18 Best Android Kiosk Software in 2026

Scalefusion began journey as MobiLock, a kiosk app, and kiosk mode is still where it does a great job. Even the entry plan gives you single-app and multi-app kiosks for Android and iOS, a branded launcher with your logo and status bar colors, and a kiosk browser with website allowlisting.

Single-app mode blocks hardware keys and navigation, and you control peripherals like the camera and USB. From the Growth plan up, Presentation Mode turns a device into a digital sign that loops content or runs a screensaver, pulling files from Google Drive if you like.

Devices enroll by QR code, zero-touch, or Samsung Knox on every plan. Scalefusion is certified by Google as Android Enterprise Recommended. Remote Control 2.0, released lately, lets up to five admins join one session with screen annotations and voice.

The same console manages Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS on higher plans, so a kiosk pilot can grow into company-wide device management without switching tools.

SureLock from 42Gears is one of the longest-running kiosk apps for Android, and it locks devices down hard. You can disable the status bar, notification panel, and power button, block factory reset, the camera, and screenshots, and control Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and screen orientation.

Driver Safety Mode is a standout. It disables the touchscreen and hardware keys once the vehicle passes a speed you set, which trucking and delivery fleets use to keep drivers off their devices on the road.

SureLock also works without a server. You configure one device, export the settings file, and import it on the rest, which helps small or offline deployments. For fleets, you manage it through SureMDM, 42Gears’ device management platform, which is Android Enterprise Recommended and adds remote control, location tracking, and zero-touch or Knox enrollment.

Web kiosks run through SureFox, a separate lockdown browser, and signage through SureVideo. All three apps come at no extra cost with any SureMDM plan, which makes SureMDM the better buy beyond a handful of devices.

AirDroid Business is a well-regarded MDM solution for remotely managing and monitoring Android and Windows endpoints from one platform.

Beyond device lockdown, AirDroid Kiosk Mode combines secure access controls with AI-assisted workflows that streamline routine IT tasks, cut manual effort, and speed up issue resolution.

From deployment and configuration to real-time monitoring and remote support, IT teams can manage and automate the entire device lifecycle in AirDroid Business, which keeps business-critical devices available and downtime low.

Here are four key features:

1. AI-assisted workflows: Monitor Kiosk Mode status with automated tasks to reduce manual work. Tasks connect to AI-assisted workflows that collect device context to analyze detected issues, run and verify approved recovery actions, prioritize unresolved cases, send notifications across systems, and generate incident reports.
2. Single and multi-app mode: IT admins can lock Android devices into single-app or multi-app kiosk mode to prevent misuse and excess data usage.
3. Custom layout: The kiosk home screen can be customized with your logo, wallpaper, and icon sizes to suit different industries and use cases.
4. Website allowlist: Allow only the websites a kiosk needs, which reduces exposure to anything else. You can create allowlists to limit what the kiosk browser can open.

You can choose cloud or on-premises deployment based on your business data security and infrastructure needs. Start with a 14-day free trial.

Hexnode’s strength is breadth. One console locks down Android phones and tablets, iPads, Windows PCs, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire tablets. If your kiosks and screens are a mix of hardware, that saves running two or three tools.

On Android you get single-app, multi-app, and web app kiosks, where a URL behaves like an app. The Hexnode Kiosk Browser has three modes: a single tab, multiple tabs limited to allowed sites, and a full-screen web view with refresh. That lets web-based kiosks go live without building a native app. Digital signage loops images and video on Android and Android TV.

You can disable hardware and software keys, system bars, and network connections, and brand the Hexnode Kiosk Launcher. Hexnode goes deep with device makers, including Samsung Knox with firmware control, LG, and Kyocera, with silent app installs on those devices.

Its Genie AI assistant got a major upgrade with a conversational console and guided fixes, but it’s only on the quote-based Ultra plan.

Esper is built for companies whose devices run their own app, such as a restaurant’s ordering tablet, a retailer’s POS, or a check-in screen. It treats the fleet like software. You define how devices, apps, and content should look in a Blueprint, and Esper flags any device that drifts from it.

Kiosk mode pins your app through the Esper agent, and only an admin can exit. Multi-app mode uses Esper’s launcher, and a convertible kiosk setup lets the main app open other approved apps. You can switch the kiosk app remotely.

Esper is unusual in managing both Google-certified devices and AOSP hardware without Google services in the same console. That opens up cheaper or custom hardware. It also sells Esper Foundation, a managed Android build for device makers.

They also released Airwave, a firmware update service with staged rollouts and automatic rollback.

For web kiosks, the Titanium browser blocks every URL unless you allow it and starts each session clean. It’s a $2 per device add-on. Software pipelines on the top plan let you roll app updates out in stages, and Edgebox caches apps and updates locally for stores with slow internet.

SOTI MobiControl runs some of the largest rugged fleets around warehouse scanners, delivery handhelds, and hospital devices from Zebra, Honeywell, Samsung, Panasonic, and Datalogic. It can configure scanners, buttons, and firmware on those devices from the same console that locks them down, so you don’t need each maker’s own tool.

