Tacktab

Pin a tablet to one page.

Your Home Assistant dashboard, a check-in screen, a sign. Tacktab shows it full screen, keeps it awake, starts with the tablet, and locks it so nobody wanders off.

Free · Pro $5.99 once · No account · No tracking

A home dashboard: clock, weather, today's calendar, lights by room, heating and dishwasher status.

Pins.

Your page, full screen, all day. Tacktab starts with the tablet, keeps the screen on, and reloads by itself when the network comes back.

Locks.

Nobody leaves the page. On Android, Home, Recents and notifications stay closed, even after a restart. On iPad, Tacktab works with Guided Access. Settings can sit behind a PIN.

Listens.

Turn the screen off at night and on in the morning, or change the page when the doorbell rings. From Home Assistant or any script on your network.

Up on the wall in a minute.

  1. Install Tacktab on the tablet.
  2. Type the page address, like 192.168.1.10:8123/kitchen.
  3. Hold the top-left corner for three seconds to open settings, lock the tablet and connect Home Assistant.
Tacktab settings
The one thing to remember: hold the top-left corner for 3 seconds. The app shows you on first start, and a ring fills while you hold.

Free to pin. Pro to lock it down.

Everything that shows your page is free. Pro is one purchase, not a subscription, and it unlocks every tablet signed in to your Google or Apple account. Try it free for 24 hours first.
