About this app

Screenkode turns any display into a beautiful, always-current shul screen - and puts the controls in your pocket.

Built for synagogues, Chabad houses, yeshivos and Jewish organizations, Screenkode replaces the printed sign, the whiteboard and the outdated slideshow with one system your gabbai can actually run. Post a minyan change from the parking lot, schedule a dedication weeks ahead, or push an announcement to every screen in the building in seconds.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Minyanim schedules that run themselves
Build a minyanim roll once and let it repeat. Set fixed times, or anchor a minyan to a zman - Shkiah, Plag, Tzeis and many more - so Mincha moves with the sunset on its own. Weekday-by-weekday overrides, priority rules for special days, live countdowns to the next minyan, and a grid designer for the exact layout you want.

Accurate zmanim, your way
Zmanim are calculated for your location and displayed the way your kehilla says them: basic, advanced and special zmanim, per-zman rounding, and configurable Hadlukas Haneiros and Motzei Shabbos.

Announcements and posters
Compose rich-text announcements with Hebrew and English fonts, or upload poster images and videos. Schedule a start and end date, target one screen or all of them, and keep everything organized in folders. Bulk import and export when you have a lot to post at once.

Donations and dedications
Display sponsorships, dedications and "in honor of" messages using ready-made templates. Choose whether each one runs always, on Shabbos only, or on weekdays only.

Date and time banners
Show the current time, the date and the week's parsha in a banner you design, so the screen always says what day it is.

Multiple screens, multiple zones
Register every screen in your building and split each one into zones - minyanim on one side, zmanim on the other, a poster below, a banner across the top. Every zone gets its own fonts, colors and sizes.

See it before you send it
The dashboard shows a live preview of what is on each screen right now, along with active screen counts, today's announcements and what is scheduled ahead. Jump to any future date to confirm that Yom Tov week is already set up.

Team and developer access
Invite the people who help you run the screens, and use API keys with the Screenkode REST API to publish content straight from your own systems.

WHO IT'S FOR
Gabbaim, shul administrators, Chabad shluchim, school and yeshiva offices, and anyone responsible for keeping a community informed.

Screenkode requires a Screenkode account and an active organization. This app is the control room for the screens you have registered.
