This is the real ticker, running here on sample data, and you can open the demo full screen on this device or any other. Your own ticker, with your teams, places and stocks, starts with a free 7 day trial.
What you follow, on any screen.
GridTicker is a scrolling ticker for the things you follow, much like the one
along the bottom of a sports broadcast. It runs in any web browser, so you can put it across
the top of your monitor, on the TV in the corner, on a spare laptop or on the phone in your
hand, and it keeps you up to date while you get on with your day.
No card needed to start. After your trial, it's $10 a month if you'd like to keep it.
On Android, you can also set it up from your phone with the GridTicker app.

A short video on picking your teams, stocks and weather, and putting the ticker on a screen. It plays from YouTube once you press play, and nothing loads from YouTube before then.

Try it yourself
Choose a look, a layout and what to show, and watch it change as you do.
Both of these are the real thing running a sample day: GridTicker in a web browser, and the
LED panel that hangs on your wall.
This is the software a
GridTicker LED panel runs, drawing each of its LEDs right here on the page. The panel itself
is for sale: see the LED panel for what it shows, what it costs and
how to buy one.
What you'll see on it
Live scores
Games as they happen, with the details a TV broadcast shows: the count and who's on
base, possession, down and distance, timeouts left and the red zone. Timeouts, fouls,
penalties and reviews appear the moment they're called, along with the game clock.
Standings and the playoff picture
Division and conference standings alongside the games, and the wild card race when
that's what everyone is watching.
Race day and golf
The running order with each car number in its own colors, the gap to the leader and
the laps to go, plus race mode, which puts every car on a live map of
the track. On a golf Sunday, the leaderboard with how far through their round each
player is.
Stocks
Your watchlist with each stock's move for the day and a small chart of how it got
there, right beside the scores instead of in another tab.
Headlines
Stories from the news outlets you choose, each with its own logo, and breaking news
clearly marked.
The weather and warnings
The sky where you are as a moving picture, the next few hours and the days ahead, and
a heads-up when rain is on the way, for up to four places. Watches and warnings for the
places you choose, and a tornado warning takes over the whole screen until it passes.
Planes overhead
For anyone who likes to look up: the planes flying over your home right now, and
where they're coming from and going, when that's known.
Launches and the space station
Rocket launches from around the world, with the date, the time, the country each one
flies from and a countdown to the second. The International Space Station crossing the
map, plus when it will pass over you and which way to look. The moon,
eclipses, meteor showers and the northern lights, all worked out for where you live.
Race mode
When a race you follow goes green, the ticker turns into a view of the
race. Every car appears on a map of the track, spaced out by the real gaps between them, with
the flag and the laps to go alongside. The full running order scrolls past too: car numbers
in their own colors, the gap to the leader, laps down and who's on pit road.
This is a sample Cup race,
running right now on this page. Give it a couple of minutes and a caution comes out: the
track turns yellow, the field bunches up behind the pace car, and the ticker tells you
why.
NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Truck races get the full picture from NASCAR's own
timing: the field on the map, the gaps, the flag and why it's out, the free pass, pit road
and the stage.
Formula 1 and IndyCar races show the track, the current lap and the running
order.
Race mode stays off until you turn it on, with one switch for each screen, since
it takes over the ticker for the length of a race.
Launches and the space station
Rocket launches from around the world, from Cape Canaveral to Baikonur,
each with a drawing of the rocket itself, the mission and where it's headed, the date and
time in your own time zone, and the country it flies from. Once the launch time is known to
the minute, the countdown runs to the second, and the result stays up for twelve hours
afterward.
These are sample launches,
counting down right here on the page (one on hold, one in flight and one tomorrow), with the
space station on its way around the world.
The space station's position, worked out from its orbit: which country or ocean
it's over, how high and how fast it's going, and whether it's in sunlight, moving smoothly
across the map.
Time to look up: five minutes before the station crosses your sky, the ticker
tells you where it will appear, then follows it across, in degrees and in fists held at
arm's length.
Launches you can see from home: when a night launch is close enough to see, it
tells you which way to look and when.
The rest of the sky: tonight's moon, eclipses you can see from home, the peak
night of a meteor shower, the northern lights when they might reach you, spacewalks and
splashdowns, passing asteroids and rocket stages coming down. You can turn each one on or
off.
Make it yours
More than a billion billionways to set up your ticker, counting only which of GridTicker's more
than 60 feeds you switch on. Then every feed has options of its own.
Everything you follow
Your favorite teams, from the pros to hundreds of college programs, up to 20 stocks,
the news outlets you trust, up to four weather locations and the flights you want to
track.
Options inside every feed
Stock alerts for a big move, a trading halt or a moving average crossed, with your own
numbers. As much or as little weather warning as you like. How far around you to watch
for planes, and how high a space station pass has to climb before it's worth going
outside.
A look for every screen
Three looks, from a sleek dark terminal to an amber stadium board, as a TV-style score
box, a single line, or large logos on a panel. In a browser, give each kind of information
a row of its own, with its own speed and height, and let the text size itself to the
window.
Every screen its own way
Your browser, your phone and each LED panel can show different things, each with its
own look and schedule: scores on the TV in the den, and stocks on the monitor at work.
On your schedule
Give each kind of information its own hours on the days you choose, so stocks show
while the market is open, scores in the evening, and nothing at all after bedtime.
Alerts that can't wait
A tornado warning for one of your places takes over the whole screen until it passes.
The space station passing over, a launch you can see from home and an eclipse can each
take over too, with a switch of their own.
Help whenever you want it
An AI assistant, built in. Once you're signed in, tap the ? in the corner
of any page and ask in your own words. It can see your settings, explains what to change,
and gives you a button that takes you straight there. Your conversations aren't saved.
A guide to every setting. Our guide explains everything on
the ticker and every setting, with pictures, and each box on the Settings page has a
? that opens its part of the guide.
A quick start to begin. A few short cards walk you through the basics the first
time you sign in, and they're there again whenever you'd like a refresher.
Every option
Here is what you can choose, feed by feed. One account sets up your
browser, your phone and your LED panels, and every picture here is the real thing drawing a
sample day, either in a web browser or on a panel's LEDs.

