## What it is
An open-source Android TV launcher application built in the Leanback style, written in Java with a minimum SDK of 17. It provides a TV home screen with media display, video playback via ijkplayer, and third-party app listing.

## Use cases
- replace the default home screen on an Android TV box
- build a leanback-style launcher for a smart TV device
- show apps installed on Android TV in a grid launcher
- play videos directly from a TV launcher home screen
- customize a TV desktop with pictures and media details

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made leanback launcher for Android TV (API 17+)
- you want a GPL-3.0 base to fork and customize a TV home screen
- you want built-in video playback in a TV launcher

## When to avoid
- you need a phone or tablet launcher rather than a TV leanback UI
- you require a permissively licensed codebase (it is GPL-3.0)
- you need actively developed features beyond the official Leanback library
