What is kiosk-browser?

Kiosk Browser is an Android app designed for situations where a tablet, display screen, or other device needs to permanently show a single website: queue management dashboards, wall-mounted information displays, waiting room screens, and similar setups. It opens a configurable URL automatically every time it launches, so the device boots straight into the desired page without any extra steps. The toolbar with the address bar and navigation buttons hides itself automatically during normal use and can be revealed by pulling down on the page. The app supports the full set of browser controls you would expect: back, forward, reload, home, find in page, and a desktop-site toggle. It enforces HTTPS-only navigation, meaning regular HTTP addresses are blocked for security. Automated session-clearing policies can wipe cookies and storage on a schedule, which is useful for shared public devices. Optional Android screen pinning and startup-domain restriction can lock the device to just the configured site. One feature stands out: a built-in remote control system. From another device on the same network, you scan a QR code shown in the browser's menu, and you can then move a cursor on the kiosk screen, tap, scroll, type, and navigate, without any screen mirroring. This is useful for managing displays that are physically mounted out of easy reach. The app has no ads, no analytics, no required accounts, and no third-party runtime dependencies beyond Android System WebView, which is the Chromium-based browser component that ships with Android. It supports Android 6.0 and newer. A prebuilt APK is available from the project's GitHub releases page, and the source can be built with Android Studio using a standard Gradle command.
