Dirigo

Dirigo is a fast, focused iPhone remote for current Marantz and Denon AV receivers. It discovers your receiver over Wi-Fi and gives you a real control surface that goes well beyond what the bundled remote can do. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Power your receiver on and off • Adjust master volume • Switch between every input source • Pick from every surround mode your receiver supports • Browse and play HEOS streaming sources — Qobuz, TIDAL, Amazon Music, TuneIn, and the rest • Manage the playback queue, see what is playing, skip tracks, view history • Switch between zones on multi-zone receivers • Configure room correction, speaker levels, HDMI output, video settings, and the deep menus your physical remote pretends don't exist • Activate Quick Selects you have programmed on the receiver • Use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for at-a-glance status • Trigger common actions with Siri Shortcuts ("Mute the receiver", "Turn on the receiver") APPLE TV INTEGRATION Pair an Apple TV in the same room and Dirigo gains a touchpad remote — swipe to navigate, tap to select, dedicated transport buttons, and volume that routes back to your receiver instead of the Apple TV. A live now-playing card shows what is actually on screen, with title, artist, and artwork. DEMO MODE No receiver to test against? Tap "Enable Demo Mode" on the Welcome screen to explore every part of the UI with synthetic receiver state. PRIVACY Dirigo collects nothing. No analytics, no identifiers, no third-party tracking SDKs, no accounts to sign in to. All receiver and Apple TV control happens entirely on your local Wi-Fi network. The only public-internet activity is when you browse a HEOS streaming source — iOS loads album art directly from the music service's own image URLs, anonymously. Full policy at bit0100bitsoftware.com/dirigo-privacy. REQUIREMENTS A current-generation Marantz or Denon AV receiver with HEOS (Cinema 50, SR-series, AVR-X-series, and similar models). iOS 18 or later. Your receiver must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone. Apple TV pairing requires tvOS 18 or later on the Apple TV. Dirigo is an independent third-party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sound United, Denon, Marantz, or Apple.
