Any screen
Or just a browser.
A plain browser works on anything. These are three ways to leave a display up, from nothing to install to a dedicated app.
Any screen
nothing to install- Open the display in whatever browser the screen already has.
- Go full screen:
F11 on Windows and Linux, ⌃⌘F on macOS. - Or give it a browser of its own, which is what a dedicated panel wants:
chrome --kiosk <url> — on macOS, open -a "Google Chrome" --args --kiosk <url>. - Turn off display sleep in the machine’s power settings and walk away.
Works on anything with a browserMac desktop
LivingKiosk app- Get the app and its install steps at livingkiosk.com/mac. It isn’t notarized yet, so macOS asks you to approve it once.
- Menu bar → Library… and pick a display for each screen.
- Configure… on any screen for its reload schedule, dim, and saved configs.

via Fully Kiosk- On any Android tablet, install Fully Kiosk Browser.
- Settings → Web Content → Start URL: the display’s address.
- Under Device Management, keep the screen on and set a dim schedule so it isn’t glaring at 3am.
- Turn on Start on Boot so a power blip brings the display back by itself.
