitors.
Cliora is free to use. Installed on your own hosting there is no per-screen price and no subscription — the administrator sets the limits there, and can give new registrants a default allowance. On a shared workspace you get whatever the administrator grants you.
In return, please be patient with us: Cliora is under active development, it grows version by version, and there is no 24/7 support desk behind it. Keep your own copies of anything important, and if something breaks or is missing, tell us — that is where the next versions come from.
This does not need a big decision. Download a player, put the workspace on your hosting, and try it on one display. If it works for you, the rest can follow.
If you have an idea that is not on this list, write to hello@cliora.eu. Most of the examples above started that way.
