Universal Remote
A remote control app that finds compatible TVs and streaming devices on your Wi-Fi, pairs with them, and loads the right remote layout automatically.
Your phone, as the remote you actually lost.
Discovery finds supported devices on your local network, identifies the manufacturer, walks you through whatever pairing the TV requires, and then shows a remote built for that device rather than a generic grid of buttons.
Multiple TVs in the same household are supported, and paired devices are remembered so the second launch is instant.
Where a manufacturer has closed off local control, the app says so plainly instead of showing a button that silently does nothing. Adapters for Google TV / Android TV, Samsung, LG and Vizio are in progress.
This app is early in development and is not yet available in either store.
What it does
Finds compatible devices on your Wi-Fi and identifies what they are.
Walks through whatever approval the TV asks for on screen.
Loads a remote built for the device you connected to, not a lowest-common-denominator grid.
Remembers paired and favorite devices across several TVs in one household.
When a function or a device is unsupported, it says so rather than failing quietly.
Commands go straight from your phone to your TV over your own network.
This app collects no data
Universal Remote collects no data. It talks to your TV over your own network and to nothing else.
