Problem
Why it exists
TV interfaces can make app activity and power controls hard to manage, and Android restricts some operations for ordinary apps.
Solution
TVPilot puts basic device and app information in a remote-friendly interface and offers advanced actions through optional Shizuku access.
No analytics, advertising or tracking; the app requests no Internet permission. App usage information stays on the device.
