Private by design

MotePal talks directly to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. There are no accounts, no tracking and no ads. The names and addresses of your TVs are stored only on your phone.

How to get started

1. Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.
2. Open MotePal and choose your TV from the list, or add it by IP address.
3. On Google TV or Android TV, enter the 6 character code shown on the TV. On Samsung and LG, accept the prompt on the TV once. On Roku, make sure "Control by mobile apps" is turned on in the TV settings.

MotePal is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google, Roku, Samsung, LG or any streaming service. All product names, logos and brands belong to their respective owners.
