What is Kiosk Mode?

Kiosk Mode locks an Android device to exactly the apps you choose — nothing more. In single-app mode, the device runs one application full-screen with all system buttons disabled. In multi-app mode, users see only a curated home screen of approved apps. Add your logo, colors, and wallpaper with the custom launcher. Auto-restart keeps kiosks running 24/7, and you can update the configuration remotely without touching the device.
