Before you start
It works only on Android TV and Google TV. Samsung, LG and Roku TVs don't run Android, so the app can't work on them.
The phone app is a community app by udhaykumarbala, built on Gathin's Clean Your TV. It is not on the Play Store yet, so you install it from a direct download and Android will ask you to allow that.
What you need
- An Android phoneAndroid 9 or newer, with a screen lock.
- An Android TV or Google TVOn the same Wi-Fi as your phone.
- Network debugging on the TVThe app shows you where to turn it on, and switches it off again at the end.

Connect to your TV
Keep the TV on. The app finds your TV on the Wi-Fi and shows you how to let the phone in with the remote. This takes about a minute.
-
Analyse
The app reads what is on the TV and shows the plan: what goes off and what stays. Nothing changes yet.
-
Tap Make it clean
The app saves a restore point on your phone first. Then the clutter goes and the new home screen comes on.
Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, live TV and your HDMI inputs stay.
Change your mind?
Nothing is uninstalled, apps are only switched off. Open the app again any time to put one app back or undo everything.
