## What is Vetrio?

The remote is missing again. Your iPhone is not.

Vetrio turns it into a real remote for the TV you already own. It finds the set on your own Wi-Fi, connects in seconds, and then gets out of the way. No ads. No subscription.

TRY EVERYTHING FREE FOR 14 DAYS

Connect your TV, tap Start once, and every feature is yours for 14 days. No card, no payment, nothing to cancel, nothing renews. Vetrio reminds you 2 days before the trial ends. If you decide to keep it, Vetrio Pro is one purchase, yours for good. If you don't, the remote simply locks again and nothing is charged.

WHY PEOPLE SWITCH

Most remote apps rent you a volume button. They interrupt with ads, or charge every week for the privilege of pressing Power. Vetrio asks once. There is no ad tier and nothing to renew.

WHAT YOU GET

Every button a normal remote has: power, arrows, OK, back, home, menu, volume, mute, play and pause, channels. And on top of that:
- Gesture touchpad and pointer
- Type with your iPhone keyboard, or say it
- Your TV's own app list and HDMI inputs
- Scenes: one tap for "TV on, HDMI 2, volume 15, open your streaming app"
- A Lock Screen and Dynamic Island remote, widgets and Control Center controls that never open the app
- Siri and Shortcuts with real parameters
- Several TVs, switched in a tap
- The Watch app, with the Crown as volume
- Volume sent to a soundbar or receiver

BUILT TO CONNECT

Vetrio finds your TV on your own Wi-Fi and reconnects on its own when the network drops or the TV wakes. If something is wrong, Connection help checks each step and tells you exactly what to change. Nothing leaves your home network.

COMPATIBILITY

Vetrio controls network-connected televisions and streaming players over your home Wi-Fi, including sets and players from Roku, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL and Vestel. Check your model first: you can connect your TV before anything starts, and the 14-day trial begins only when you tap Start.

Vetrio is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or certified by Roku, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., LG Electronics Inc., VIZIO, LLC, Sony Group Corporation, TCL Technology Group Corporation, or Vestel Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. All product names, trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used here solely to describe device compatibility.

WHAT IT COSTS

14 days free, everything unlocked. After that, Vetrio Pro is one purchase, yours for good, shared with your family through Family Sharing. No subscription. No ads. No second tier.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-01

Vetrio 2.0 is a new app, top to bottom.

- Try everything free for 14 days. Tap Start once: no card, no payment, nothing renews, and a reminder 2 days before it ends. After that, Vetrio Pro is one purchase, yours for good. It unlocks every button and every feature: the remote, touchpad, keyboard, voice, your TV's own apps and inputs, scenes, several TVs, the Watch and the Lock Screen.
- A calmer, clearer design in Klein blue, with glass where it helps and nowhere else.
- Setup in four taps. Your TV shows up on a card; tap Connect and you're in.
- Your TV's real app list, with its own icons, and a picker for HDMI and other inputs.
- "What's on" shows the app that's playing, and on some TVs the title too.
- Scenes: one tap for "TV on, HDMI 2, volume 15, open your streaming app".
- Siri and Shortcuts can open an app, switch input, set a volume or run a scene.
- A Lock Screen remote with volume and play/pause, plus new widgets and controls. None of them open the app.
- Vestel, Regal, Finlux and European Toshiba, JVC, Telefunken and Hitachi sets are now supported.
- Volume can go to your soundbar or receiver instead of the TV.
- Reconnects on its own after Wi-Fi drops or the TV sleeps. Connection help checks every step and tells you what to fix.
- The Watch app is redesigned: no scrolling on any size, and the Crown sets the volume.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-03

The remote screen is new.
Ten floating panels became one control surface. Three button sizes, one centre line, five equal keys along the bottom, and nothing beyond a thumb.
- Volume is now a rocker you can drag. Slide it for a run of steps, tap it for one.
- The touchpad answers your finger with a moving field of light.
- Three more TV families are supported, and a new Add a TV screen lays out every platform in one place.
- Connecting is far more reliable. Two dozen defects fixed, including the timeout that killed the pairing prompt halfway through the dialogue. If Vetrio could not reach your TV before, try it again.
- Six controls that refused to be pressed now work.
- A real light theme, with a Light / System / Dark picker in Settings. The old one was never reachable.
- International Klein Blue is the new accent colour.
- The Apple Watch app is rebuilt and fits every watch size, touchpad first.
- When a connection fails, the app names the step it reached and what the TV replied.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-15

What's New in 1.2

A faster remote — from the Home Screen, from Siri, and from your keyboard.

NEW
• Home Screen widget — wake the TV, go Home, and change volume without opening the app. On iOS 18, add the same controls to Control Center and the Lock Screen.
• Siri & Shortcuts — wake your TV, turn the volume up or down, mute, or go Home.
• Type on Android TV from your iPhone. Search YouTube right from the keyboard. Search Netflix opens Netflix on the TV.

IMPROVED
• Voice: speak, then stop. Vetrio sends the command when you finish — no extra tap.
• Home and remote buttons now share one size. Cleaner, easier to hit.
• TV not showing up? Enter its IP address. TV asleep? Power still wakes it.

FIXED
• Letters no longer double as you type.
• Search Netflix no longer shows “no app to handle this” on Mi Box.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-13
