TV Remote Control | Universo

Turn your iPhone and iPad into a universal remote control and companion for smart televisions and streaming devices.

Simplify Entertainment
• Tired of digging through sofa cushions for a lost remote? With this app, a fully functional remote control is always a tap away.
• Set up your TV in 30 seconds or less.

Universally Compatible
• All major brands of TVs and streaming devices supported. See our full list below.

Multi-Device Support
• Control all your TVs and devices in one place. One tap switches between them.
• You can even make a "combo" remote that controls your TV and streaming stick together - no juggling.

Captions and Subtitles, on the side
• Instead of covering the movie action with text, display captions and subtitles on your second screen: an iPhone or iPad.

Easy navigation control
• With an integrated d-pad / touchpad, you can tap or use swipe gestures to navigate TV menus.
• Designed so your eyes stay on the TV screen, not your phone.
• One long swipe skips multiple steps at once.

Time Jumper for YouTube
• Get to the good parts of a YouTube video like a pro.
• Slide slowly for precision control over the current play position.
• Flick fast to leap across to different scenes.

Photo and Video Casting
• Throw your photos and home movies onto the big screen in seconds.

Keyboard Input and Voice Search
• Type on your TV with the iOS keyboard under your fingertips — or just speak.

Design Your Perfect Remote
• Make quick access buttons for your favorite TV apps and inputs.
• Launch apps like YouTube, Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney with one tap.
• Direct switch to TV inputs/sources like HDMI1, HDMI2, or Antenna (“Live TV”).
• Go minimal or load it up with all the buttons.
• Style your remote in finishes like Space Gray, Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, and Obsidian.

All the Regulars
• Power on/off. This app uses Wake-on-LAN (WoL) to power on TVs that support it.
• Standard media buttons like play, pause, rewind and fast-forward.
• Change channels with channel up/down buttons and numpad.
• Audio buttons for volume control and mute. On remote controls for streaming devices, these buttons can control the companion TV.

How Does This App Work?
• It connects with your TV securely on your home wireless network. It doesn’t use IR (Infrared) like a traditional remote control.
• It uses Apple Bonjour (zeroconf) and UPnP discovery to find devices on your home network automatically.
• Some surprise benefits of Wi-Fi control:
+ You don’t need to point your phone at the TV for it to work.
+ There is no cross-interference between two TVs.
+ If your roommate is playing the TV too loud, turn it down from the other room.
