Everything the remote does — on your phone

A universal remote that lives in your pocket, works over the Wi-Fi you already have, and never slips between the cushions.

Universal, not tied to one brand

Pair with TCL, Roku TV, Google TV, Android TV, Fire TV, and more. One app replaces the pile of remotes on the coffee table.

The app talks to each TV over your Wi-Fi network. Switch between TVs in the app without re-pairing.

The full button layout

A directional pad, OK, back, home, volume, mute, and playback transport — everything the plastic remote has, arranged for one-handed use.

Buttons respond in real time, so scrubbing and channel-surfing feel exactly like the original remote.

Keyboard search that actually types

Search for shows, apps, and sign-in details with your iPhone keyboard instead of pecking letters out with arrow keys.

Paste passwords and long titles straight from your phone — no more spelling words one D-pad press at a time.

Automatic TV discovery

Open the app and it finds compatible TVs on your network on its own. No pairing codes, no dongles, no IR blaster.

Your last-used TV reconnects automatically the next time you open the app.

App launcher shortcuts

Jump straight into your streaming apps from the remote instead of scrolling the TV's home row.

Launch shortcuts appear once the app detects which streaming apps your TV supports.

Designed for the dark

A calm, high-contrast layout tuned for a dim living room, so the controls are easy to find without lighting up the whole couch.

Large tap targets and clear iconography keep it usable at arm's length or a glance.
