Overview

  • Built an ad-free home screen for Amazon Fire TV that replaces the stock launcher's banner ads and sponsored rows, with a switchable retro "Console" layout and a clean default layout. No ads, tracking or accounts.

Features

Console layout

A green LCD for the time, weather, air quality or date, two needle meters and big keys for six favourite apps. Light by day, dark after sunset.

Default layout

The familiar Fire TV tabs, banner and app rows, with nothing sponsored in them.

Home button takeover

A small accessibility service reopens Hearth whenever Amazon's home screen appears.

Remote-friendly editing

Move, hide or favourite apps, and switch layouts, all from the remote.

Private by design

No ads, tracking or accounts. Weather comes from Open-Meteo.
