What is CleanYourTV?

CleanYourTV is an open-source project that removes advertisements and preinstalled software from Android TV and Google TV devices. It operates over a local network using ADB commands, so no root access is required. The tool backs up your current package list and settings before making any changes, ensuring full reversibility.

Users paste a structured prompt into a terminal-based coding assistant, which then connects to the TV, disables unwanted manufacturer packages, and installs a lightweight Apple TV-style launcher. The project includes verified debloat lists for 398 television models across 104 brands. The custom launcher interface is available in 31 languages.

For non-Android televisions like Samsung and LG, the site provides separate guides to disable tracking using only the remote control. All scripts and documentation are hosted on GitHub under an MIT license.
