Android signage & kiosk lockdown

Any screen, locked down.
No cloud. No account.

UniKiosk turns an Android tablet, stick or TV box into a digital sign that runs on its own, and you can manage it directly via a web admin panel. Free at any number of screens, with nothing to subscribe to.

What it is

Three products, one install.

Every competitor sells these separately, and most sell only the first.

A signage player

Grid layouts built from 26 widgets: media, clocks, feeds, calendars and live data.

A kiosk lockdown

Bars hidden, keys swallowed, PIN to leave. Survives a reboot and a power cut.

A web admin panel

Manage it directly from any browser on the network, on port 8080. Nothing else to install.

The console

The panel serves
its own admin.

No portal, no tenant, no seat to buy. Open a browser on the same network and point it at the device — or let it announce itself over SSDP and click the one that appears.

Register a screen once, then assign any layout to it.
Boards swap in seconds, with no restart and no re-provisioning.
Its own password, separate from the on-device admin PIN.

The designer

Design once.
Show anywhere.

Drag widgets onto a proportional grid. Layouts are stored in cells rather than pixels, so one design fits a wall screen and a portrait totem without being rebuilt.

Edits land in a draft; the wall keeps showing the published board.
The last twenty published versions stay one press away.
Upload a typeface and every widget can use it, right-to-left included.

The layout designer: widget palette on the left, the grid canvas in the middle, the layer list below.

One design, any panel

A totem, a wall screen,
a lift, a door.

The grid is proportional, so the same board is composed for whatever it lands on — and the fitting is usually decided by the building, not by you.

Standing kiosk: A totem on a long stand, in a foyer or a concourse where nobody can mount anything. — **Standing kiosk**A totem on a long stand, in a foyer or a concourse where nobody can mount anything.

Wall-mounted TV: The ordinary case: a television on a bracket, running the same board as everything else. — **Wall-mounted TV**The ordinary case: a television on a bracket, running the same board as everything else.

Ceiling-mounted TV: Hung off a track above a mall walkway or a queue, read from a distance and from below. — **Ceiling-mounted TV**Hung off a track above a mall walkway or a queue, read from a distance and from below.

The difference

Everyone else needs
a data centre.

Cloud signage sells you convenience and hands you a dependency. When the uplink drops, the vendor has an outage, or the card expires, the wall goes dark.

UniKiosk keeps the content, the schedule and the console on the panel. The internet is something your widgets use, not something the product needs to stay alive.

How offline works

The offline screen: a support number, a retry button and a countdown, in the operator's own branding. — When something does break, it says so in your branding — not with a browser error page.

Templates

451 boards,
already written.

A layout is a plain JSON file. Download one, import it in the console, change the words. Build a board once and it moves to every other panel as a file, not as a migration.

Landscape, portrait and square, in light and dark.
Right-to-left Persian and Arabic boards included.
Rendered by the app's own engine, so a preview cannot flatter it.
