Tired of shoehorning Safari, Chrome, or Edge into a "kiosk" with seventeen workarounds and a prayer? Same. SnapKiosk is a purpose-built kiosk browser for iPad. One website. Locked to it. No address bar. No "Search Web" callouts. No mailto: escape hatches. Just your site, full-screen, exactly the way a real kiosk browser should work. Built by a frustrated Intune admin who finally got tired of bumping into walls — turns out the browsers everyone tells you to use weren't designed for this. SnapKiosk was. WHAT IT DOES • Loads one URL on launch and stays there • Auto-resets between users — wipes cookies, cache, local storage, IndexedDB, and HTTP credentials so the next person starts clean • "Still there?" warning before reset, so users mid-task aren't surprised • Floating Back / Home / Forward, no other browser chrome • Hidden admin gate — tap the four corners clockwise + PIN, invisible to customers • QR onboarding — generate one config QR, walk it to every iPad DEPLOY HOW YOU LIKE • Single device — type the URL, set a PIN, walk away • Through MDM — Intune (yuck), Jamf, Mosyle, Kandji, Workspace ONE, JumpCloud, anything that speaks Managed App Configuration • Pair with Apple Configurator + Single App Mode to fully pin the iPad WHO IT'S FOR Self-service check-in, donation kiosks, info displays, registration portals, retail product browsers — anywhere you'd otherwise stand a tablet running a regular browser and hope nobody pokes at it. Made for iPad. Built for iPadOS. Not designed by a giant tech company that thinks "kiosk" is a checkbox.
