Your apps, front and center
Your favorite apps sit in one row. Everything else is one press down, in the tray.
NemuiTV free for Google TV
A calmer home screen for your TV
NemuiTV swaps the busy Google TV home screen for a simple one: your apps in a row, over a video wallpaper you pick. No ads and no clutter.
- Free and open source
- For Google TV devices
- Home Assistant integration
What you get
Video wallpapers you pick
Add your own looping videos and they play behind your apps. Until you do, it shows a calm dark gradient.
A Control Center on the Home button
Tap Home for NemuiTV. Hold it for the Control Center: a Wi-Fi QR code for guests, the next wallpaper, and settings.
Music and a big clock
When music is playing, a Now Playing banner opens into a small player. It can be your screensaver too, with a big clock.
Home Assistant integration
Connect your Home Assistant and your TV becomes a remote for your home:
- rooms, lights and scenes
- the thermostat, and whether the door is locked
- a doorbell pop-up and banners like “Washer done”
- the weather next to the clock
Don’t use Home Assistant? NemuiTV still works as a clean launcher, and nothing nags you to set it up.
How setup works
You’ll need
- A Google TV device. NemuiTV is built and tested on the Google TV Streamer. A Chromecast with Google TV should work, but it’s slower and needs smaller wallpapers.
- A Mac, Windows or Linux computer on the same Wi-Fi as the TV, for the one-time setup.
- Wireless debugging turned on in the TV’s Developer options. The setup script walks you through pairing.
Three steps
- Download NemuiTV from its GitHub page, under Releases.
- Run the setup script on your computer. It sends the app to your TV over Wi-Fi with Google’s adb tool, and asks before it downloads anything.
- Press Home on your remote. NemuiTV now answers the Home button. Google’s home screen stays installed, and the undo script gives the button back.
It’s free
NemuiTV is free and open source, under the MIT license. It’s a hobby project: there’s no support promise, and it isn’t on the Play Store.
