Kiosk mode for Android

Updated on January 27th, 2026

Kiosk mode is a lockdown method that can be used to dedicate Android devices for serving a specific use. Miradore offers multiple ways to customize your kiosk devices.

With kiosk mode, you can restrict devices to a single application or multiple applications.

Kiosk devices are normally used as self-check-in and self-service kiosks, digital signage kiosks, or self-operated mobile point-of-sale systems.
