Orbit OS: Smart TV Remote

Om Shri Hari Trading Pvt Ltd

About this app

Orbit OS turns your phone into a smart TV remote for Google TV and Android TV, over your home Wi-Fi, and sets your TV up for you with no computer. It is free, with no ads.

A TV remote on your phone
• Roll the globe to move, tap for OK, hold for Home, or use a classic D-pad with Back, Home and Settings
• Type on the TV with your phone's keyboard, and open recent apps in one tap
• Turn the TV up and down with your phone's own volume buttons, or mute it
• Works on your home Wi-Fi, and from anywhere once you sign in with Google

Set up your TV from your phone
No computer, no cables and no code. Orbit finds your TV on the Wi-Fi, asks five plain questions, shows you the whole plan, then sets everything up in about five minutes while you watch every step.

What you get on the TV
• Orbit Home: a calm home screen of only your apps, which greets you by name
• Orbit Live TV: about 30 free Hindi channels from the broadcasters' own streams
• The preinstalled apps you pick are switched off, never deleted: less clutter, fewer promotions
• Switch between Orbit's home and your TV's own home screen whenever you like

Undo everything with one tap
Orbit writes down every change before it makes it, and can back up your TV's original setup to your own Google Drive. One tap puts the TV back exactly as it was: its own home screen, its apps and its settings. Orbit does not root the TV or change its firmware.

Try it without a TV
Open Orbit and tap "Try Orbit without a TV" to play with a pretend TV and the remote.

What you need
• An Android phone, and a Google TV or Android TV on the same Wi-Fi
• Developer options turned on on the TV (Orbit shows you how, step by step)
• Tested on the Xiaomi TV A Pro with Google TV 14. On other Google TV and Android TV sets, Orbit offers only the changes it knows are safe on any TV.

Privacy
No ads and no trackers. Signing in with Google is optional: it lets your phone reach your TV away from home and keeps your backups in your own Google Drive. You can delete your account in Settings at any time.
