About Universal Remote
Universal Remote turns your iPhone into a smart remote for your TV. It finds your TV on Wi-Fi and pairs with a code shown on screen — no settings to change. Navigate with a D-pad or swipe trackpad, type with the phone keyboard, launch and search inside 50+ apps, switch between multiple TVs in a tap, and set a sleep timer or bedtime lock. No ads, no accounts, nothing leaves your phone.
Everything you need
Thoughtfully designed features that make Universal Remote stand out.
Wi-Fi pairing, no setup
Finds Android TV, Roku, Samsung, LG and Fire TV on your network and pairs with an on-screen code — no TV settings to change.
D-pad & swipe trackpad
Navigate with a glossy D-pad or a real touch trackpad, plus a number pad, volume, channels, inputs and media keys.
Apps & search
Open Netflix, YouTube, Prime, Disney+ and 50+ apps — and run a search straight inside them from your phone.
Multiple TVs
Save every TV, switch with one tap, and nickname each one like “Living Room” or “Bedroom.”
Sleep timer & Bedtime Lock
Turn the TV off after a set time — and keep it off behind a parent PIN, even if the kids grab the real remote.
Private by design
No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Everything stays on your phone and your local network.
