The app detects all TV boxes with ADB enabled and connects automatically when only one is found. You can also add a device manually by IP address. Remote control at your fingertips Once connected, a clean dashboard gives you instant access to the most useful actions: - Reboot — restart the box remotely - Shutdown — send a power-off command - Factory reset — wipe the box back to defaults - List installed apps — run "pm list packages" and browse the output Install APKs wirelessly Pick any APK from your phone's storage. The app pushes it to the box and installs it automatically, with a real-time progress screen showing every step. Interactive shell console Open a live ADB shell and run any command directly on the box. Output streams back in real time. The console stays open while you navigate the rest of the app. Device info at a glance The connection screen shows the box's manufacturer, model, IP address, and whether it is running as root. Requirements - TV box must have Developer Options and Network ADB (ADB over Wi-Fi) enabled - Phone and box must be on the same Wi-Fi network