Lockdown replaces the home screen with only the apps and websites you approve, built from HTML templates or SOTI Snap. You choose whether the Home button, keyguard, and power menu work.

Shared devices got a lot of attention in the last two releases. They added a Lockdown setup wizard and Authenticated Lockdown, which gives each worker a different set of apps when they sign in. Conditional Lockdown turns on by itself if a device leaves a geofence, loses contact, or hits a critical battery.

In May 2026, they added PIN and NFC sign-in and a custom unlock screen that logs out the previous worker, which speeds up shift changes.

SOTI Surf is a lockable, brandable browser for web kiosks such as menus and info screens. You can run MobiControl in the cloud or on your own servers.

ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus is a general device management tool with robust kiosk features at some of the lowest published prices here. The free edition covers up to 25 devices with every feature, which is enough to run a small kiosk rollout for real.

You get single-app and multi-app kiosks, web kiosks that hide the address bar, and a timed mode that locks a device to one app for a set period and then exits on its own. You can customize the home screen layout and wallpaper and pick which hardware buttons stay active.

The MDM Secure Browser can clear cache and cookies and block copy and paste, admins can stop users from clearing app storage, and Zebra Enterprise Reset. Every edition supports QR, zero-touch, NFC, and Samsung Knox enrollment.

It runs in the cloud or on your own servers, with a perpetual license option, which is rare now.

Fully Kiosk Browser is an Android app that turns almost any tablet into a web kiosk or info screen. There’s no MDM and no subscription needed for local lockdown, just a one-time license per device.

It shows a website full screen with allowlists and blocklists for URLs, or locks the device to one app. A Universal Launcher can mix apps, bookmarks, and files. You can block the Home button, status bar, power and volume keys, and notifications.

Motion detection is the feature people remember. The front camera, microphone, or proximity sensor can wake the screen when someone walks up, and face detection is available too. Screensaver playlists handle signage.

Developers get a JavaScript interface, a REST API, and MQTT, so a web page can control the device, scan barcodes, or speak text. That’s also why it’s a favorite for Home Assistant wall dashboards. Fully Cloud adds fleet management, with basic features free for license holders and remote admin and alerts on a subscription.

KioWare has been building kiosk software for public use for a long time. Its browser kiosk clears cookies and cache between visitors, recovers on its own after a crash, filters the on-screen keyboard, and controls pop-ups.

Attract screens loop content while the kiosk is idle, and an inactivity timer ends each session with an optional warning first. You can add a branded toolbar and custom hotkeys. On Samsung devices, it can hide the navigation bar and control the power, back, and home keys through Knox.

The Enterprise tier supports card readers, barcode scanners, and RFID readers, which self-checkout and payment kiosks need. KioCloud or the self-hosted KioWare Server handles monitoring, alerts, remote configuration, and uptime reports.

One license can run on Android, Windows, or Linux, which helps if your kiosks are mixed.

TinyMDM’s every feature comes with every plan, and a device costs about $2 a month. Google has approved it across Android Enterprise management modes, including kiosk.

You pick single-app or multi-app kiosk, then choose how strict it is. Classic mode blocks notifications, shutdown, Recents, and Home. Open mode keeps the status bar but still limits settings. The launcher takes your logo, colors, and wallpaper, and individual apps can be password-protected.

Shared sessions are a strong point. People sign in to a temporary session, and app data is wiped when they sign out, which suits patient tablets, loaner devices, and classroom sets. Built-in internet filtering has four levels plus allow and block lists.

Enrollment works through QR code, zero-touch, or Knox Mobile Enrollment.

If your kiosks are Galaxy tablets or phones, Samsung’s own tool reaches deeper into the hardware than anything else. Knox Manage can remap or block hardware keys, block the power-off menu and status bar, and even set custom boot and shutdown animations, all without custom development.

The Kiosk Wizard builds single-app or multi-app kiosks by drag and drop. You set up to five wallpapers, a logo, status bar colors, icon grid, and a screen-lock PIN. Helper apps such as emergency calls can stay available, and a tile lets staff clear app data between users. A kiosk browser covers web use.

Knox Mobile Enrollment sets up devices in bulk, and rules can change policies by time, location, network, or SIM.

Knox Manage is certified as Android Enterprise Recommended and handles other platforms too, but most of its kiosk advantages only apply to Samsung devices.

Many companies already pay for Intune through Microsoft 365 E3 or E5. If that’s you, Android kiosks can be used in the same console as your Windows laptops and iPhones, with the same identity and policies.

Intune calls kiosks dedicated devices. Single-app mode locks the device to one app. Multi-app mode runs Managed Home Screen, Microsoft’s launcher, with a custom grid, folders, and wallpaper. You can block the power menu, volume, status bar, and Settings, and set a PIN to exit.

Shared devices get a session PIN and automatic sign-out after inactivity, tied into Microsoft Entra shared device mode. Now you can pause and restore kiosk mode remotely, and later updates added custom top-bar text, a screen timeout setting, stay-awake while charging, and eSIM management.

Enrollment supports tokens, QR codes, NFC, zero-touch, and Knox Mobile Enrollment. Remote Help costs extra unless you have Plan 2 or the Intune Suite.
