Kodular Improvement Suggestion – Advanced Kiosk/Launcher Features

I would like to suggest new features for Kodular that would greatly help in the development of kiosk applications and enterprise systems.

Currently, many developers use Kodular to create applications that run on dedicated tablets, but some Android system control options are missing.

It would be very useful to add a set of advanced options such as:

  1. AndroidManifest configuration options

Allow configuring some properties directly in the builder, for example:

Setting the application as the default Launcher
Kiosk mode options
Control of special permissions
Activities with singleTask, lockTaskMode, etc.

  1. Kiosk Mode Features

Add blocks or properties to:

Hide status bar
Hide navigation bar
Block back button
Block notifications
Block volume control
Block power button
Prevent quitting the application
Pin the app to the screen (Screen Pinning / Lock Task Mode)

  1. Transform the application into a Kiosk Launcher

An option for the app to function as a custom Launcher, allowing:

Setting a whitelist of applications
Opening allowed apps
Blocking access to system settings
Preventing the installation of new applications

  1. Use Cases

These functionalities would be extremely useful for various projects, such as:

Self-service kiosks
Tablets in restaurants for ordering
Indoor media systems
In-store self-service terminals
Corporate tablets for field teams
Industrial control systems

Today, many developers need to create custom extensions or use external tools to achieve this level of control.

If these features were native to Kodular, it would greatly expand the platform’s use for professional and commercial applications.

100% i agree with you, there few of us who knows how to do this manually but beginners can’t, so that really needed by default.

I remember long time ago, i said something like this, i know kodular teams is working too hard to make our loved platform be the great block-base platform, but to that unique, the kodular team itself must work with whats trend at that time in apps, i always appreciates the platform. There’s somethings that are every app needed, Deep links, PDF viewer, Background Services ( While extensions exist, they are used at our own risk. It would be great if Kodular added an official component and simply warned developers about potential battery or policy issues, leaving the choice to the developer) etc, for kodular to make this platform a one go-to, for example, this link contains needed components (Extension)Search results for 'PAID #extensions' - Kodular Community so as a developer we have to pay to kodular then buy extension too, which makes thing little difficult. How about making the these feature available only in premium? Sound a great idea, whereby people will pay for what they needed to use.

Much respect to Diego and all kodular stuffs.
