What UniKiosk is
UniKiosk turns Android tablets, sticks and TV boxes into digital signs, with kiosk lockdown and a web admin panel. It can operate without internet access because content, schedules and its console run on the device. The layout designer uses a proportional grid, supports draft edits and publishing, and retains the last twenty published versions. The maker lists 451 downloadable templates across 44 industries, with landscape, portrait, square and right-to-left layouts. Boards can display configurable RSS feeds, calendar URLs, weather lookups and web pages in a frame. The app is free and supports Android 9.0 or later. It is sideloaded from the maker's website; the maker says its own Play Store listing remains on the roadmap. UniKiosk has no account system, telemetry or analytics, and stores layouts, media and settings in device app storage without syncing them to the maker's servers. Its lockdown is not device-owner mode, and the maker says the power button, safe mode or enabled USB debugging can bypass it.
