Ops dashboards, support consoles, warehouse terminals: take the internal tools your team built in Retool and install them on the machines where the work happens, with kiosk mode, boot launch, and self-updating fleets.
An internal tool in a browser tab competes with every other tab, gets closed by accident, and depends on whoever set up the bookmark. On shared machines, a warehouse floor, a support pod, a front desk, that friction compounds into "the tool nobody has open."
Installed, the same Retool app becomes an appliance: it launches with the machine, fills the screen or sits in the tray, and can't be navigated away from. IT deploys a signed installer once; after that, content updates when you edit the app in Retool, and the shell updates itself.
Yes. The app is a real Chromium environment, so your identity provider flow works like it does in a browser and sessions persist between launches.
That is kiosk mode: fullscreen, frameless, un-closeable, optionally always-on-top, with launch at boot so restarts self-heal. Staff exit through OS-level access you control.
Your Retool edits are live everywhere immediately, exactly like the web. Native shell changes roll out through the built-in auto-updater. Neither requires touching a terminal.
No, any internal tool with a URL works the same way: Appsmith, Budibase, Superblocks, or something your team built in-house.
