Free on the Roku Channel Store
No subscription required to install. Pay only for resources beyond the free tier.
Runs all day — one Roku setting
Roku does not let apps hold its screensaver off, so set it once: Settings → Theme → Screensaver → Wait time → Disabled, and turn off Auto power savings under Settings → System → Power. Every other Ztalio TV app keeps the screen awake by itself.
The simplest signage and photo app for Roku
Roku makes the most affordable smart-TV hardware on the market, which is exactly why so many restaurants, salons, clinics and shops already have one on the wall. Ztalio turns that Roku into working digital signage — menu boards, promotions, lobby announcements — with no media player, no per-screen licence and no watermark on the free plan. Upload from your phone, organise into folders and playlists, push to the Roku. The same app runs family photo slideshows with music just as easily.
Setup is two steps: install Ztalio from the Roku Channel Store, then enter the 6-digit pairing code into the phone or web app. From that moment on, anything you upload to Ztalio shows up on that Roku automatically. Push-to-TV lets you change what's playing without standing in front of the TV with a remote.
See the Roku setup guide for a step-by-step walkthrough or the FAQ for common questions. Free to install, free for one TV.
