Introduction to Wink App
Welcome to Wink App, your command center for managing your digital screen content in a centralized, fast, and secure way.
From here you can control what is displayed, when it is displayed, and on which screens — all from a single place, with no advanced technical knowledge required.
What is Wink App?
Wink App is the administration platform developed by Wink Digital so you and your team can manage screen content efficiently. Any change you make is reflected on your devices in real time.
Why Wink App?
Managing digital signage across multiple screens and locations can be complex. Wink App was built to simplify that process — giving you a single, intuitive platform to handle everything from uploading a video to scheduling what plays on each screen at exactly the right time.
Whether you manage two screens or two hundred, the workflow is the same: upload your content, organize it, and tell the platform when and where to show it.
How It Works
Wink App is built around a simple, logical flow:
- Register your screens — Connect your Wink Player devices to the platform. Each device represents a physical screen.
- Build your library — Upload the images, videos, and media files you want to display.
- Enrich with Apps — Add dynamic content like clocks, weather widgets, or news feeds.
- Design Layouts — Define how the screen space is divided if you want to show multiple content zones simultaneously.
- Create Playlists — Combine your media files into ordered playlists.
- Schedule everything — Decide when each playlist plays, and fine-tune brightness, volume, and power settings on a schedule.
Think of it like a TV programming guide
You decide what content exists, how it's organized, and when it airs — Wink App takes care of delivering it to your screens automatically.
