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.
