Package database

Review what each package does before using the script generator. Risk ratings are device specific and should be checked against your model.

About this dataset

220 unique packages across 20 device lists. Fields include package ID, description, list rating, source notes and device references. When device ratings differ, this index uses caution; consult the specific device’s rating and notes before choosing an app.

Derived from Gathin23/cleanyourtv (MIT), with site classifications based on source notes. No independent hardware verification has been performed. Entries without an individual function description remain available for reference but are excluded from search indexing. A source review date is not a test date. Method and limitations →
