Flappy Board: Split Flap Board
Animated Split-Flap Display
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV into a split-flap display. Show flights, weather, or any message — controlled via REST API or the Flappy Board Controller app.
Transform your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV into a stunning split-flap display — the iconic mechanical boards once found in airports, train stations, and hotels worldwide.
Flappy Board renders each character on individual flipping tiles that cycle with satisfying mechanical animation. Drive it remotely from your home automation system or any app that can send an HTTP request.
FEATURES
• Authentic split-flap animation — every character tile flips independently at configurable speed
• Built-in demos — watch a live departure board fill in with flights and airline logos, or display current weather conditions
• Local HTTPS API — Flappy Board runs a secure server on your device, accepting messages from any device on your network
• Flappy Board Controller — pair a companion iPhone or iPad app by scanning a QR code; send messages wirelessly
• Fully configurable — adjust rows, columns, character set, flip speed, fonts, and colors
• Home Assistant and more — works with any HTTP client for easy automation integration
• Secure by default — Bearer token authentication and TLS encryption keep your board private
THE AMATEUR PLAN
Unlock full API control with a one-time in-app purchase. Connect your own scripts, automations, and apps and turn Flappy Board into a live display for anything: sports scores, stock prices, package tracking, calendar events, or whatever data matters to you.
Flappy Board is perfect for home dashboards, event signage, smart home projects, and anyone drawn to the nostalgic appeal of mechanical displays.
