You can compose messages and update your Vestaboard from anywhere using the mobile app or web.vestaboard.com. Tap the floating pencil to start and access two ways to compose:
Auto Mode: Quick and Effortless
Auto Mode formats your message for you automatically, making it perfect for fast composing or pasting text. You don't need to worry about spacing or alignment as the app does it for you.
You can also adjust the alignment to suit your message:
-
Left: start messages from the left edge of the display
-
Center: perfect for balanced, visually pleasing layouts
-
Right: align messages to the right edge
Auto Mode is ideal when you want to send messages quickly while still keeping them looking polished and well-structured:
Note: If pasting doesn't work as expected, check for unsupported special characters.
Visual Mode: Full Control, Bit by Bit
If you want complete control over every character, select Visual at the top of the screen. Visual Mode lets you place each Bit exactly where you want, making it ideal for:
-
Color-based drawings
-
Messages that need precise alignment
-
Creative layouts that go beyond standard text
To help organize your message, use the gridlines, which show the horizontal and vertical center for easy placement.
Both modes let you send immediately, schedule for later, or save as a draft, giving you full flexibility over how and when your message appears:
