android-kiosk.com
What it is
Kiosk Browser turns an Android device into a full-screen station for a website or web app, while Kiosk Launcher restricts a device to selected Android applications. Listed uses include check-in and booking, surveys, digital signage, and web ordering. Kiosk Browser offers a JavaScript interface for web-app integration and accepts barcode and NFC input, including specified Zebra TC and M3 Mobile scanners. Both apps support bulk JSON configuration and provisioning by QR code, NFC, or ADB. A web console manages shared configurations, app installation and updates, remote actions and wipes, email alerts, location history, and requested screenshots for Kiosk Browser. Kiosk Remote Management adds a REST API for fleet control. Provisioning needs a new or factory-reset device. Android 7 is required for QR setup, Android 9 is recommended, and Android 4 is unsupported. The single-device licence costs $10.60 USD once; Remote Management costs $1.60 per device monthly at the base rate, excluding VAT.
