BetaSundayScreen
Plan the lesson by designing the screen it will show. Pick a period in the planner, press Design the screen, and build exactly what the class will see — a clock, a big countdown, today's message, a traffic light, a name picker, groups, dice, a link with a QR code and images — while the board on the wall carries on untouched. Everything runs on your own machine: no account, no cloud, and no internet needed. Free desktop app for Mac and Windows.
The planner where the screen is the plan
Design each lesson in a miniature of the real editor, then drag, resize and arrange the tools right on the display surface.
Lesson planner
Pick a period and design its screen in a miniature of the real editor, while the board on the wall carries on untouched. Merge two periods into a double lesson when you need one — the timer's “rest of the lesson” then carries through the break.
Clock & timer
A digital or analog clock, a countdown with huge digits and a gentle chime, and a stopwatch. The timer keeps perfect time even if the machine sleeps.
Name picker & groups
Draw a random pupil — with no repeats until everyone has had a turn — and split the class into fair groups in one click.
Traffic light, symbols & dice
Show how to work right now: silence, whisper, collaborate or hands up — plus one to three animated dice and big messages in beautiful type.
Link, QR & images
Put a link on the screen with a QR code the class can scan from their desks, and show the class photo or a map. Images travel with the layout when you move it to another machine.
Class profiles
Every class keeps its own name list, its own lessons and its own screen layout — and each screen can have its own background colour. Switch class in two clicks.
Local first. Pupil names never leave the machine.
SundayScreen is a desktop app, not a web service. There is nothing to sign into and nothing is uploaded — the school network can be down all day and the screen won't care. If the machine restarts mid-lesson, the app brings back exactly the screen you had: the drawn name, the light colour, the dice.
- No account, no telemetry — pupil data stays on the machine
- A restart mid-lesson restores the screen exactly
- Free and open source (MIT)
Status: beta
SundayScreen is out in beta and free to download and use today. The newest build turns it into a planner: design each lesson's screen ahead of time, merge two periods into a double lesson, and put a link with a QR code or an image on the wall. It grew out of a teacher's own classroom, as part of the Sunday Suite family — this page is its home, and the download buttons always fetch the latest release.
Download & install notes
Mac: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) only for now. The beta is not yet signed with an Apple developer certificate, so the very first launch is right-click the app → Open.
Windows: the installer can trigger a SmartScreen notice the first time — choose More info → Run anyway.
Ready for Monday morning?
