About this app

See who's calling and read your messages on the TV, without picking up your phone. NotifyTV shows calls, WhatsApp messages and other notifications from your Android phone as small popups on your Android TV or Google TV, over your home Wi-Fi.

You choose the apps. One-time codes stay on your phone. No account and no cloud.

This is the phone app. Also install NotifyTV from Google Play on your TV, then pair the two in a minute.

New in 1.3: a fresh design with dark and light themes, Remind me, TV settings from your phone, several popups at once, three popup styles in five sizes, switching between TVs, and new widgets.

Calls on your TV
• Regular phone calls and calls from apps such as WhatsApp show the caller's name on the TV.
• Choose Decline or Dismiss with the remote. Dismiss is selected, so a stray OK press never hangs up. Decline ends regular phone calls while they ring; for app calls, decline on your phone.
• Calls still come through in calls-only mode and during a pause.

Messages and alerts
• WhatsApp, Telegram, Messages, Gmail and other common apps are switched on when you first open the app. Turn any of them off, or add any other app, in Select Apps.
• Press OK on the remote to read a long message in full.
• Battery alerts when a phone runs low (5–40%) or has charged (60–100%).

Remind me
• Type what to remember, pick a time and choose where it shows: Phone, TV or Both.
• Repeat it every day, on weekdays, at weekends or on the days you pick.
• On the TV, reminders get through a pause and calls-only mode. If the TV can't be reached, the reminder shows on your phone instead.

TV settings from your phone
• The first phone you pair is the TV's admin. It can change the TV app theme, popup theme, style, size, duration and position, sound, battery alerts and the TV's name.
• The TV shows a short "TV settings updated" card, so everyone watching knows what changed.

Popups made for a TV
• Up to four popups at once, each with its own countdown. A call always goes on top, and the others keep counting down underneath.
• Three styles: Modern (frosted glass), Classic and Flat. Dark or light, in five sizes from 1x to 5x.
• Six positions, 3 to 30 seconds on screen, optional sound.

Private on a shared screen
• Full message, or Sender only: the app and the sender, without the message text.
• Messages that look like one-time codes are replaced with "OTP Received (Hidden)" before they leave your phone. On by default.
• Notifications go straight from your phone to your TV over your home network, encrypted for each session. No NotifyTV account, no cloud server in between.

For the whole home
• Connect several phones to one TV. Each popup shows which phone it came from.
• Pair one phone with several TVs and switch between them.
• Lost your phone in the sofa? Ring it from the TV.
• Pause for 1 hour or until 7 AM, or use calls-only mode for movie night.
• The TV keeps a 24-hour history, grouped by app.
• Widgets: turn sharing on or off, and see your next reminder.

Set up in a few minutes
1. Install NotifyTV on your Android phone (Android 8.0 or newer).
2. Install NotifyTV from Google Play on your Android TV or Google TV.
3. Connect both to the same home network and pair: Auto, QR Scan or Manual IP.
4. Allow notification access, check your apps and send a test popup.
Stuck? The setup guide has a setup video and a Report a problem button.

Questions
Will it work on my TV? It needs Android TV or Google TV with Google Play, such as Google TV Streamer, Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, onn. boxes and many Sony, TCL, Philips, Hisense and Xiaomi TVs. Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs, Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV can't install it, and there's no iPhone app.
Is it screen mirroring? No. Your show stays on screen and only the popups you chose appear.
What does it cost? NotifyTV is free and ad-supported. Every feature is included.
