xStand (formerly known as wKiosk) is a Mac OS X web browser built from the ground up to present web-based content or run web apps in a stable and safe way.
Being usually used in public access terminals in museums or libraries, the xStand app may also be set as the default web browser for all members of an organization or company.
xStand will help administrators to allow access to only a limited number of web sites, restrict direct access to the operating system and its settings, or to block downloading files and applications from the Internet if needed.
Because xStand is developed using WebKit (Apple's Safari Engine), users will also benefit from all the features this modern technology has to offer.
