Screenly Anthias (formerly known as Screenly OSE—Open Source Edition) is a web-based digital signage platform designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. Unlike the paid "Screenly Cloud" version, Anthias is completely free and self-hosted. It allows you to manage a playlist of assets (images, videos, web pages, and even live weather feeds) via a simple web interface.

Screenly Anthias, originally designed for fixed digital signage, can be effectively repurposed for portable deployments with modest hardware and software adjustments.

For events, fieldwork, and mobile retail, Anthias on Raspberry Pi offers a practical, low-cost portable signage solution.
