Turn any Android tablet or phone into a full-screen kiosk. HAkiosk locks any
website, web app, or Home Assistant dashboard to the whole screen — no browser bars, no clutter — so an old tablet on the wall becomes a clean, always-on display you control from anywhere.

Perfect for smart-home dashboards, digital signage, café and restaurant menus, conference room panels, retail displays, waiting-room screens, and exhibition booths. If it has a URL, HAkiosk can run it in kiosk mode.

Built fresh for the latest Android with Jetpack Compose and Material 3, HAkiosk is fast, modern, and runs great on everything from a brand-new tablet to an old wall device you want to put back to work (Android 8.1 and up).

WHY HAKIOSK?
• Full-screen, edge-to-edge kiosk display for any webpage or dashboard
• Point it at any URL — a website, an internal web app, or Home Assistant
• Made for wall-mounted tablets, info displays, and dedicated kiosk devices
• Lightweight, reliable, and built to stay on 24/7

FLEET CONTROL — MANAGE EVERY DEVICE FROM ONE DASHBOARD
Run one screen or a hundred. Pair your devices and manage them all from any browser at hakiosk.com/control:
• Push the URL, zoom, dark mode, and screensaver to one device or your whole fleet
• Group tablets by room, store, or location and update them all at once
• Refresh, wake, or pull a live screenshot remotely — no walking to the wall
• See which devices are online at a glance, and lock or unlock any of them
• Android and iPad/iPhone devices live side by side in one workspace

PHOTO SCREENSAVER — IMMICH ALBUM OR LOCAL FOLDER
Show your photos on the idle screen instead of the clock:
• An album from your Immich server, or any folder of pictures on the tablet — needs no server or account
• Photos copy to the tablet, so the slideshow keeps running when the wifi drops or the server is down
• Change picture every 5 seconds to every 5 minutes
• Using Google Photos? Sync an album to a folder and point HAkiosk at it
• Included, not a Pro feature

SMART SCREENSAVER (MQTT)
Connect to your MQTT broker and let the screen react to the room in real time:
• Trigger a screensaver when a room is empty, then wake instantly on motion
• Swap dashboards automatically — show lights when a lamp turns on, or a different view per room
• Drive it from any Home Assistant automation, motion sensor, or occupancy topic

WAKE WHEN SOMEONE WALKS UP (CAMERA — PRO)
• The front camera watches for a face and brings the screen back as you approach
• Analysed on device — nothing is recorded, stored, or uploaded
• Off until turned on via Android's permission prompt, and active only when the screensaver is running

KIOSK LOCKDOWN FOR PUBLIC DISPLAYS
• PIN lock protects settings and navigation so visitors can't wander off
• Screen Pinning lockdown keeps the device inside HAkiosk
• Optional home-launcher mode relaunches your page on every exit
• Auto-start on boot brings a wall tablet back after a reboot or power cut

MODERN, POLISHED EXPERIENCE
• True dark mode that darkens the web page itself, not just the app chrome
• Dynamic color that adapts to your wallpaper on Android 12+
• Live zoom that applies instantly with no page reload
• Simple corner long-press navigation that never fights Android gestures
• Clean themed error page with one-tap reload when a page can't load

PERFECT FOR
• Home Assistant wall panels and smart-home dashboards
• Digital signage and info screens for shops, offices, and lobbies
• Café, bar, and restaurant menu boards
• Conference rooms, waiting rooms, exhibitions, and trade-show booths
• Anyone who wants a dedicated, always-on full-screen display

HAkiosk is the simple way to run any website or dashboard in full-screen kiosk mode on Android. Mount a tablet, point it at a URL, and let your content take over the screen — then manage every device from one place with Fleet Control.
