Smart Remote - TV & AC1.7 - App Store

Universal Remote is a smart remote control app that helps you control your TV, air conditioner, set-top box, projector, soundbar, fan and more from your iPhone - over Wi-Fi, with an IR blaster, or through your smart home. It supports 300+ brands with 14,000+ ready-made remotes, controls Wi-Fi air conditioners directly, and integrates with Apple Watch, Siri, widgets and the Lock Screen.

Made for anyone who lost a remote, wants one app instead of a drawer full of remotes, or wants to control hotel and rental-home devices from their phone.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

. Replace a lost or broken remote in seconds - pick your device brand and a ready-made remote appears, no programming
. Control your smart TV with no extra hardware - Samsung, LG webOS, Sony Bravia, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, Google TV and Apple TV connect over your Wi-Fi network
. Control your air conditioner from the couch - IR ACs work through a blaster; Midea, Daikin, GREE and TCL Wi-Fi ACs connect directly with no blaster at all
. Run whole scenes with one tap - "Movie Night" can turn on the TV, switch input, and set the soundbar together
. Control everything from your Apple Watch, the Lock Screen, widgets, or by asking Siri

COMMON QUESTIONS

Do I need to buy extra hardware?
Not for smart TVs, streaming boxes, or Wi-Fi air conditioners - those connect over your home network. Classic IR-only devices (most ACs, older TVs, fans, projectors) need a small Wi-Fi-to-IR blaster such as Broadlink RM4/RM Mini, a Tuya/Smart Life IR hub, Global Caché iTach, or an ESP DIY blaster. iPhones have no built-in IR emitter.

Which TV brands work?
Samsung, LG, Sony, Roku, Hisense, TCL, Philips, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sharp and 300+ more. Smart TVs are controlled over Wi-Fi; any TV with a remote sensor is controlled by IR through a blaster.

Can it control my air conditioner?
Yes. The code database covers Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Carrier, Gree, Midea, Haier, Hitachi, Whirlpool, TCL and hundreds of regional AC brands with full state control - mode, temperature, fan speed and swing. Wi-Fi models from Midea, Daikin, GREE and TCL work with no IR hardware.

Is it free?
Downloading and core remote control are free. Premium unlocks unlimited devices and all connection types, with a free trial before any charge.

What if my device isn't listed?
The code database updates automatically - new remotes arrive monthly without an app update. You can also learn codes from your original remote with a Broadlink blaster, or request your model in the app.
