Remote for Apple TV

Remote for Apple TV is an independent app that gives you two ways to control your TV: use a network remote over your local Wi-Fi network, or use an infrared remote on phones with a built-in IR blaster. It is designed for quick everyday control, pairing, app launching, keyboard input and media casting.

Key features:

- Classic remote control layout
- Full remote layout with extra controls & customizable buttons
- Touch-style navigation buttons: up, down, left, right and select
- Back, TV / Control Center, Menu, Play / Pause and Mute controls
- Volume and channel controls
- Keyboard input for easier text entry
- App list with shortcuts for popular streaming apps
- Cast local files or media URLs to Apple TV
- Light, dark and system theme options
- Network remote control for supported Apple TV devices
- Infrared remote mode for phones with an IR transmitter
- Simple device discovery and pairing
- Manual add by IP address when discovery is not available

This app is useful if your physical Apple TV remote is missing, broken, out of battery, or simply not nearby. You can open apps, control playback, enter text, adjust volume and stream media from your Android device.

Network remote mode requires your Android device and Apple TV to be on the same local Wi-Fi network. Available controls may depend on your Apple TV model, tvOS version and enabled services.

Infrared mode requires an Android device with a built-in IR blaster.
