about
- description
- 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 images, audio, video, HTML or PDF (using Mozilla's PDF.js) in kiosk mode - **Default Launcher:** use as the home app and launch other apps in lock task mode (kiosk) - **JS Scripts:** supports NFC (Near Field Communication), Eruda console, Dark Reader and custom scripts - **Adblock:** blocks ads and trackers using rules from uBlock Origin, AdGuard, EasyList or HaGeZi **Remote Management / Enterprise** 1.
