I built my own TV launcher for my Google TV Streamer with Claude Opus 5.5!
GitHub: https://github.com/teja2495/my-toolkit-tv
Wanted something simple, clean, and functional. Here's what I've built so far:
1. Minimal UI: Just Continue Watching and Apps. Also added a subtle glow behind the currently selected app, which looks pretty nice!
2. Time & Date: Right at the top. Might add weather here too.
3. Audio Output & Settings: I frequently switch between Bluetooth audio devices, so I wanted a quick way to change the audio output without digging through settings.
4. Continue Watching: This isn't actually real-time since apps don't expose that data. Think of it more like Favourites. I can pin shows with deep links, and clicking one opens the show directly in its respective app.
5. Long-press Actions: Long-press any app to reorder, hide (moves it to More Apps), uninstall, or force stop it. Force stop is surprisingly useful when an app gets stuck or when I want to refresh YouTube recommendations.
What do you think? Anything else worth adding?
