Read the full description
Google TV hides the default home setting, so custom launchers like Projectivy, AT4K or Monet keep losing the Home button. TV Box Tools sets any launcher as the real HOME app over ADB, without typing commands, from your phone, PC, browser or the TV itself. One press restores the stock home screen. Free, open source, and Claude can run it for you.

Yes It wraps ADB shell commands (setting the HOME role) behind a simple phone, PC, and web UI, which is standard scripting and app work.
