## What is WLED+?

WLED+ is an independent, modern app for controlling WLED LED strips, matrices, and light installations from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

It talks directly to your devices over your local network. Device control stays local, with no account, no cloud control, and no ad tracking.

WHY WLED+
WLED+ is built as a native companion app for WLED, with a polished interface for newcomers and deeper controls for makers.

FEATURES
- Visual layout editor: see your segments on a canvas, tap to select them, and drag to reshape your strip or matrix.
- Live preview: watch your device's real LED colors stream onto the canvas as you edit.
- Animated effect previews: see what an effect looks like before you apply it.
- Smart segments: automatically fill gaps in your layout or split the largest segment when you add a new one.
- Device groups: organize and control multiple devices together.
- Presets and playlists: save favorite looks and auto-add new presets to a playlist.
- Randomizer: automatically cycle through your presets.
- Full control: brightness, colors, palettes, effects, nightlight, and per-segment settings.
- Sound-reactive effect support for WLED SR.

PRIVACY FIRST
No login. Device control stays on your local network. Crash reports are used only to improve reliability and are never sold.

Works with WLED and WLED SR firmware v0.13.3 and above, and is optimized for screens of all sizes.

Made by an independent husband-and-wife team from Venice, CA. WLED+ is an independent companion app for WLED and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the WLED project; all credit for the firmware goes to the WLED community.

## Key features

- Improved user interface
- Effect previews
- Device grouping
- Layout support for segment configurations
- Automatic segment gap finding
- Playlist saving for presets

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2025-12-17, version 1.7.1*

2-3 times a week I try to adjust my lights and get a message saying the “device is unreachable”, yet I’m standing in the same spot I was in the day before when I could reach it. There are also limited choices when it comes to choosing patterns, and it isn’t user friendly for creating your own designs of anything other than all static lights of 1 or 2 colours.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-29*

Really great app well designed and super useful

### 5/5 — Finally, a working alternative

*2025-09-24, version 1.5.7*

The original WLED app got progressively worse, until all it did was crash my controllers.  This fixes all those problems, and goes that last mile to render a beautiful and elegant solution.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2025-05-31, version 1.5.7*

A labor of love, and it shows. Thank you sincerely for such a gift to the community.

### 5/5 — Fantastic.

*2025-02-02, version 1.5.3*

Thank you. Great app

### 5/5 — Geniale App.

*2024-12-15, version 1.5.3*

Gibt nichts auszusetzen.

### 5/5 — Wunderschöne App mit einem kleinem Bug

*2024-12-08, version 1.5.3*

Wirklich eine sehr schöne UI, aber wenn man am Anfang versucht eine iP Adresse manuell einzugeben und man eine hat welche wie in meinem Fall so aussieht 192.xxx.x.xxx geht das nicht. Automatisch geht die App davon aus 192.xxx.xxx.xxx man könnte nun natürlich die Komma Taste drücken allerdings ging diese bei mir nicht. Das fällt aber nur auf wenn man nicht die Automatische Erkennung nutzt. Aber abgesehen von dieser Kleinigkeit eine wirklich coole app 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2024-11-30, version 1.5.3*

Works flawless

### 4/5 — Strange

*2024-11-29, version 1.5.3*

While I love the new look it’s strange that this app cannot see some of my controllers yet the old app on my iPad sees them all maybe I’m doing something wrong?

### 5/5 — Better than expected🙌🏻

*2024-06-18, version 1.4.1*

There are not many apps which are able to control the wled led lights. However this is by far the best one I’ve used. Super clean look and works smoothly. It also comes with the native wled application!!
