A home screen your Samsung TV deserves.

Garage Home replaces the Samsung bar with a clean, full-screen launcher in the style of Android TV. Your apps in the order you choose, widgets, quick controls and a task manager, all with the remote. It gives older TVs a second life.

What it does

Everything one press away

Your apps, your order. Rearrange the home row from the remote; the full app grid holds everything else.
Widgets. Clock, weather with a 5-day forecast, and a Today row with news, holidays and exchange rates.
Quick controls. Mute, volume, brightness and a sleep timer without opening Samsung's menus.
Task manager. See what's running and close background apps to free memory.
Kids lock. Protect chosen apps with a PIN.
Home and power-on. The remote's Home key and turning the TV on bring you back to Garage Home.
Ambient mode. A photo screensaver when the TV sits idle.
Garage Player included. Our IPTV player for M3U and Xtream playlists, with a TV guide and PIN locks.

Screens

A look around

The home screen: featured app, your apps in your order, weather and clock

The Today row: news, the next holiday, exchange rates and a phone remote

TV shortcuts and quick controls: volume, brightness, sleep timer, running apps

All apps in one grid, including Garage Player, rearranged from the remote

Old TVs, new life

Lighter and quieter

Garage Home uses about 80 MB of memory. Its debloat tool switches off voice assistants, ads and background services you don't use: on our test TV, free memory went from about 534 MB to about 690 MB. Every change can be undone.
