Lock the screen, own the experience
Turn any Android device into exactly the experience you designed: one app, a curated multi-app launcher, or a hardened browser, with a visual builder, your branding, and automatic recovery when something goes wrong.

Which mode fits the device
Every kiosk mode shares the same lockdown foundation: the difference is how much room the user has to move.
| Mode | Apps allowed | Browser access | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-App | 1 | None | Vending, payment terminals, ordering kiosks |
| Multi-App | Curated set | Optional | Retail associate devices, service counters |
| Web Kiosk | 1 browser | Allowlisted URLs | Web ordering, dashboards, check-in |
| Digital Signage | 1 player app | None | Menu boards, wayfinding, promotions |

- Preview on real device resolutions before publishing
- Push updates instantly to any group or the whole fleet
