Kino is a Google TV app that repurposes a TV's internal and USB storage into a personal media server, allowing users to manage and play videos directly from the TV and access them via a macOS app or web interface. It's interesting because it leverages existing TV hardware as a central media hub, potentially saving storage space on other devices while offering a simple, network-based management system.

Target audience: home-users, media-enthusiasts
