Simply Remote: Universal TV

Lost the remote? Control your Samsung, LG, Roku, Google TV, Sony, Vizio, Fire TV or Panasonic TV from your iPhone. No setup, no account.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Simply Remote talks only to the TVs on your own network. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

Some TVs need a one-time step: choose Allow on the TV (Samsung, LG, Fire TV) or enter the code shown on screen (Google TV, Vizio). Fire TV needs ADB debugging turned on in Developer options. Sony Bravia needs a Pre-Shared Key set under IP control.
