What fed this analysis
Unsplash serves as a primary content source for the target app, but its standalone app is a direct competitor for users seeking high-quality background art.
While focused on video, it competes for the same 'TV utility' screen real estate and user attention during media consumption.
Google Photos is the default repository for user memories, making it a functional alternative for displaying personal photos on TVs.
This app demonstrates how a niche utility can capture a dedicated audience through high-frequency updates and specialized hardware control.
Tuya is aggressively expanding its smart home ecosystem, frequently updating its platform to include more display-centric control features.
