Android Kiosk Mode for Secure, Dedicated Devices
Configure single-app, multi-app, web kiosk, or branded launcher experiences, then deploy and support them remotely from one MDM console.
What is Android kiosk mode?
Android kiosk mode turns a company-owned device into a dedicated endpoint for one app, an approved app set, a website, or a branded launcher. Nomid MDM centralizes the restrictions, app deployment, configuration changes, and remote support needed to operate those devices at scale.

Turn devices into locked-down web browsers
