DisplayNyx
Xibo alternative

A Xibo alternative with nothing to self-host

Xibo is a well-known open-source signage CMS for teams that want full control of their own server. DisplayNyx gives you that same control over content and screens, fully hosted, with AI content generation and instant push updates included.

What is Xibo?

Xibo is an open-source digital signage CMS available as a self-hosted server or a hosted CMS tier, popular with IT teams that want to run their own infrastructure.

Why teams switch

Why teams choose DisplayNyx over Xibo

The same day-to-day signage workflow, with a few things most alternatives don't bundle in.

Updates land in seconds, not overnight

The player app keeps a live connection to your dashboard - publish a change and it's on every assigned screen in seconds, no scheduled sync or reboot.

AI content generation built in

Generate an on-brand promo image or a line of menu copy in seconds instead of opening a design tool for every banner.

Screen health monitoring

See which screens are online, offline, or overdue for a heartbeat from one dashboard, so a dead screen gets caught before a customer notices.

Role-based access & audit trail

Give a store manager upload rights without handing them your whole account, and see exactly who changed what, with optional MFA on top.

What's included

Frequently asked

Do I need to run or maintain a server?

No. DisplayNyx is fully hosted, each tenant gets its own isolated database, and we handle uptime, backups, and updates, so there's no server for your team to patch or babysit.

Can I still get fine-grained control over layouts and scheduling?

Yes, per-zone layouts, dayparting schedules, and recurrence rules are all built in, without needing to touch a config file or write a layout XML by hand.

Is there an audit trail for who changed what?

Yes, content approval workflows and a full audit trail are included, useful for teams that came from a self-hosted setup with strict change control.
