DevMode for webOS TV

DevMode Manager for webOS TV is an open-source desktop app that provides a graphical interface for managing webOS TVs. It allows users to interact with devices that have developer mode enabled or are rooted without requiring a full integrated development environment. This tool simplifies the process of connecting to and controlling webOS devices by replacing complex command line workflows with a visual dashboard.

The application is available as a desktop installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports multiple hardware architectures including x86, x86_64, and ARM64. Depending on the operating system, users can install the software via MSI packages for Windows, DMG files for macOS, or DEB and AppImage formats for various Linux distributions. This broad compatibility ensures that developers can manage their TV devices from almost any modern desktop environment.
