An unofficial homebrew app store and root tooling for webOS TVs, providing package discovery, installation, and updates from independent repositories. On rooted devices it also offers a privilege escalation service, SSH/Telnet remote access, telemetry disabling, and boot-time user hooks.

Use cases

  • install homebrew apps on a rooted webOS TV
  • discover and update unofficial webOS packages
  • run scripts automatically at TV bootup
  • get root shell access to a webOS TV via SSH or telnet
  • disable telemetry on a webOS TV
  • expose a root execution service to other webOS homebrew apps
  • recover a TV that crashes on boot using failsafe mode

When to choose

  • you have a rooted LG webOS TV and want a package manager for homebrew apps
  • you are developing webOS homebrew apps and need easy root privilege escalation
  • you want SSH access or startup hooks on your TV

When to avoid

  • your TV is not rooted or the exploit is unsupported
  • you are not comfortable modifying TV firmware or losing warranty
  • you need an official, vendor-supported app store
