What is a PinWall wall?
A wall is a shared, always-on screen that keeps people connected and informed. It can be as simple as a family noticeboard or as structured as a team dashboard. You control what appears and who can see or edit it.
- • One place for messages, updates and reminders
- • Designed for tablets, TVs or spare screens
- • Always visible, no need to open apps
- • Private or shared with others
What is a PinWall roll?
A roll is a collection of walls that are shown one after another on a single screen. It turns multiple walls into a simple, auto-rotating display.
- • Combine multiple walls into one view
- • Each wall shows for a set amount of time
- • Ideal for shared or public screens
- • Keeps content fresh without manual switching
