Keep Bucket Browser on screen

Use the controls built into your device to keep a student in Bucket Browser during a lesson.

This is a device convenience, not a substitute for adult supervision or a complete parental-control system.

iPhone and iPad: Guided Access

Apple’s Guided Access temporarily restricts the device to one app.

Open Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access and turn it on.
Open Passcode Settings, create a Guided Access passcode, and optionally enable Face ID or Touch ID.
Open Bucket Browser, triple-click the side, top, or Home button, choose session options, then tap Start.
To finish, triple-click the same button and authenticate.

Android can keep one app visible until the screen is unpinned.

Open Settings → Security and find App pinning. Names vary by device.
Turn on app pinning and require the device PIN, pattern, or password to unpin.
Open Bucket Browser, open the app overview, tap the Bucket Browser icon, and choose Pin.
Use the displayed button or gesture combination to unpin, then authenticate.

Names and gestures vary by Android version and device maker.

Windows offers Assigned Access for kiosk and restricted-user experiences. Availability depends on the Windows edition and app packaging.

Confirm the device runs a supported Windows edition, then open Settings → Accounts → Other users.
Under Set up a kiosk, select Get started and create or choose the local school account.
Select Bucket Browser only if Windows lists it as an eligible kiosk app. Otherwise use a restricted-user configuration.
Sign in to the assigned account and test both the locked experience and administrator exit path.

Exact Bucket Browser compatibility with Windows single-app Assigned Access will be confirmed before the Windows release.
