What is it?
Anthias is a digital signage platform for running displays on Raspberry Pi devices and PCs. It was formerly known as Screenly OSE and was renamed to separate it from Screenly's paid product. A device running Anthias cycles through assets such as images, web pages and videos on a connected screen, and it can be managed from a web dashboard.
The project supports Raspberry Pi OS and balenaOS, and it can also run on generic 64-bit ARM single-board computers running Debian-based Armbian. On those boards, video is decoded in software, so heavy 1080p or 4K video content performs best on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 or on x86 hardware.
Anthias is a good fit for showing menus, announcements, dashboards or promotional loops in offices, shops and public spaces without buying commercial signage software.
