Mac digital signage software
Turn a Mac Mini, iMac, or MacBook into a reliable, high-performance signage player. Download the macOS player, install the .dmg, and schedule, publish, and monitor screens from the cloud.
Reliable, premium signage on the hardware you know
Apple Silicon and Intel Macs make dependable, high-quality signage players — a natural fit for Apple-standardised offices and premium retail and hospitality.
Reliable Apple silicon performance
Apple Silicon and Intel Macs run smooth, always-on playback for landscape, portrait, and multi-zone layouts. The efficient Apple hardware handles 4K media, live web content, and two concurrent video streams without dropping frames or overheating on a shelf.
Simple .dmg install
Download the Fugo player as a standard macOS .dmg, drag it to Applications, and open it — no command line, no fuss. It is the same install flow your team already knows from every other Mac app, so IT can roll it out across sites in minutes.
Premium picture quality
Crisp, colour-accurate output that suits flagship stores, hotels, and boardrooms where the picture has to look the part. Macs drive high-resolution and HDR displays natively, so menu boards, welcome screens, and dashboards render exactly as designed.
Runs on the macs you own
Repurpose an existing Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook, or Mac Pro into a managed screen — no proprietary signage hardware to buy. Any Mac on macOS 11.7 or newer can become a Fugo player, which keeps hardware costs down and reuses kit you already trust.

Get a mac screen live in minutes
Three steps from a spare Mac to managed digital signage.
Download the .dmg
Grab the Fugo macOS player installer from fugo.ai, then open the .dmg and drag Fugo into your Applications folder. It installs like any other Mac app — no terminal, no extra dependencies to chase down.
Install and run
Launch Fugo on the Mac connected to your display. The player opens full-screen and shows a unique pairing PIN, ready for you to claim the screen from the cloud dashboard.
Pair and manage remotely
Enter the PIN in Fugo CMS to connect the screen, then build playlists, schedule content, and monitor every Mac from one cloud dashboard. From here on you never need to touch the device — updates and content publish over the air.
A full digital signage platform behind every mac screen
The macOS player handles reliable playback on screen; Fugo CMS gives you everything you need to design, schedule, and manage content across your whole estate.
Design in the browser
Build slides, menu boards, and dashboards in the drag-and-drop Design Studio, or start from an industry template. Everything is created in the browser and pushed straight to your Mac screens — no design tools to install on the player.
Central screen management
Group, tag, and filter every Mac player from one cloud dashboard. Organise screens by property, location, or player type to manage a large network without ever logging into an individual device.
Flexible scheduling
Set start and end dates, day-parts, and recurring schedules so the right content plays at the right time. Publish once and Fugo pushes it to every paired Mac automatically, with instant takeovers when you need to override.
Apps and integrations
Pull in live data with App Store apps for weather, news, social walls, calendars, and BI dashboards, or embed any webpage. Content stays fresh on every Mac screen without anyone touching the player.
What you can play on a mac
The macOS player supports the full Fugo media set and feature list, so a Mac screen can show anything from a looping promo to a live, data-driven dashboard.
Images and video
Play JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, WebP, SVG, and GIF images alongside MP4, MPG, MPEG, MOV, and AVI video, plus MP3 audio and PDF documents. Standard formats mean your existing content just works.
Landscape, portrait, and multi-zone
Run screens in landscape or portrait, and split them into multiple zones. The macOS player can play two concurrent videos or streams at once for richer, magazine-style layouts.
Apps, webpages, and scripting
Add live App Store apps, embed any webpage, and use website scripting to tailor what appears on screen. Bring in dashboards, social feeds, and third-party tools without custom development.
Offline playback
Media is cached on the Mac so screens keep playing through a dropped connection. When the network returns, the player quietly syncs the latest content and schedules.
Remote screenshots
Check exactly what each screen is showing with remote screenshot monitoring, straight from the dashboard. Confirm a campaign is live across every site without visiting a single one.
Over-the-air updates
The Fugo application updates itself remotely, so players stay current on the latest features and fixes. No one needs to walk up to a Mac to keep it running the newest release.
Why the mac mini is the ideal signage player
The Mac Mini is our top recommendation for new signage deployments. It is compact enough to mount behind or beside a display, sips power for always-on use, and its Apple Silicon (or Intel) chip drives high-resolution screens with room to spare. We recommend the Mac Mini M2 / M2 Pro (Early 2023) for new purchases, and the M1 (Late 2020) and Late 2018 models remain supported and recommended if you already own one. Pair one Mac Mini with each screen, install the Fugo player, and manage the whole fleet from the cloud.
