Apps & Appstore

With apps you display dynamic content on your screens: weather, calendar, social media feeds, menus, real estate and much more. You set up each app as an instance, e.g. a specific calendar, and then use it in Playlists or Layouts.

How to get there

Left sidebar «Apps». At the top you switch between «zum App-Store» (to the Appstore) and «Meine Apps» (My Apps).

Open the Appstore

Open «Apps» in the sidebar. The «zum App-Store» tab shows all available apps, «Meine Apps» only the installed ones. At the very top, «Erkunden» (Explore) presents selected apps with sample images, followed by «Kürzlich hinzugefügt» (Recently added).

Find an app

Further down you filter the list with the category buttons, e.g. «Social Media» or «Kalender» (Calendar). «Alle» (All) shows all apps again. Installed apps carry the label «Installiert» (Installed), premium apps a crown.

ⓘ
No more search field

There is no longer a search field on the Apps page. You find apps via the categories or in the «Alle» (All) list. The search (⌘K) in the sidebar finds your instances, but no apps from the store.

App details, install and create an instance

Clicking an app opens its details as a window over the list: description, sample images and categories. With «App Guide» you open the quick guide for the app. If the app is already installed, you create an instance directly with «Neue Instanz» (New instance).

If the app is not yet installed, «Installiere» (Install) appears here instead. After installation you can create instances. Use the × at the top left to close the window.

ⓘ
Premium apps

Apps with a crown are paid. How to activate a premium app is shown in the guide on premium installation.

Manage installed apps and instances

Under «Meine Apps» you see every installed app with the number of its instances. Clicking an app opens its instances. There you edit existing instances or create more with «Neue Instanz» (New instance).

ⓘ
Guide per app

Each app has its own step-by-step guide with all settings. You find all apps in the application overview.
