The app
Install and first pairing
Three steps and the tablet is in service. On pairing, the app fetches everything from the server — address, allowed domains, purpose and lock.
Download Kioskbase (test build)
The test build carries a watermark. The production build will follow once the signed package ships. Service build with diagnostics: download debug.
Steps
-
Download and install
Open this page in the tablet's browser and tap the button above. Android asks about installing from an unknown source — allow it for the browser.
-
Enter the six-digit code
The code is generated by the admin when the device is created and is valid for ten minutes. Nothing else is configured on the tablet.

Recommended: device owner
On a factory-reset tablet (no Google account), one USB command:
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.kioskbase/.SpravcaZariadenia. It enables the hard lock, silent updates and remote reboot of the whole tablet.
Without the app — browser only
A device that cannot run the Android app — an iPad, a TV, a Windows terminal — can be paired too: open kioskbase.com/pair in its browser and enter the same six-digit code.
| Works | remote purpose and address switching, presence in the overview |
| Does not work | screen lock, updates, restart, screenshot, telemetry — all of that needs the app |
An honest mode for screens that just need to "show this and be switchable". A terminal that must survive people belongs to the app.
