Turn your Google TV into an alert screen for the whole house.
CouchPing TV is the companion app for CouchPing (phone). Once paired, anyone approved on your phone can send a message that appears instantly as a fullscreen overlay — even over Netflix, YouTube, or whatever's on — then clears itself automatically.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open CouchPing TV — it generates a short pairing code
2. On a phone, install CouchPing and enter that code
3. Approve the request here on the TV — one click
4. From then on, approved phones can send alerts that show up instantly
FEATURES
• Fullscreen alert overlay with sound, auto-dismisses after 15 seconds
• Approve or remove paired phones anytime, right from the TV
• Pairing requests shown clearly with sender name
• Runs quietly in the background — restarts automatically after a reboot
• No account required — pairing is local to your TV and your household's phones
PRIVACY
Your TV never listens to or shares anything beyond what your approved phones send. Alerts only reach this TV from phones you've explicitly approved, and you can remove a phone's access at any time.
LANGUAGES
Fully localized in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Hindi.
Requires the free companion app "CouchPing" on the sender's phone.
