About AutoHDMI - Auto Switch to HDMI
AutoHDMI - Auto Switch to HDMI is a utility tool designed for compatible Android TV and Google TV devices. Developed by indie developer Sohum Manchanda, the application automatically switches your TV to a designated HDMI input following a full system restart or a power cut.
For households that rely primarily on external hardware—such as set-top boxes, gaming consoles, PCs, or secondary streaming devices—smart TVs often default to their native home screen upon booting up rather than the active external source. AutoHDMI solves this everyday friction by allowing users to configure their preferred HDMI input just once, streamlining the startup process and eliminating the need to manually change inputs every time the TV turns on after a power interruption.

About NoRing
NoRing is a free, privacy-focused mobile application designed to protect your phone from unwanted calls and SMS messages using adaptive, on-device learning. Available for Android devices and supporting 30 languages, NoRing helps keep your phone quiet by intelligently filtering out spam and telemarketers without compromising your personal data.
Unlike traditional spam blockers that rely on cloud databases or require constant internet connectivity, NoRing processes everything privately on your phone. It learns dynamically from the unknown calls you reject or quickly end, recognizing repeat callers and similar number patterns even as unwanted callers rotate numbers. Additionally, the app categorizes your messaging: important and uncertain SMS/MMS messages stay in your main Inbox, while likely promotions and suspicious messages are neatly sorted into a 'Quieted' section. Best of all, NoRing is completely free to use and requires no account registration.
Pros of NoRing
- Processes data entirely on-device for maximum privacy
- Learns from your behavior to recognize rotating spam numbers and patterns
- Automatically sorts SMS/MMS into Inbox and Quieted sections
- Requires no account setup and is completely free to use
- Available in 30 different languages
Cons of NoRing
- Currently targeted specifically toward Android users
- Relies on user interaction (rejecting or ending calls quickly) to build its learning patterns
- May require initial tuning as it adapts to unknown callers
