A full-screen alert that still works with the internet down
A large headline, details if needed, and a colour that matches the severity, full-screen and readable from a distance.
About this app
When something needs everyone's attention, this takes over the whole screen with a bold headline and optional details. Type your message, choose a severity (critical red, warning amber or information blue) and turn the icon and slow pulsing edge on or off. It keeps working even if the network drops, so it is ready for evacuations, safety notices and other urgent moments in offices, factories and public spaces.
Why teams choose this app
- Works when the internet does not, because nothing is fetched
- Severity picks the whole look, so nobody chooses colours in a hurry
- Set up in seconds, when there is no time to arrange anything
What it does
Severity picks the look
Instead of choosing colours during an emergency, you choose a severity. The colour and icon come with it, already matched.
Set to read from a distance
The headline gets the whole screen and is set large, because the message has to be read while walking past, not up close.
A slow pulsing edge
The edge can fade slowly to pull the eye. The rhythm is deliberately slow, well under the threshold associated with photosensitivity, and it switches itself off when the device has reduced motion enabled.
Where it fits
Evacuation
Every screen in the building carries the same instruction, including when the link went down with the power.
Closing the premises
A notice about a closure at the entrance, instead of a sheet taped to the door.
A warning on the floor
A line stoppage or a restricted area, visible to the whole shift at once.
How to set it up
Write the headline
A few words that read from a distance. Detail goes in the message below.
Pick the severity
Severity sets the colour and the icon, so nothing has to be matched by hand.
Publish to the screens
Turn the pulse on if the message has to seize attention, then publish.
Requirements and limitations
- Account
- No account of any kind is needed.
- Data source
- The text you enter is shown; nothing is fetched externally.
- Network
- A connection is needed only for the message to reach the screen.
- Refresh
- There is no refresh. The message holds until you remove it.
- Offline behavior
- Once it is on the screen it runs entirely without a network, which is the whole point of this app.
- Limitations
- The message still has to reach the screen while the connection exists. A screen that was already offline will not receive a new alert until it is back.
