Built Skiff — open link in TV

[u/paliyalyogesh]

I kept finding things to watch on my phone and then hunting for them again with the TV remote, so I built a small app for it.

Skiff — Send to TV. Share a page to Skiff from any app, and it opens on your TV:

• YouTube and JioHotstar links open in their TV apps (more apps via simple rules — PRs welcome)
• IMDb pages open in Nuvio, straight on that title's stream picker
• It finds your TV on the Wi-Fi by itself, and there's nothing to install on the TV
• History and Saved for later, Material You design

How it works: it uses the TV's own network ADB — the same am start you'd type from a computer, sent from your phone. So it needs USB debugging on (Developer options), and the first time the TV asks you to allow the phone. Worth knowing: anything you allow there can control the TV.

Tested on a Sony Bravia (Google TV, Android 12). Free and open source (no ads, no tracking): 👉 https://github.com/yogeshpaliyal/skiff — APK in Releases.

Or you could just use ATVTools. Which can do just about anything you want to do with your Android TV, directly from your phone.
