What it shows
The Apple TV app currently gives you a clean living-room dashboard with:
- A full-screen family map with live member locations
- A right-side rail for active trips, ETAs, battery, and quick family status
- A top pulse state such as “Everyone's Safe” or active trip count
- Custom BRYKK alert banners for departures, arrivals, almost-home, SOS, and impact events
- Weather and last-updated status
What it looks like
The main Apple TV surface is the whole-house map. When you focus a person, BRYKK tightens into that member and keeps the right rail anchored to the same story.

Screenshots coming soon
The Apple TV screenshots are still pending. This guide will use real big-screen captures once that surface has been refreshed.
Setup
1
Install BRYKK on Apple TV
On your Apple TV, open the App Store → search for BRYKK → install. The TV app is free.
2
Enter your family code on the TV
Open BRYKK on the TV and choose Enter Family Code. Type the same 6-character family code your iPhone family uses. The TV stores that code locally and reads your family from CloudKit in read-only mode.
3
Set it where the house can use it
BRYKK on Apple TV works best as a shared family screen. Put it where the household naturally glances — kitchen, den, or living room — and set the Apple TV sleep timer the way you want for that space.
Use cases
- Kitchen monitor — glance at the family map while cooking
- Living room peace-of-mind — see when teens get home from school without picking up your phone
- Family emergency display — when someone triggers SOS or an impact alert, the TV throws a bold BRYKK banner over whatever dashboard is on screen
How it updates
Apple TV is a read-only CloudKit dashboard. It refreshes on a steady polling cycle instead of trying to act like a second phone. That makes it calm, dependable, and safe for a shared household screen.
💡
Think of Apple TV as the household view: a big-screen glance at who is out, who is home, and who is on the way.
