## What is Mandu?

Mandu turns your iPhone into the remote for your Samsung smart TV. It talks to the TV over your Wi-Fi: no extra hardware, no account, no subscription.

FIND YOUR TV IN SECONDS
• Mandu scans your Wi-Fi and finds your Samsung TV, with its name and model.
• Accept the prompt on the TV once and you're set.
• Add more than one TV and switch between them from the title bar.

EVERY BUTTON YOU NEED
• Power, volume, mute, channels, arrows and OK, back, home and menu.
• Number pad, source and media keys: play, pause, stop, rewind and fast-forward.
• Hold volume, channels or the arrows to repeat, like a real remote.
• One-tap shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Disney+.

SEARCH WITHOUT THE ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD
• Speak or type on your iPhone and send the text straight to the TV's search box.

TURN IT ON AND OFF
• Turn the TV off from the app.
• Turn it on over the network with Wake-on-LAN (enable "Power On with Mobile" on the TV).

COMPATIBILITY
Samsung smart TVs with Tizen, from 2016 onwards. The iPhone and the TV must be on the same Wi-Fi.

FREE, WITH ONE SMALL AD
The whole remote is free. A small banner sits at the bottom and never covers a button.

MANDU PRO: ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION
• No ads, forever.
• The Home Screen widget: power, volume, channels, arrows and OK without opening the app.

Mandu is an independent app and is not affiliated with Samsung.
