Tactical Display turns any screen into a mission console. Live weather, radar, 10-day forecasts and 10-year climate averages lead the way — then wire in news, markets, mail, system telemetry, surf, ski, concerts, or any feed you want. Runs as a desktop app, a screensaver, and straight off your phone's home screen.
The whole point started with weather — so it goes deep. Everything below tracks your location automatically, or any city on the world clock with a tap.
Weather is the anchor, not the ceiling. Tactical Display ships with a stack of extra pages — and a custom page builder that drops any website or dashboard onto its own tactical tab.
Live world/tech/AI headlines and per-topic feeds, auto-refreshing.
Stocks, indices, metals, crypto & FX with movers and finance news.
Microsoft 365 inbox, calendars & tasks — read at a glance.
Full hardware read-out — CPU, GPU, RAM, network, battery, benchmarks.
Top snowfall resorts and best breaks worldwide, ranked live.
Live shows near you, grouped by genre with ticket links.
Point a tile at any URL — a Grafana board, a webcam, a status page, your own dashboard — and it becomes a first-class tactical page in the rotation.
Turn pages off, rename them, and set the order. Keep the console lean — only the feeds your mission needs.
One dashboard, every screen. Same live data, same look — desktop window, full-screen screensaver, or a home-screen app on your phone.
A resident window with a live taskbar weather widget. Ctrl+Alt+T throws it full-screen over anything.
When you step away, your machine becomes a glowing command console instead of going dark.
Add it to your iPhone or Android home screen — full-screen, no app store, no install.
23 built-in themes, a re-skinnable analog chronometer, and 230+ world weather sets — set it once and it's yours.
Every theme re-skins the entire console — panels, fonts, radar, background and the watch — in one tap. Grouped exactly like the app: design styles (looks & regions) and faithful classic technology palettes.
A photoreal analog watch with a 12-hour civil field dial or a 24-hour military dial — and it re-skins with every theme, right down to the metal, lume and hands. Same movement, every palette:
Anyone on the planet can pick their region — US states, European countries, Asian metros, the Caribbean, Australia, South America, every continent — and the world clock, forecasts, radar and 10-year climate averages all follow your local favorite cities. Or build your own list.
Free. No account required. Pick your platform below.
The resident desktop app + live taskbar weather widget, as one portable .exe — just run it, nothing to unzip. First launch shows a SmartScreen prompt: More info → Run anyway (unsigned, self-contained).
Deploying to a fleet? See Support → Silent install.
One portable .scr — right-click → Install (or Test to preview) to set it as your screensaver. Nothing to unzip; the runtime is bundled inside.
One double-click file that opens the dashboard full-screen. After downloading, right-click → Open the first time (Gatekeeper).
Prefer a proper .app with an icon? One line in Terminal builds it locally (no quarantine, no signing):
curl -fsSL https://tacticaldisplay.app/install-mac.sh | bash
A signed .saver bundle is on the roadmap. In the meantime, the macOS app above runs full-screen as a live kiosk — leave it open and it fills the display like a screensaver.
Then add it to your home screen so it opens full-screen:
Chrome pops up Install app automatically — one tap. If not:
Rolling it out to a fleet, or have something to tell us? You're in the right place.
The .MSI installs per-machine to C:\Program Files\TacticalDisplay and takes the standard Windows Installer switches, so it drops cleanly into SCCM, Intune or GPO.
msiexec /i TacticalDisplay.msi /qn
/qn fully silent · /qb basic UI · uninstall msiexec /x TacticalDisplay.msi /qn · verbose log add /l*v install.log. Runs elevated (SYSTEM/admin).
No — it is closed-source software. It is, for now, totally free, with zero monitoring or tracking of any kind built in. Your privacy is respected.
A bug, an idea, or a data feed you'd like wired in — it goes straight to the team.
