Vestaboard split-flap displays

Messages, made beautifully mechanical.

“It’s not a digital screen.” A Vestaboard is thousands of physical spinning flaps you control from your phone, so every message arrives with motion and sound. For the kitchen, the studio, the café and the lobby.

The best of analog and digital

A message you hear arrive.

Vestaboard takes the flutter of a classic departure board and makes it personal. Type on the free app and, wherever the board hangs, each character spins into place, then stays put, quiet and graphic, until the next message. Its specially designed font is easy to read from a distance; Vestaboard says characters are visible from over 50 feet.

The full-size Flagship shows 132 characters on 8,448 flaps. The compact Vestaboard Note shows 45 characters and can stand on a shelf. Both are controlled from the same app, with optional Vestaboard+ automation for weather, sports, calendars, music and more.

“Screens demand attention. They glow, they notify, they interrupt. A split-flap display earns it.” — Vestaboard

Vestaboard Note

Set the tempo for the ones you love.

Vestaboard calls the Note its “inviting, playful, and versatile take on the flagship display”: 45 characters on 2,880 flaps, and one of its characters is a red heart. Frameless, it sits edge-to-edge on a shelf, countertop or built-in. With the frame, it hangs on the wall like a small Flagship.

Several Notes can also work together as a Note Array, one display “of any size or shape.” Ask us if you’re planning one.

Vestaboard questions

Do I need a subscription?

No. The free Vestaboard app lets you send and schedule messages, use the visual editor and invite others. Vestaboard+ is an optional subscription from Vestaboard that adds automated channels and integrations.

How is it installed?

The Flagship hangs on an included wall plate and bracket, anchored to wood studs or concrete. Vestaboard recommends two people and says it typically takes under 30 minutes. Plan a standard outlet directly behind or just below the display.

What does it need to run?

A standard 3-prong outlet (100–240 V) and Wi-Fi with an Internet connection, on 2.4 or 5 GHz. There is also an Ethernet port.

Black or White?

Both Flagship frames are finished aluminum: Black is RAL 9011 Graphite Black, White is RAL 9003 Signal White with white flaps. Black reads graphic on light walls; White blends into bright, minimal rooms.

Is there a warranty?

Vestaboard includes a 2-year limited warranty starting on the date of delivery.
