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.

iOSiPadOSAndroid Early development
Overview

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.
