Full summary

Status: Not maintained. Chrome apps are deprecated, and I don't have a Samsung TV anymore. If this app still works for you, great! If it doesn't, I'm sorry, but I won't work on it anymore. If you're a developer, you are free to fork away the code and build your own remote.


This is a Chrome app to control a Samsung TV over the network.

  • Open-source!
  • Multiple layouts: choose the one most suited to you!
  • Flexible size: the window is resizable and the contents will adapt to any size.
  • Macro support: a single button can send a sequence of key presses to the TV (e.g. raise the volume 4 times).
  • Option to keep the window always on top.
  • Option to display the window on all workspaces (on platforms that support it, i.e. anything but Windows).
  • Chrome sync: the options are saved in your Google account.
