## What is Boring Remote?

Boring Remote is a TV remote for your iPhone that just works and never asks for a subscription.

Every button is free. Pick up your phone, and the remote you used last is already open.

EVERY BUTTON, FREE
• Clickpad or swipe pad: one swipe moves exactly one step
• Volume you can feel, like a notched wheel
• Number pad for channels
• Power, mute, play/pause, back, home and menu
• Extra TV buttons: settings, info, guide, captions, colour buttons and more
• Turn Samsung and LG TVs on over Wi-Fi (when the TV allows it)
• Strong haptics, so you can use it without looking

YOUR TV AND STREAMING BOX ON ONE REMOTE
Pair a TV with the streaming box plugged into it. Arrows go to the box; power and volume go to the TV. When the TV turns off, the box can go Home or to sleep too. One room, one remote.

WORKS WITH
Samsung and LG smart TVs, Fire TV, Roku, Google TV and Android TV, and Vizio SmartCast TVs.

PRO: PAY ONCE, KEEP IT
• Unlimited rooms
• Type with your phone keyboard; it opens by itself when the TV wants text
• Lock Screen card with play/pause, mute and volume
• Control Center, widget and Action Button: play/pause, mute, turn off the TV
• App launcher (Roku)

Try any Pro feature in the demo rooms before you buy.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No account. Nothing tracked. Boring Remote talks only to the devices on your Wi-Fi.

Your phone and TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
