Webview Kiosk
Turn Your Android Device Into a Controlled Powerhouse
• Stop letting your Android devices wander aimlessly.
• Webview Kiosk is a free, open-source tool that locks your hardware into a specific purpose.
• Whether you are building digital signage, a secure kid-safe browser, a minimalist dashboard, or an interactive terminal, we keep the user exactly where you want them.
Why Choose Webview Kiosk?
• Total Lockdown: Use "Lock Task Mode" to vanish the home screen, status bar, and unwanted apps.
• Fort Knox Security: Keep your configurations safe with biometrics or custom passwords.
• Flexible Access: Control exactly where users go with regex-based URL filtering and white/blacklisting.
• Local & Web Ready: Display hosted sites or local assets like PDFs, images, and videos with ease.
• Automation Enthusiast: Inject custom JS, use NFC tags, or run scripts to make your device truly smart.
Enterprise-Grade Management
For those managing fleets rather than just a single tablet, we offer robust remote control:
• MQTT Integration: Execute commands, monitor status, and trigger automations via your own broker.
• UnifiedPush: Send settings updates through decentralized notification systems.
• Managed Configurations: Configure devices remotely using standard MDM/EMM providers for professional deployments.

FAQ
Q: Does Webview Kiosk require a paid subscription to access all features?
A: Not at all. Unlike many commercial kiosk solutions that lock features behind paywalls or "pro" versions, Webview Kiosk is entirely open-source and fully functional right out of the box. We believe in providing a robust, professional-grade tool without the need for expensive subscriptions.
Q: How does the "Lock Task Mode" keep my users from leaving the app?
A: Lock Task Mode is a native Android feature that we utilize to pin the application to the screen. When enabled, it effectively hides the home screen, blocks the status bar, and prevents the user from switching to other apps or accessing system settings, ensuring that your device stays exactly where you want it.
Q: Can I limit the websites that users are allowed to visit?
A: Yes, you have granular control over web navigation. You can define specific access rules using regex-based URL filtering, which allows you to create comprehensive whitelists or blacklists to ensure users stay only on authorized content.
