Kioskit

Kioskit is an interesting and efficient piece of software developed to function as an Internet browser that can offer you a means of transforming a web application into a kiosk one, which cannot be shutdown by other people.

Kiosk apps are meant to lockdown the program, using a set of access credentials or other similar methods, in order to protect it from end-users, by limiting their actions within a fairly restricted frame.

Subsequent to the installation process of Kioskit, you can launch the program and start working with it right away, as its intuitive and accessible functionality makes it approachable even for less experienced individuals.

The browser is built on the Chromium engine, which means it is sufficiently fast and reliable, while also being able to withstand your web app, due to the high degree of compatibility that it provides.

The initial screen of Kioskit allows you to input the URL of your project and opt between ‘Manual Startup’ or ‘Auto Startup’, depending on your preferences.

The browser is will automatically launch in full screen mode, offering no possibility of minimizing or resizing its window, so no one aside from the person knowing the account credentials can exit the utility or access other areas on the host computer.

While there are a series of keyboard shortcuts which allow you to escape the utility, only by entering the proper username and password will they prove effective in exiting the kiosk app.

To sum it up, Kioskit is a useful and reliable browser which aims to help you work with your web app in kiosk mode, proving particularly useful on public computers, where numerous people have access to it.
