Your TV home,
Your TV home,
the way couchy feels.
A fast, private, one-screen launcher for Android TV & Google TV.
No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Just your apps.
Free & open source (GPLv3) · 18 languages · works on old boxes too
It isn't clever. It's just a launcher, done right.
One screen, remote-driven, for 1080p and 4K TVs. No network requests out of the box — the wallpaper is a local gradient and every setting lives in a single file on the device.
Zero network traffic by default
everything, one screen
Made for the remote in your hand
D-pad only. No touchscreen, no companion app, no Google Play Services required.
📁
Sections you own
Rename, reorder and fill your own sections. An app can live in several; new installs land in the first.

Wallpapers
Gradients, your own photo, a looping video, or optional aerial videos — with speed control and cross-fades.

Export your whole setup — sections, layout, wallpaper and every setting — to a single JSON file.
