Gibeon / Google Sheets on your screen

Google Sheets on your screen

Paste your sheet URL, pick which cell or row to show, and watch your screen update itself. Works on TV, kiosk, Android stick and in any browser. Start free for 3 screens.

Updated

Three steps, one 15-minute cycle

No integration project, no consultant, no separate tools next to your signage.

01 / PASTE THE URL

Copy the link

Copy the share link of your Google Sheet, sign in with your Google account, and grant Gibeon read access to the sheets you explicitly select. No API keys, no service accounts, no IT team needed.

02 / PICK WHAT YOU SHOW

One click per preset

One cell as a big number, one row as a card, all rows rotating, or the whole sheet as a readable table. Four presets, ready to use. For row presets you can build your own layout with our template engine.

03 / READY IN 60 SECONDS

Auto-refresh every 15 minutes

Drag the item onto a screen or playlist. The screen fetches fresh data every 15 minutes. Change your sheet, the screen follows within the quarter hour. If internet drops, the last value stays visible.

What it solves

You have a number that needs to hang. Today's sales. The queue at the counter. The winner of the month. The inventory status. It was already in a Google Sheet, because that is where everyone works. But getting it onto a screen was an afterthought: a laptop with the tab open, a Chromecast that loses connection every two hours, or a dashboard tool costing over a hundred euros a month for a single TV.

With Gibeon you paste the sheet, pick what to show, and it is done. No embed iframe that becomes unreadable on a tablet. No second laptop. No separate dashboard tool next to your signage tool.

Four ready-to-go presets

One per common use case. Plus for row presets: build your own layout with our template engine.

Big KPI

One cell, one giant number. Optional label ("Queue today") and conditional colors (green below 10, orange 10-20, red above). Readable from 5 meters. For revenue, queue time, score, inventory.

One row as a card

Select columns from one row and build how it looks. Drag fields onto a template, pick fonts and colors, save as your template. For "employee of the month", "current offer", "active alert".

Rotating list

Loop through all rows, X seconds each, every row in your own template. For menus with photos and prices, leaderboards with avatars, or announcements with logos. Not pinned to one look.

Table view

Whole sheet as a readable table, readable from afar. Bold headers, generous padding, alternating row colors. For planning, inventory overview, scoreboards that want to show everything at once.

Build your own layout

For row presets you do not stop at defaults. Our template editor, the same one real estate agents use for properties and restaurants for menu cards, lets you freely shape fonts, colors, photo positions and fields.

Mix with other content

Put a sheet KPI next to weather, RSS headlines, photos, video or opening hours — on one screen, in the same style. Competitors force their look on you, Gibeon lets you choose.

What the US players do not do

ScreenCloud, OptiSigns and Geckoboard have ranked on "Google Sheets digital signage" queries in English for years. Three things none of them offers: a free tier for 3 screens, NL/FR/DE flow including helpcenter, and a custom template engine that lets you choose how a row looks instead of forcing a fixed embed look.

For one cell big on TV (the most requested use case) it is hidden in ScreenCloud under "embed whole sheet" and behind OptiSigns' Pro Plus tier at $15/screen. At Gibeon it is a one-click preset, free.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with private sheets?

Yes. You sign in with your Google account and grant Gibeon read access to the sheets you explicitly select. You do not have to share your sheet publicly.

How often does the screen refresh?

Every 15 minutes. Change your sheet at 14:03 and the screen shows the new value by 14:18 at the latest. Concrete numbers beat "soon" — you know exactly what to expect.

What if my internet drops?

The screen keeps showing the last fetched value until the connection is back. No blank screens, no "loading…" messages, no recognizable black boxes for your passers-by or staff.

Can I put more than one sheet on one screen?

Yes. Combine multiple sheet presets in one playlist, or put a sheet KPI next to other content — weather, RSS headlines, photos, video, opening hours. One screen, all in the same style.

Do I need to buy hardware?

No. Works on any TV with Chromecast or Apple TV, on Android sticks, on kiosk tablets, and just in a browser. Want a complete solution? Our Gibeon Player runs on Android and is delivered by AV partners with installation.

Does this work with Excel or Microsoft 365?

Yes. See /excel-op-scherm for the Microsoft 365 / OneDrive / SharePoint flow. Same pattern, different source — OAuth via Microsoft Graph API.

Can I decide how a row looks?

Yes. Our template engine, the same one real estate agents use for properties and hospitality customers for menu cards, lets you shape per-row layouts: fonts, colors, photo position, padding. Free tier: only our default templates. Starter: 3 custom templates. Pro: 25. Business: 100.

I am a developer — is there an API?

Yes. All tiers, including free, have REST and an MCP server for AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf). Manage your sheet displays via prompt or via code. Open source under MIT license. See the developer quickstart at /dev.

How much does it cost at multiple screens?

Gibeon uses workspace pricing, not per screen. Free up to 3 screens (with small watermark). Starter €39/month up to 5 screens without watermark. Pro €99/month for 10 screens, then €4 per extra screen.

What if I use a formula in my sheet?

No problem. Google evaluates your formulas before we read the cell. What you see in your sheet, your screens see — including lookups, IMPORTRANGE, QUERY and everything Sheets can do.
