What to know about Nvidia Shield

  • The Shield is the most open of the devices we've looked at.

On every Android TV and Google TV

  • TameTV will need Android 9 or newer.
  • To lock the TV, TameTV will need Android's Accessibility permission on Android 10 and up.
  • Android 17 has an opt-in setting called Advanced Protection. If you turn it on, it switches off the Accessibility permission TameTV uses to lock the TV.
  • Some TVs hide the "draw over other apps" setting. TameTV doesn't need it.

What TameTV will do on Nvidia Shield

  • Daily budget, per kid
  • Per-app limits
  • Allowed hours
  • From your phone, anywhere
