About this app

Configure any web page - a dashboard, Home Assistant, Dakboard, or MagicMirror - as the screen saver for your Android TV.

One-time payment. No ads or upgrades required. 24h trial.

Instructions:
1) Set the URL of the webpage to display as your screensaver
2) Go to 'Open System Screensaver Settings'
3) Select 'Dashboard Screen saver' to make it the screensaver.

WARNING: Google Chromecast devices removed the ability to set third-party screensavers in Aug 2022 update. This can only be circumvented through adb commands. Other devices can be set through the included UI.

Ratings and reviews

This app no longer works natively with Google TV, but the developer has provided a workaround you can use if you are savvy enough to use Android adb (involves installing on a PC, wirelessly connecting to TV, and some simple command line code). Took less than 30 minutes total. Using it to display a Dakboard calendar. And once you get it working, Google TV has a cool feature where you simply hit the back button on the remote from the home screen to turn on the screensaver. Highly recommend!

Hello, I'd really like the app developer to look into this issue because I think it is solvable. I am having a situation with this app where it causes a crash of the entire TV and it reboots, it happens after about 5 or 10 minutes of being on the dashboard. I don't want to give one star because I know it works for a lot of people. The dashboard I'm trying to load is a Home Assistant Lovelace Dashboard and it crashes the entire OS, can we please look into the error reports and see if this is solvable? Thank you very much!

You're the best! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Wanted a way to display my calendar as my TVs screensaver. The fact that it uses Dakboard is even better. Have only had it installed for a day, but it's been working perfect on my two Sony Bravia's. A suggestion would be to link to our Dakboard account so we can easily select the screen we want to display. The URLs can get pretty long, and using the remote is tedious, especially having to do it on multiple devices. Or if that's not possible, just be able to store multiple URLs.
