# Shield Commander

Monitoring and app management for your NVIDIA Shield TV

Shield Commander connects to your NVIDIA Shield TV over Wi-Fi and gives you full visibility into what's happening on your device — real-time performance charts, running processes, and complete control over installed apps.

## Features

**Activity Monitor** — Live charts for CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, and thermals with configurable refresh rates.

**Processes** — See every running process sorted by CPU usage, updated in real time. Right-click or double-click any process to view detailed info from `/proc` and `dumpsys package`.

**App Management** — Browse installed apps, uninstall what you don't need, and install APKs with drag-and-drop. Double-click any app for full package details including version, SDK levels, install dates, and size.

**System Info** — Device model, Android version, RAM, storage, and more at a glance.

**Device Discovery** — Automatically finds Shield devices on your network. Saves your devices for quick reconnection.

## Installation

Download the latest release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/siewers/shield-commander/releases).

### macOS

The app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate. macOS will block it the first time you open it. To bypass this:

1. Open Terminal
2. Run: `xattr -cr "/Applications/Shield Commander.app"`
3. Open the app normally

### ADB path

Shield Commander auto-detects ADB from common install locations. If it can't find it (e.g. when running from a `.app` bundle), open the connection dialog and set the path manually under **ADB Path**.

## Requirements

- macOS, Windows, or Linux
- [ADB (Android Debug Bridge)](https://developer.android.com/tools/adb) installed
- An NVIDIA Shield TV with **Developer Options** and **Network Debugging** enabled

### Installing ADB

Shield Commander requires ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to communicate with your Shield TV. Install it for your platform:

**Windows** — Install via [winget](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/):
```
winget install Google.PlatformTools
```

**macOS** — Install via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```
brew install android-platform-tools
```

**Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):**
```
sudo apt install android-tools-adb
```

You can also [download the SDK Platform Tools](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools#downloads) directly from Google and extract them anywhere. Shield Commander will auto-detect ADB from common install locations, or you can set the path manually in the app.

## Built With

- [Avalonia UI](https://avaloniaui.net/) with [Fluent Avalonia](https://github.com/amwx/FluentAvalonia)
- [LiveCharts2](https://livecharts.dev/) for real-time charting
