## What is Couch?

Your iPhone. Your new TV remote.

Couch brings your everyday TV controls together in one beautifully simple app. Navigate with familiar buttons, swipe with the touchpad, type using your iPhone keyboard and keep your favorite app shortcuts close at hand.

CONTROL YOUR WAY
Use directional buttons for familiar navigation or switch to the touchpad to swipe and tap through TV menus.

TYPE WITH YOUR IPHONE
Enter text from your iPhone instead of selecting letters one by one with a physical remote. Keyboard availability depends on your TV and the active text field.

KEEP YOUR FAVORITES CLOSE
Launch supported TV apps and customize your shortcuts for quicker access.

MORE CONTROLS, ONE PLACE
Access playback controls, volume, channels and additional TV actions. Available controls vary by television and platform.

MAKE IT YOURS
Adjust your remote layout, touchpad sensitivity, volume steps, haptics, appearance and accent color.

CONNECT TO YOUR SMART TV
Couch supports compatible smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Roku, TCL, Philips, Panasonic, Sony, Hisense, Sharp, Toshiba, JVC and Tesla, including supported Android TV and Google TV models.

Connect your iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network and follow the pairing instructions. Your TV may require an on-screen code or permission before connecting. Compatibility and feature availability depend on the model, TV software and network settings.

COUCH PRO
Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or unlock lifetime access with a one-time purchase. New eligible subscribers can try Couch Pro free for 3 days where offered. See the purchase screen for current pricing, available features and trial eligibility.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation, or when an eligible free trial ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase.
