Clean TV
Remove the ads and bloat from your Android TV or Google TV. Nothing is uninstalled. Everything can be undone.
Your TV came with sponsored rows, content pushes, telemetry, and apps you never asked for. Clean TV builds a small kit for your exact TV model that switches all of it off. The kit is generated on this page, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
How it works
1. Pick your TV
Choose your model and the system it runs. Tested package lists cover five TVs today. Any other Android TV or Google TV can use the assistant prompt instead.
2. Tell us what to keep
Voice assistant, casting, firmware updates, USB media, game mode. What you keep stays on. The rest of the tested list goes in your kit.
3. Download and run your kit
Run the kit from a computer on the same Wi-Fi as the TV, or hand the included prompt file to a coding assistant and let it drive the whole job.
Safe by design
- Packages are disabled, never uninstalled. Every app stays on the TV, switched off.
- A restore script is in every kit. It re-enables everything and puts the stock home screen back.
- The back up step comes first. The script saves your full package list before it changes anything.
- Works on Android TV and Google TV only.
- Samsung TVs (Tizen) and LG TVs (webOS) are not supported. Their systems have no way to do this cleanup. Fire TV is not supported for the launcher step either, because it will not let another home screen take over. Own a Fire TV? See Home Market Setup for what we can set up there instead.
Tunegether TV Home
The clean home screen that finishes the job. Pitch black, no ads, no sponsored rows: a dock of your apps at the bottom with Tunegether first, the rest of your apps in a grid, and a large clock when the TV rests.

Android TV and Google TV only. It cannot take over the home screen on Fire TV, Samsung, or LG TVs. The Clean TV kit below includes the install steps.
Build your kit
Four short steps. Your kit is built in your browser when you tap download. We never see your answers.
2 Which TV is it?
Not listed? Pick the last option. Your kit then holds the assistant prompt and the README, and the assistant discovers the packages on your TV itself.
3 What do you want to keep?
Everything starts on. Untick anything you do not use, and the packages behind it go into the kit. Some choices hold nothing back on some models, and the line under the list says so when that is the case.
4 Your kit
Save all five in one folder. Read the README first. After you run a script, you can turn USB debugging back off on the TV.

Where this comes from
Clean TV is built on the open source tv-vibehack project by Gathin (MIT License). Package lists come from its community tested examples. The Tunegether TV Home launcher above is built from the tv-vibehack launcher (MIT). If Clean TV helps you, the original project is worth a star.
