TRKS Kiosk turns an iPad into a kiosk: it shows a single web page, full screen, with no address bar or distractions, for your whole event. Instead of typing a long address on every iPad, create a 6-character code on trks.ca. Enter it in the app and your content opens full screen, ready for visitors. MADE FOR EVENTS • Check-in, surveys, forms, schedules, presentations, games, videos: any web content works. • Trade shows, conferences, exhibits, museums, product launches, reception desks. • Deploy the same content on 1 or 50 iPads in seconds. A KIOSK THAT LASTS ALL DAY • Automatic recovery: if the Wi-Fi drops, the app retries on its own and reloads the page as soon as the network is back. • Offline start: the address behind each code is remembered. • If the page crashes, it reloads automatically: no more blank screens. • Returns to the start page after inactivity, with optional data clearing between visitors. • The screen never goes to sleep. LOCKED FOR VISITORS • Works with iPadOS Guided Access: the app shows how to turn it on in three steps. • Locks itself on supervised iPads (Apple Configurator or MDM). • Zoom, text selection, long-press menus and image dragging are blocked. • Links to other apps (phone, email, App Store) are blocked. • Orientation can be locked in landscape or portrait. BUILT FOR THE CREW ON SITE • Hidden operator menu: hold three fingers for 5 seconds, or tap a secret corner sequence. • Reload, change content or open settings without leaving the app. • Production Mode: content opens at launch and every setting is hidden. • Optional pull to refresh. PRIVATE CODES TRKS codes are not public links: they're for your team to set up kiosks. Create them and track their usage on trks.ca. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no personal data about your visitors. Free. Designed and maintained by Apidom Studio, a creative technology studio for events and brand experiences.
