Free kiosk software for mac

Kiosk is software that provides basic security for the Mac, similar to Apples At Ease software. Although it provides support for authenticating users, the main features are the ability to restrict which applications may run, and the resetting of the Mac to a "clean" state after a set amount of idle time.
It provides basic security features, including multiple authentication methods (using plug-ins), three user levels (normal, guest, and admin), the ability to allow only specified applications to run, event logging, reauthentication (is that a word?) after a specified amount of idle time, etc. Note that although Kiosk provides some security, it is not the ultimate hard disk/file security package for the Mac, nor is it meant to be.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug where some objects were not getting initialized at startup.
- Can now specify control panel applications (creator code APPC) as well as FileSharing as permitted applications.
- Added "Permit Control Panels and Extension" option if you dont want to add individual files to the permitted apps list.
- PPC version of Kiosk no longer patches ExitToShell but instead uses a CFM termination routine.
- Kiosk now shuts down rather than restart the Mac if it fails during initializing, e.g., if no preferences file exists.
- Kiosk no longer restarts (or shuts down) if it fails during initialization but the Finder is already running.

QT Kiosk is a simple kiosk application that will loop QuickTime media in full screen with an option to password protect it’s termination.

This application maintains the aspect ratio of the media.

The only way to terminate the application while in full screen is “Cmd –q”.

Kiosk Tools are some simple tools and information which may be useful to anyone running a Macintosh based kiosk or computer lab.

One application disables the use of the shift key at startup (thus preventing the disabling of extensions). The other removes the users ability to drop into the debugger with Command-Escape.

ScreenKey consists of several different FileMaker Pro screen savers for the Macintosh.
Opening a screen saver darkens the screen and shows a colorful, animated sequence.
Each screen saver can be password protected. Standard non-kiosk database files that are fully unlocked show you how to configure ScriptMaker to use the screen savers with your own non-kiosk solutions.
The single-user edition of ScreenKey is FREE for personal use. The network edition is just $29.
Enhancements:
- Minor improvements throughout.
- Now FREE for personal use.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
