Take control of your comfort with Remote AC—a simple, modern controller for compatible air conditioners in Apple Home. Adjust your AC without searching for the physical remote. Remote AC brings essential controls, device status, timers, comfort insights, and maintenance reminders together in one calm, easy-to-use app. KEY FEATURES • Control power, temperature, operating mode, fan speed, and swing • Find compatible climate devices already connected to Apple Home • View connection status and manage multiple rooms • Set convenient shutoff timers • Organize and review comfort schedules • Get weather-aware temperature guidance powered by Apple Weather • Track filter maintenance with helpful reminders • Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit • See clear feedback when commands succeed or fail • Use manual city entry when location access is unavailable FREE, SUPPORTED BY ADS Remote AC is free and supported by advertising. Banner ads appear on the main screens, and a full-screen ad may appear when you open the app or after you send several commands. REMOVE ADS A one-time in-app purchase removes all ads permanently. You can also watch a short rewarded video to remove ads for one hour. YOUR DATA Remote AC does not require an account. Your devices, schedules, timers, and maintenance records stay on your device. The app contains no analytics SDK. Google AdMob processes advertising data to serve and measure ads; the app shows Google's consent message where required and asks for your tracking permission, and you can change both at any time in Settings → Privacy Choices. Location is requested only when you choose to view local weather insights. Compatibility and available controls depend on the climate device and the features it exposes through Apple Home.