Rivals
A rivalry with friends or family, on the ticker of everybody in it: its name and emoji, who picked what, how it stands, the messages and the countdown to the loser's forfeit
What the loser does - the winner's jersey for a week, the kids' pick of a costume - never money, and the forfeit day the ticker counts down to
Settled by a playoff series, read as it's played, with a tiebreak on the runs scored - or by whoever you say won
A fan group: friends who each follow their own teams in one league, their games for the week, and a grudge match when two of their teams meet
A wall of shame: as many past seasons' losers on the card as you choose, and the all-time record
Nobody is in a rivalry until they accept, and anyone can follow along without a side
Your photos
Your own pictures scrolling past with everything else, from a Google Drive folder shared by link; add to the folder and they appear on their own
The newest 25, 50, 100, 150 or 200, each the full height of the panel in its own shape
On, off or on a schedule for each panel, like any other ticker
Only the folder's list of files ever reaches our servers; the panel fetches its own copies and deletes them when you remove the folder
In your browser, on your phone and on 64-row LED panels; a 32-row panel is too small for them
Your household, and modes
A household: up to five people you live with, each with an account of their own - their teams, watchlist, flights, weather places, rivalries and phone - on one subscription
The panel shows everybody's teams; anyone can take theirs off it, and everybody's own browser and phone stay their own
Anyone in the household can set what the panel shows; naming and removing panels stays with its owner
Modes: a whole setup saved under a name - an NFL game day, a Wake Up with the weather, your photos and the news - which tickers, how they look, brightness and speed, for every panel or just some
A mode turns on with one press from the home page, for an hour, two or four, or until you turn it off - or on a schedule, like 5 to 8 every morning
Turn one off and the panels go back exactly as they were; the one turned on most recently shows
The LED panel
Every team in its own colors, or the whole panel in amber like a stadium board
A TV-style score box, a single line, or large logos with a big score between them
Brightness and scroll speed
Hours for each kind of information, on the days you choose, in your time zone - or the panel's own
Panel groups, so each panel or group shows its own feeds, look, schedule, brightness and speed
Living room mode: the panel dark, or showing seasonal artwork or a picture of the weather outside, until you switch it back
Just the things you care about
Choose your teams, stocks, news outlets and places once, and GridTicker keeps them in your
account, so your ticker looks the same on every device you sign in on. You can also choose
when each kind of information appears: stocks while the market is open, scores in the
evening and nothing after bedtime.
Sign in and pick what you follow. Leagues, teams, stocks and news outlets, as
many or as few as you like.
Open the ticker. Run it full screen on a spare monitor, or in a window across the
top of the screen you're using.
Then let it run. It keeps up with the games by itself and goes quiet on the
schedule you set.
The LED panel
A bright LED display that hangs on your wall and shows the same ticker
from the same account, keeping itself up to date.
The panel is for sale, in small batches: see the LED panel for what
it puts on your wall, what it costs and the button to buy one. Every panel comes with a free
trial of GridTicker, and the account you create today is the one it joins, with the
teams and stocks you've already chosen. You can try the software it runs before you buy:
choose On an LED panel under Try it yourself.
