webOS Terminal

Version 0.0.11

webOS Terminal¶

A native terminal app for LG webOS TVs. Open a shell right on your TV — no laptop required.

Root required. This app only works on a rooted LG webOS TV with Homebrew Channel installed.

Features¶

• Interactive shell on your TV using the remote and on-screen keyboard
• Multiple tabs, each with its own shell session
• Remote-friendly key bar (Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrow keys)
• Native PTY via ptybridge with raw keystroke passthrough when elevated — shell history, tab completion, job control, and full-screen apps (vim, htop, less, tmux)
• Piped-shell fallback with client-side line history when a PTY is unavailable
• Shell automation API for remote luna-send control (SSH scripting, session listing, command execution)
• Bundled monospace font selection (JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Cascadia Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Fira Mono) with live preview

Requirements¶

• Rooted LG webOS TV with Homebrew Channel
• webOS 4.x or newer (v0.0.11+)

For full PTY/TUI support, elevate the shell service to root — see the install guide.
