Flappy Board turns your Apple TV into the iconic mechanical departure board from airports and train stations worldwide. Every character tile flips independently — each one its own little machine, cycling through the alphabet before landing on its target.
Mount it in your home, run it on a lobby screen, or just let it clock away in the corner. It looks different every time you glance at it.
Features
Authentic animation
Every character tile flips independently, cycling through the alphabet at a configurable speed. The satisfying mechanical rhythm is the whole point.
Built-in demos
Watch a live departure board fill with flights and airline logos, or display current weather conditions — right out of the box, no setup required.
Local HTTPS API
Flappy Board runs a secure server right on your device. Any script, app, or automation that can send an HTTP request can update your board.
Controller app
Pair a companion iPhone or iPad app by scanning a QR code. Send messages from across the room — or across the world — over your local network.
Fully configurable
Adjust rows, columns, character set, flip speed, fonts, and colors. Or choose from built-in themes — Classic, Amber, Ice, and Dark.
Home automation
Native Home Assistant integration. Show package arrivals, sports scores, calendar events, or anything your home knows.
Multi-platform
One app, every screen in your home. The same authentic animation — scaled to whatever you have.

Open API
Flappy Board runs a local HTTPS server on your device with a clean REST API. If it can send an HTTP request, it can update your board.
Python clients for flights, weather, Slack, PagerDuty, Bluesky, and more are available on GitHub. Or write your own in any language — the API is documented and straightforward.
