App Container

Your HTML5 projects. Running like native Android™ apps. | 14-DAY FREE TRIAL FOR PREMIUM FEATURES

App Container transforms your web-based projects into full-screen, touch-optimized experiences on Android™, running directly on your device instead of in a standard web browser. Import once, launch instantly, and deliver a truly native feel from any HTML5 project.

Purpose-built for system integrators, developers, designers, automation professionals, homeowners, and facility managers who need reliable, self-contained interfaces on mobile devices and tablets — without writing native code or maintaining complex backend infrastructure.

Common use cases include:

• Conference and meeting rooms

• Smart homes and apartments

• Building management systems (BMS) and technical rooms

• Museums and galleries

• Educational spaces, classrooms, and labs

• Kiosks, showrooms, and demo stations

• Any Android-based touch panel

Compatible with HTML5-based interfaces from leading automation platforms, including Crestron® CH5, AMX®, NETIO®, Node-RED, and Home Assistant.

KEY FEATURES:

• Native App Experience
Launch your HTML5 project full-screen with touch support and no browser UI (address bar, tabs). It looks, feels, and behaves like a real Android application.

• Offline-First Operation
Projects are stored and executed directly on the device, ensuring they work flawlessly in conference rooms, smart homes, museums, or secure offline facilities — regardless of internet connectivity.

• Optimized for Local Network Environments
LAN-based interfaces for automation and control are often incompatible with standard mobile browsers due to strict cross-origin policies (CORS) and local certificate requirements. App Container is purpose-built for on-device and LAN-based deployments, handling these details seamlessly so your local control interfaces perform exactly as intended.

• Easy Project Management
Import projects via .zip archives, download directly from secure URLs, or install built-in demo projects with a single tap. Switch between active projects instantly.

• Broad Automation Platform Support
Natively supports the .ch5z project format as a flexible, vendor-neutral alternative to official apps — and works seamlessly with HTML5 interfaces from AMX®, NETIO®, Node-RED, Home Assistant, and any other platform that delivers a web-based UI. Deploy your way, on your preferred Android hardware.

• Customizable Experience
Configure URL parameters, manage screen display settings (keep screen on, lock orientation), and fine-tune how each project behaves on your specific tablet or phone.

• Remote API Access (Premium)
Control and manage your projects remotely from any device on your local network — an ideal tool for on-site commissioning, system monitoring, and live demonstrations.

• Professional Features (Premium)
Unlock unlimited project storage, remote API management, advanced URL parameter controls, priority support, and access to all future updates.
