iPad room display software

Turn any iPad into a smart meeting room display.

Install the app, pair with a code, mount on the wall. Pannl gives you real-time Google Calendar sync, one-tap check-in and a full admin console — no proprietary hardware, no IT project.

Free for your first device. Works on any iPad from 2016 onwards.

Why use an iPad instead of a proprietary display?

For most offices, a $329 iPad plus a $30 wall mount is a better room panel than any purpose-built display — and cheaper by an order of magnitude.

You probably already own iPads. Half of the teams we talk to have spare iPads from old point-of-sale installations, guest sign-in kiosks or previous room display vendors. Reusing them means zero incremental hardware cost.

Everyone knows how iPads work. Staff, guests and cleaners can operate an iPad without training. Proprietary tablets often have strange power behaviour, weird interaction patterns and no ecosystem of accessories.

iPads get software updates from Apple. Security, performance and accessibility improvements arrive automatically for years. Proprietary displays are typically abandoned within 3-5 years and become expensive e-waste.

You are not locked in to one vendor. An iPad running Pannl today can run any other App Store room display app tomorrow. Proprietary hardware locks you into the vendor's software forever.
