Where Tilez runs
Tilez is one app that runs in several places. It looks and works the same in each.
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Windows, macOS | The desktop app |
| Android | The app, also on a wall tablet: it can keep the screen on, dim it, and wake when someone comes near |
| iOS, iPadOS | The app |
| A web browser | Through Tilez Hub on your home network |
Minimum versions: Windows 11, macOS 15, Android 12, iOS 17.
Why a browser needs Tilez Hub
Section titled “Why a browser needs Tilez Hub”The apps talk to your devices directly. A browser cannot: it may not open connections to devices on your network by itself. Tilez Hub, a small server at home, does that for it, and serves Tilez to the browsers paired with it.
Where the dashboard comes from
Section titled “Where the dashboard comes from”On its first start, Tilez offers:
- Try the demo: a demo home, without any devices.
- New dashboard: your own, kept on this device. You pick its look first.
- Load a dashboard: one kept elsewhere, so that every device can use the same one:
- A Tilez Hub server, in your home;
- Tilez Cloud, your dashboards in the cloud, for all your devices;
- A web address, a dashboard file on a web server, read-only.
