Simple app, works well. Note you'll need to configure your device to have no lock screen, of course. Minor caveat is it takes a few seconds on older equipment (tested successfully on Android Lollipop), but the key point is it still works.

I use in box X96Q and it did launch it on boot. But why it launches only after 1 minute plus after the box up and running ? On the other hand, the home screen is ready since boot up. As such, i forfeit using it because the waiting is just too long. Can the developer please explain ?

Works great on a beelink tvbox. Beautiful simple app, but would be a great addition to have a time delay. I use it to boot kodi, but it starts before the wifi is connected and the web server fails, forcing me to restart kodi for the remote app to work, rendering the auto-launch useless.

Been looking for this kind of app for ages. I wanted to use my Samsung tablet as a default notebook with onenote. This has allowed me to launch straight into onenote whenever I open the cover completely changing the functionality of the tablet for me. Perfect unfussy well written app. Kudos and thank you.

Great for my Fire Stick but would be even better if an option was added instead of defaulting to a launcher app we could take advantage of the built in "shortcut to your apps library" button you can find by holding the home button on the sticks remote.

Works great, just wish I could select more than one app to auto start. Please add this option

About this app

On Google TV, there was a way to launch a specific app when the device booted. By default the device would display the TV stream, making the OS feel more like an overlay on top of your television than something completely isolated.

Android TV will simply just display the launcher on a reboot, a small distraction for users expecting to see TV and annoying for individuals using Android TV as a dumb kiosk displaying a single video or stream.

This app allows the user to select a specific app to open when the device boots. It's just that simple. Any leanback-enabled app can be opened. Alternatively, the default TV app can be opened, returning you to the channel you just saw.

Want to make your Android TV act more like a dumb TV? Want to launch Sling TV immediately. You should download this small utility app.
