What you get

A remote that feels like the one you lost — only better.

Everything is built around the complaints people actually have about other remote apps: dead discovery, laggy controls, dropped connections, and surprise charges.

Auto TV discovery

Opens the app and it scans your WiFi, listing every Smart TV with its brand and a room name you can rename. Real progress, never an endless spinner.

Big, responsive touchpad

A large touchpad with single-tap select and two-finger back. Every tap lights up under your finger in under 100 ms, so you always know it registered.

Connection survives the lock

Check a message mid-show, lock your phone, come back — the controls respond instantly. No reconnect ritual in the middle of a movie.

Text & voice search

Type with your phone's real keyboard, or search by voice. Send titles and WiFi passwords straight to the TV in the field that's on screen.

App & channel launcher

A row of your TV's installed apps appears on the control screen. Tap one and it opens on screen — then keep navigating without leaving the remote.

Honest, one-time pricing

Every locked feature shows its exact one-time price next to it. Pay once, own it forever. A Restore Purchase recovers your unlock on any device.

Keep remote ready in background

One toggle. One plain sentence about what it does and its effect on battery. Nothing else.

The #1 complaint, fixed

The connection drops on other apps the moment your screen locks. Not here.

After you pair a TV, Universal Tv Remote keeps a lightweight connection alive in the background. Lock your phone, answer a message, come back mid-show — the remote responds instantly, exactly where you left it.

  • No reconnect ritual between uses, ever
  • If navigation switches WiFi, it asks to rediscover — no cryptic errors
  • Controls only show what's confirmed to work on your TV model
The experience

From couch to control in three taps.

No accounts, no configuration files, no support tickets. Open the app and your TV is already on screen.

01 / DISCOVER

Scan your network

Allow local network access once and the app lists every Smart TV around you, with a real progress bar.

02 / PAIR

Tap the one that's yours

A short vibration confirms the pairing and the control screen opens — no cable, no code to enter.

03 / CONTROL

Just use it

Swipe the touchpad, tap to select, adjust volume along the edge. It stays ready even after you lock your phone.

You'll see every price before we ask for a cent.

FAQ

Before you install

Which TVs does it work with?
Any Smart TV on the same WiFi network. The app scans, discovers it, and only shows controls that are confirmed to work on that model — never a button for something unverified.
Does the connection really survive a screen lock?
Yes. Once paired, a lightweight background connection stays alive. Unlock the phone and the remote responds instantly — no reconnect required, which is exactly what competing apps get wrong.
Is there any hidden subscription?
No. Every price is shown next to each locked feature before anything is charged. Weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are all clearly labeled, and a one-time unlock is available too.
What data does the app collect?
Discovery and control only work on your own home network — nothing leaves it. See full details in the Privacy Policy.
I bought the unlock, can I restore it on a new phone?
Yes. Use Restore Purchase inside the app and your one-time unlock is recovered instantly through your App Store or Google Play account — no support ticket required.

Your remote isn't lost. It's already in your hand.
