A familiar problem
You have a slides computer, backup playback, a remote guest, and a room full of outputs. ScreenTag makes their identity visible during setup, rehearsal, and troubleshooting.
Name the computer Show Main. Keep its built-in screen as Operator and label the external output Program. When that wallpaper appears on a switcher or multiview, the crew can recognize the source.
ScreenTag creates visual identification. It does not detect downstream signal routing or verify what a switcher, converter, or screen receives.
Use numbered displays, AV names, or your own labels.
Select an accent, a wallpaper style, and an optional PNG or JPEG logo.
Use Identify or the full-screen preview. Apply makes your edits visible in the wallpapers.
Save named templates and explicitly recall the right setup for another computer.
The working surface
See resolution and fractional refresh rate, including values such as 59.94 Hz. Unavailable readings are shown as unavailable. ScreenTag does not change resolutions, install drivers, or switch mirror and extend modes.
Use labels such as Operator, Program, Preview, Confidence, Stage Left, LED Wall, or Stream Feed. Choose global colors or override an individual output.
Check an output with Identify or a full-screen preview. Pending edits and new outputs need Apply. Previously applied outputs can redraw after display changes using the last applied settings while the app stays open.
Three ways to identify
A dark grid, large source name, accent label, and subtle frame.
Grid, circle, edge marks, color bars, and gray steps for visual line checks. Not a measurement or calibration tool.
A prominent source name and a large colored band designed for multiview layouts.
Add it to your toolkit
Add ScreenTag to your website library, then choose the available build for your computer. One free claim covers Windows, Mac Apple Silicon, and Mac Intel releases. No cart, subscription, or payment method is required.
Separate builds for Windows x64, Mac Apple Silicon, and Mac Intel. Only published releases are available.
Windows 0.1.3: put the EXE in a writable folder and run it. No installer or separate .NET installation is needed. Native libraries extract automatically into a local cache.
This Windows test build is unsigned. Review it under your organization's software security policy.
Before you start
A DexCue website account records your free library claim and gives you the download. This records which account added ScreenTag, not whether you installed it or how you use it. The application itself runs offline without an account, telemetry, or a cloud service.
Mac Apple Silicon and Mac Intel are separate builds. Choose the available entry that matches your Mac. Each build has its own version and release availability.
No. ScreenTag identifies sources visually using wallpapers and information reported by the operating system. Signal-check graphics are visual aids, not measurement, calibration, or compliance certification.
Closing ScreenTag leaves the last wallpaper in place and stops automatic updates. Other applications can cover the wallpaper. Restore can return the original image when its file is still available; it does not reconstruct slideshows, dynamic wallpapers, wallpaper positioning, or macOS Spaces.
Shared preferences and named templates live beside the app. An optional OneDrive application folder can carry those files between computers, and shared changes are read when ScreenTag opens. Machine identity and wallpaper recovery remain local. This is not live fleet management, and simultaneous preset edits can conflict.
The Windows 0.1.3 download is a portable test build. Check the release notes for your platform. Test wallpaper changes and restoration, display transitions, and any shared preferences in your own setup before relying on it during a production.
