In their own words
Kiosker
Kiosker turns an iPhone or iPad into a configurable, full-screen web kiosk. It can show websites, local HTML, PDFs, images, videos and other documents, with HTML5, CSS WebKit and native JavaScript support. Hosts can be allowlisted or blocked, and scrolling, zooming and text selection can be disabled. Weekly screensaver schedules can run unlimited events, showing clocks, slideshows, blank screens or websites. Users can add custom CSS and JavaScript through a built-in syntax-highlighting editor. Remote configuration works with Simple MDM, Microsoft Intune, IBM MaaS360, Hexnode and Jamf Pro. Kiosker can pair with Flic Bluetooth buttons and pass button IDs to a website through JavaScript. Its controls include camera and microphone permissions, certificate handling, cross-site tracking, passcode or Face ID/Touch ID protection, event logs and a REST API with TLS certificate support, IP filtering and access tokens. It requires iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or later, an iPhone 6s or newer, or an iPad Air 2 or newer. Plans include free access with a 7-day trial, subscriptions and a one-time Pro option.
