# Orbit OS

> Orbit OS ("Orbit OS: Smart TV Remote" on Google Play, package dev.shiv.orbit, made by Shivam Anil Jha) is a free Android app that turns a phone into a smart TV remote for Google TV and Android TV over the home Wi-Fi, and sets the TV up from the phone with no computer: a calm home screen of only your apps, about 30 free Hindi Live TV channels, the preinstalled apps you pick switched off (never deleted), and one tap of Undo puts the TV back as it was. No ads, no trackers. Made in India by Shivam Anil Jha.

Key facts:

- Price: free, no ads, no subscription, no tracking.
- Get it: Google Play, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.shiv.orbit (Android 7.0 or later). There is no iPhone version yet.
- Works with: Google TV and Android TV sets on the same Wi-Fi as the phone, with developer options turned on (the app shows how). Tested and in daily use on a Xiaomi TV A Pro with Google TV 14; on other Google TV and Android TV sets it offers only the changes it knows are safe on any TV.
- Remote: roll a globe to move, tap for OK, hold for Home, or use a classic D-pad with Back, Home and Settings; the phone's volume buttons turn the TV up and down; works away from home after an optional Google sign-in.
- Setup: Orbit finds the TV on the Wi-Fi, asks five plain questions, shows the whole plan before changing anything, and sets up the TV in about five minutes. It does not root the TV or change its firmware.
- Undo: every change is written down first; one tap brings back the TV's own home screen, apps and settings.
- Not made for: IR-only TVs, Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Roku or Fire TV, and iPhones.
