## What is Handy TV Remote?

Most "universal remote" apps make you subscribe - or they paywall the volume and power
buttons and bury the screen in ads. Handy doesn't. Every button works for free, there are no
ads, and the one-time Pro unlock - no subscription, no auto-renew, no trial - is only for the
extras.

Turn your phone into a proper remote for the TV in the living room - or every room. Handy
connects over your Wi-Fi network: a fast, tactile D-pad, real volume and playback control,
keyboard typing, and voice search, so you stop hunting for the plastic remote wedged in the
couch.

FREE - the whole remote, no catch
• D-pad, OK, back, home, volume, mute, channel, and playback - all of it, free
• Type with your phone keyboard instead of pecking letters one at a time
• Voice search - speak, and it lands in the TV's search box
• Launch apps like Netflix and YouTube straight from the grid
• Quick reconnect - Handy remembers your TV and connects the moment you open it

WORKS WITH
• Sony (Smart TV / Bravia)
• Samsung (Tizen smart TVs)
• LG (webOS)
• Roku and Roku TV

HANDY PRO - one-time $2.99, no subscription
One payment unlocks the extras and keeps them forever - bought once, yours for good. We will
never turn it into a subscription. No weekly fee, no auto-renew, no "3-day trial" that charges
you on day one.
• Customizable buttons - map the quick-action slots to any app or function you want
• Control every room - save all your TVs and switch between them in a tap
• Themes & accents - give each TV its own color so you always know which one you're pointing at

No ads. No account. No tracking. No subscription.
Your phone and TV just need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Pairing codes and settings stay
on your device - nothing is sent to us.
