Apps2Samsung

Install any app on your Samsung TV.

Apps2Samsung is a small cross-platform tool that side-loads any app onto Samsung devices running Tizen OS — Smart TVs, projectors and smart monitors — Jellyfin, Moonlight, Moonfin, Litefin and the whole community catalog, or your own .wgt.
It handles device detection, certificates, and installation so you don’t have to fight with Tizen Studio or manual sideloading.

🌐 Fully translated into 30 languages — Afrikaans, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (BR & PT), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. It starts in your system language and can be switched at any time.

✨ What It Does

• Finds your TV — scans the network for Samsung TVs, or enter an IP by hand, and says exactly what's wrong when a TV isn't ready (Developer Mode off, IP mismatch, reversed IP, needs a power cycle).
• Handles the certificate — signs in to Samsung once and reuses the certificate per TV. Pre-authorize extra TVs by DUID; Public/Partner certificates are picked automatically when an app needs restricted privileges.
• Installs anything Tizen — the community catalog (49+ apps), the Jellyfin builds, or your own .wgt / native .tpk.
• Manages installed apps — list them with their icons, then uninstall, launch, stop, debug (inspector forwarded to chrome://inspect) or force-remove a leftover package.
• Doubles as a TV remote — D-pad, playback, volume, channel, power and live typing over Samsung's own remote channel. No Developer Mode needed.
• Tunes apps at install — Jellyfin server + auto-login, JellyThemes/custom CSS, playback preferences, server plugins and the YouTube-trailer fix; TVapp channels; custom launcher icons and titles.
• Diagnoses TVs — DUID, Tizen version, model and Developer Mode state, plus a live TV log console you can save.
• Backup & restore — move your settings and signing certificates to another PC, Mac or phone in one file.
• Updates itself — in-app updater with an optional beta channel.

🚀 How It Works (Short Version)

Before you begin, ensure your Samsung TV is in Developer Mode. This is required to install apps on it.

👉 How to enable Developer Mode on your TV

1. Run the tool on your computer — or the Android app on your phone
2. Select your Samsung TV
3. Pick an app (Jellyfin, the community catalog, or a custom .wgt)
4. Install

That’s it. No manual certificate handling required in most cases.

NixOS: Clone the repository and run nix-shell — the shell environment will automatically build and launch the tool.
