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. Guided Access can be used for restaurant menus, conference presentations, or educational sites for children, where the user of the device is not allowed to close the application or navigate away from the presentation content.
