How to use TV Detox: what you can do with it

What is TV Detox? TV Detox makes an old, slow Android TV fast again. You paste a prompt into Claude Code or Codex on your laptop, and the agent removes bloatware, ads and sponsored rows and installs a tiny ad-free home screen with your apps, HDMI inputs and a clock. Apps are turned off, never deleted, and undo.sh turns everything back on.

How do I use it? On the TV press Build 7 times in Settings, Device Preferences, About, then turn on USB debugging in Developer options; then open Claude Code or Codex on your laptop, on the same Wi-Fi as the TV; paste the prompt from the README Get started section and fill in your TV model. Full steps below.
