## What is TV Captain?

TV Captain turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote for the TVs in your home. It finds them on your Wi-Fi, connects in a few taps, and shows only the controls your TV actually supports.

No account. No sign-up. Open it and start pressing.

A REMOTE THAT FEELS BETTER THAN THE ONE YOU LOST
• Swipe on the on-screen TV to move and tap for OK, or use the direction pad
• Volume, mute, channels, playback, Back, Home and power, one thumb away
• Open your TV's apps from a row of shortcuts

REMOTE AI
• Tap the mic and say what you want, like "open movies and volume up"
• One request can run several actions, and you see each step as it happens
• Prefer not to speak? Type the command instead
• Voice commands are in English

A REAL KEYBOARD
• Type searches and logins on your device instead of hunting for letters on the TV
• Dictate text when your hands are full

MEDIA BEAM
• Show photos and videos from your library on a compatible TV
• Choose up to 20 photos or 5 videos at a time
• Use the iOS screen mirroring control for everything else

A REMOTE FOR EVERY ROOM
• Save each TV to a room and switch with one tap
• TV Captain reconnects to your last TV when you open the app
• Run routines like Movie Night and Quiet Mode, and use Siri and Shortcuts for quick commands

WORKS WITH
TV Captain connects over your local Wi-Fi network, so your iPhone or iPad and your TV need to be on the same network. It works with many smart TVs and streaming devices. The controls you get depend on your TV's model, software, region, network and installed apps.

YOUR PRIVACY
Commands go directly from your device to your TV over your local network. The microphone and speech recognition are used only when you start a voice feature, and speech is processed by Apple's speech recognition service. See the privacy policy for details about diagnostics and analytics.

TV Captain is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any TV manufacturer.
