atvTools for iPhone

App summary

atvTools is a utility for iPhone that gives you extensive control over Android TV / tvOS-like devices from your iOS handset. Created by Oleksandr Hamlii, the app sits in the Utilities & Tools category and aims to simplify device management, app handling, file transfers and system inspection remotely.

Core features

• Real-time system stats: view CPU load, memory usage, network activity and available storage.
• Power and restart controls: reboot or turn the TV device off remotely.
• One-tap cache cleanup: remove application caches across the device with a single action.
• Command and text entry: execute shell commands and paste clipboard text into the TV.
• Remote control functionality: use your iPhone as a functional remote for navigation and control.
• File and screen operations: capture screenshots and push files from the phone to the TV with ease.
• Built-in file manager: browse, move and manage files stored on the TV directly from iOS.
• Permission management: grant or revoke app permissions on installed applications.
• App management suite: open, uninstall, enable/disable apps and download APKs.
• App sideloading: install apps (sideload APKs) onto the TV directly from your iPhone.

Device management and app handling

atvTools groups several app-focused utilities in one place. You can install third-party apps, remove or disable unwanted ones, toggle enabled state, and retrieve APKs for backup or analysis. Permission controls let you alter runtime privileges for apps without needing to touch the device physically.

File operations and screen capture

The app’s file manager lets you navigate the TV’s filesystem, move or delete files, and transfer content back and forth. Screenshot capture and direct file sending make it simple to share media or save device screens to your phone.

Remote control, input and commands

Beyond basic remote navigation, atvTools permits pasting text from your phone’s clipboard into the TV, running shell commands for advanced tasks, and performing maintenance actions such as clearing app caches or rebooting the unit.

Monitoring and diagnostics

For users who want to monitor device health, atvTools provides live telemetry for processor and RAM usage, network throughput, and storage consumption so you can spot resource issues quickly.

Requirements and notes

To connect and control a device, USB or network debugging must be enabled on the TV. Ensure debugging options are activated in the device developer settings before attempting to pair.

Suggested alternative

AirConsole (free) is a lightweight alternative worth trying if you need a different remote/control experience or quick multiplayer gaming support via mobile devices.
