What is cage?
Cage is a Wayland kiosk that runs a single, maximized application in a secure, full-screen environment. It is designed for dedicated-use displays, such as information kiosks, digital signage, or embedded systems, where user interaction should be limited to one application. Built on wlroots, it provides a modern, efficient alternative to traditional X11-based kiosk solutions.
Developers and system administrators building kiosk systems, digital signage, or embedded Linux applications that require a secure, full-screen interface. It is particularly useful for those working with Wayland-based environments.
Cage offers a lightweight, secure kiosk solution with minimal overhead, leveraging the Wayland protocol for improved performance and security. Its simplicity and focus on single-application use make it a reliable choice for dedicated display setups.
