This is a kiosk-style browser application that launches a single URL in a full-screen web view and can remember your URL for easy access. The launched browser window doesn't have an address bar or other browser elements such as tabs or a status bar. The app is designed for Guided Access (a.k.a. Kiosk mode) usage on iOS and iPadOS devices.
