- Download the latest Simplii APK from Releases.
- Install it from a computer over ADB. Or ask Claude or another AI assistant to install it and customize it to your liking.
- Run the setup commands so the Home button opens Simplii. An AI agent can run these for you too.
Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Google TV's own home screen stays installed, so the remote's Settings button, notifications and the Guide keep working. Undo it any time by uninstalling Simplii.
