Monet Launcher is an ad-free Material You launcher for Android TV and Google TV, offering live weather wallpapers, deep theming, and remote-first navigation for a home screen you’ll actually enjoy.

Monet Launcher: A Material You Home Screen Built for Android TV

A cluttered, ad-stuffed TV home screen makes streaming feel like a chore before you even pick a show. Monet Launcher fixes that. It replaces the standard Android TV and Google TV interface with a Material You experience designed entirely around remote navigation, giving you a home screen that feels personal, calm, and genuinely worth looking at every time you turn on the TV.

No Ads, No Tracking, No Account Required

Most TV launchers bury your apps under sponsored rows and promoted content. Monet skips all of that. It shows zero ads, zero sponsored placements, and collects no tracking data. You won’t need to create an account or sign in anywhere — you install it, set it up the way you like, and use it. The result is a home screen that stays focused on your apps and your style instead of someone else’s advertising.

Living Wallpapers That Respond to the Real World

Monet’s centerpiece feature is its animated weather live wallpaper. Instead of a static background, a real-time sky renders behind your icons and shifts based on your local weather and the actual time of day. If you’d rather set a mood than mirror the forecast, you can choose from a wide library of ambient scenes instead, and any of them doubles as a screensaver.

• The library includes 26 scenes, covering rain, thunderstorms, snowfall, the northern lights, fireflies, deep space, an aquarium, a lava lamp, and more.
• Auto mode syncs the wallpaper to your actual local weather in real time.
• You get 27 curated moods to pick from, including Starry Sky, Cherry Blossom, and Fireside Evening.
• Each scene includes sunrise, day, sunset, and night variants.
• Accent colors shift automatically to match current weather conditions.

Genuine Material You Theming on the Big Screen

Monet brings full Material Design 3 dynamic theming to your TV. The app pulls an accent palette straight from your wallpaper and recolors the entire interface around it in real time, so the whole launcher feels cohesive rather than bolted together.

• Every card, color, and accent updates automatically based on your wallpaper.
• You can choose from 22 accent palettes or build your own using a 96-shade custom color picker.
• Light mode, dark mode, and custom text colors are all supported.
• Eleven built-in background styles round out the theming options.

Wallpaper Options for Every Style

Beyond the built-in scenes, Monet lets you personalize your background in several ways. You can use your own photos and videos, pull rotating wallpapers from any subreddit you choose, integrate Aerial Views flyover footage, or let rotating movie poster art from your streaming apps fill the screen. Blur, brightness, and rotation controls let you fine-tune how each option looks.

Full Control Over Your Home Screen Layout

Monet gives you real control over how your home screen is organized, not just how it looks. You can build up to 8 custom rows, either hand-picking content or letting the app auto-fill categories like Games, Streaming, or Music. Rows can be reordered, shown, or hidden at will. The launcher also supports app folders, hidden apps, an adjustable grid size, and a dock mode that pins your favorite apps to the bottom of the screen.

Icons, Tiles, and Visual Details

For deeper customization, Monet supports third-party icon packs alongside 7 icon shapes and 4 tile styles, including themed and transparent options. You can override any individual app with a custom image, color, or name, and adjust tile size to match your preferred layout density.

Widgets, Status Bar, and Motion

Monet adds functional widgets directly to the home screen, including weather, clock and date, Now Playing media controls, and Bluetooth and network status indicators. A compact status bar can be positioned left, center, or right, and styled or auto-hidden based on preference. Nine app launch animations and seven focus animations add polish to everyday navigation.

Built-In Screensaver

When idle, Monet can display a screensaver pulled from six different sources: your own wallpaper library, ambient scenes, Reddit feeds, Aerial Views footage, or a personal video of your choosing.

Designed for Multi-User Households

Families can set up to 4 separate user profiles, each with its own layout, wallpaper, and overall style. Individual apps can also be locked behind a PIN, giving households more control over who accesses what.

Deep Android TV Integration

Monet works alongside your existing setup rather than replacing it. A Continue Watching row pulls titles directly from your streaming apps, and Live TV channels and HDMI inputs appear right on the launcher for TVs with tuners or TV input apps. You can also configure any app to autostart after boot or standby.

Fast, Lightweight, and Private by Design

Monet asks for no sign-up and collects no data, keeping the experience private from the start. It’s built to run smoothly even on older TV boxes and streaming sticks, and it’s available in 34 languages, making it accessible to a broad range of users worldwide.

Compatibility and Pricing

Monet works with your existing Continue Watching, Live TV, and streaming apps right out of the box, with nothing to reconfigure. Core features are free to use, and an optional one-time premium unlock adds advanced customization options for users who want more control.

Monet Launcher runs on any Android TV 8.0+ or Google TV device, including NVIDIA Shield TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, Xiaomi Mi Box, onn 4K, and TVs from Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, and others.
