KingKiosk vs MultiBrow

King Kiosk is the world's first Programmable Display Runtime — turn any iPad or iPhone into a multi-window display surface you can compose, control, and orchestrate in real time over MQTT. It's not digital signage. It's not a kiosk. It's not a dashboard. It's all of those — and none of them — because you decide what every screen becomes by sending it instructions. A REAL WINDOWING SYSTEM ON iOS Run a clock, a weather widget, a live camera feed, a Home Assistant panel, and a media player on the same screen, each in its own resizable, independently controllable tile. Floating mode for pixel-perfect layouts, or tiling mode for automatic, non-overlapping grids. 35+ BUILT-IN WIDGETS Clocks, weather, media player, YouTube, image carousels, gauges, charts, maps, calendars, PDF viewer, animated text, RSS feeds, MQTT-driven images and buttons, an Alarmo security panel, an LED light panel, DLNA player, an intercom, games, and a real-time canvas widget for declarative graphics. MQTT-NATIVE FROM THE GROUND UP Every widget, every layout, every system setting is addressable over MQTT. 100+ commands. Build automations in Home Assistant, Node-RED, or any tool that speaks MQTT. Save entire layouts as named "screen states" and recall them on schedule. DEEP HOME ASSISTANT INTEGRATION Auto-discovers itself to Home Assistant. Publishes sensor data (battery, network, location, presence). Responds to automations. Bidirectional calendar sync. Person and object detection feeds straight into HA. AI VOICE CONTROL Connect to Home Assistant conversation agents, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or local Ollama. Your displays can listen, understand, and respond. INTERCOM & BROADCAST Two-way WebRTC audio between devices, room-to-room paging, and full-fleet broadcast — built on the same engine as professional installed-audio gear. PRIVACY-FIRST, LOCAL-FIRST Your data stays on your network. Crash reports are off by default and explicitly opt-in. No analytics. No tracking. No cloud lock-in. GUIDED ACCESS KIOSK MODE Lock the device to King Kiosk for wall-mounted iPads, lobby displays, intercom stations, or smart-home control panels. Optional command signing (HMAC) for enterprise deployments. BUILT FOR FLEETS Deploy one device or a thousand. Replicate layouts across an entire fleet with a single MQTT message. Schedule layout changes by time of day or day of week. --- A new category for every screen. Visit kingkiosk.kallinnovations.com to see what's possible. Patent pending.

MultiBrow is a browser in which every container has its own cookies and its own sign-ins. Stay signed in to the same service with several accounts at once and switch with a single tap, instead of signing out and back in over and over. Safari cannot do this: all Safari tabs share a single cookie store, so a second sign-in to the same service ends the first. Private Browsing separates sessions but discards them on close. MultiBrow keeps every sign-in persistent and isolated — using a separate WebKit data store per container, a system feature introduced with iOS 17. WHAT IT IS FOR • A personal and a work account on the same service, side by side • Several clients or tenants, each in its own container • Keeping a test and a production login apart • A second account without disturbing the first one in Safari FEATURES • An overview of all containers as the home screen — create, rename and delete them, each with its own symbol and colour; deleting removes the entire data store • A freely chosen start page per container; the app is not tied to any particular website • Bookmarks per container: save, rename, reorder • History per container, with search and grouped by day • Downloads with progress, preview and export to the Files app • Lock individual containers with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode • Find on page • Siri Shortcuts and Spotlight: open a container by voice or straight from search • A real iPad app on iPad: Split View, Stage Manager, all orientations, keyboard shortcuts • Switch from a bar at the top • An address field per container: type an address or search directly • Optionally stay on the start page: links to other sites then open in Safari • Automatic reload after the app has been in the background for more than 30 seconds, keeping pages current whose connection dropped meanwhile • Pull to refresh; long-press reload clears the cache without losing the sign-in • Up to twelve containers loaded at once; under memory pressure background containers unload automatically • Open the current page in Safari • Usage limits at a glance: when a website reports how much of an allowance is used up and when it resets, the overview shows this per container as bars — usage against elapsed time, so you can see at once whether it is going to be tight. Useful above all with AI services that work in hourly and weekly windows, such as claude.ai. The figures come from the website itself; MultiBrow only reads along and requests nothing • Keep the screen awake if you want to • Interface in German and English PRIVACY MultiBrow collects no data. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no developer servers. Cookies and sign-ins stay on your device, separated per container, managed by Apple's WebKit. Bookmarks, history and downloaded files stay on your device as well. Unlocking a container is handled by the system; the app only learns whether it succeeded and never sees your biometric data. NOTE MultiBrow uses the system web engine. Websites behave as they do in Safari; their operators are responsible for their content and data processing.
