About this app
Webview Kiosk is a free and open-source Android application for secure, kiosk-style web browsing.
It can function as digital signage, a kid-friendly restricted browser, an immersive web reader, an interactive sign-up form, a home assistant dashboard, or simply a wall clock.
Designed for small businesses and device owners who are looking for a simple and standalone Kiosk solution.
Key Features
Core / Standalone
- Lock Task Mode (Pin): prevent access to your device's home screen, apps and status bar - Secure Settings: configurations are protected by biometrics, device credentials or custom password - URL Filtering: use regular expressions to control web access through a URL blacklist and whitelist - Export/Import: backup and restore user settings in Base64 or JSON format - Local files: display an image, audio, video, or HTML file in kiosk mode from your device - Default Launcher: use as the home app and launch other apps in lock task mode (kiosk)
Remote Management / Enterprise
1. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) - Monitor events, update settings, execute commands and build custom automations using the API - Requires an MQTT broker (e.g. Mosquitto, EMQX, HiveMQ, or their HomeAssistant integrations)
2. UnifiedPush - Send commands and update settings via a decentralised push notification system - Requires a distributor application (e.g. sunup, ntfy, gCompat-UP)
3. Managed Configurations (App Restrictions) - For fully-managed (company-owned) devices, settings can be remotely configured via an MDM/EMM provider - Advanced users using a device policy controller (e.g. Test DPC or OwnDroid) can also enforce configurations locally
