Clack turns an old iPad, a spare monitor or a TV into a clacking departure board for your home: live trains, the weather, the time, and messages from your family. It runs in the browser, with no app and no subscription.
Every flap steps through the drum one card at a time, just like the real thing, and every step clacks. You set it up once and leave it running.
Characters roll forward through the drum instead of cross-fading. The sound is made on the spot for each flap, so a full board sounds like a full board.
Every passenger station in Finland, live from Fintraffic: platform, line and destination, with yellow tiles for late trains and red for cancelled ones.
The current conditions and a three-hourly forecast for any place in the world, from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
Share a private link with your household. Anyone with it can put a note on the board from their phone, no app needed.
Any screen with a browser: an iPad from a drawer, a Raspberry Pi on a monitor, a laptop, or a TV browser. Add it to the home screen and it runs full screen.
No account and no subscription. One key unlocks Pro on all your own screens, and the free board is yours to keep either way.
Nothing to install.
Go to this site on the screen you want to use and tap Try it free. On an iPad, use Share → Add to Home Screen to get the full-screen version.
Tap the board and open settings. Choose a station, a place for the weather, and a message, and how often the screens should change.
Plug it in and set the screen to stay awake. It keeps itself up to date from there.
Try the free board for as long as you like. Pro is a single payment.
Secure checkout by Stripe. Your key appears straight after you pay.
Anything with a recent browser: iPad and iPhone (Safari), Android tablets, Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Chromebooks. Older iPads work best added to the home screen, with Auto-Lock set to Never.
Finland for now: every passenger station, live. The clock, weather and messages work everywhere.
No. You pay once, and your key keeps working.
All the screens in your own home or office. One key covers them.
Trains, weather and messages need a connection. The clock and your own messages keep running offline once the page has loaded.
