Lost your TV remote again? TVee turns your phone into a universal TV remote control for Android TV, Google TV, and most Smart TV brands. Change channels, adjust volume, search by voice, and type with a built-in keyboard - all from one app, without hunting for a remote or juggling three different ones for three different TVs. TVee finds your TV automatically over your home Wi-Fi network - no IR blaster, no pairing codes, no manual setup. Once connected, you get a full navigation pad for precise directional control, volume and mute, channel up and down, and a power button that turns your TV on or off from across the room. A touchpad mode lets you swipe and tap the way you would on a laptop trackpad, which is faster than tapping arrows one at a time when you're scrolling through a long list of shows. Typing show titles or login codes on a TV keyboard with a directional pad is slow. TVee's built-in keyboard lets you type directly from your phone, and voice search finds a movie, show, or app the moment you tap the mic and speak - no more spelling out titles letter by letter. Main features: Universal remote for Android TV, Google TV, and major brands including Philips, Sony, TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Skyworth, Haier, OnePlus TV, Roku TV, Fire TV, and Chromecast devices - Voice search and built-in keyboard for fast text input - Full navigation pad, volume, mute, and channel controls - Touchpad mode for swipe-based navigation - Hotkeys and app shortcuts to launch YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and more - Power on/off control and automatic TV detection over Wi-Fi - Recent devices, so reconnecting to your last TV takes one tap - Support for multiple saved TVs Connecting takes under a minute: put your phone and TV on the same Wi-Fi network, open TVee and wait a few seconds until your TV appears in the list, then tap to connect. No hardware, no IR blaster, no separate remote app for each brand. Who TVee is for: Your remote is lost, broken, or buried somewhere in the couch cushions again You've got a Philips in the bedroom, a Sony in the living room, and a Fire TV stick in the kitchen, and you're tired of three different remotes You're setting up a new Android TV or Google TV and don't want to wait for a replacement remote to arrive You want to type a password or search a title without spelling it out with a directional pad TVee includes a free trial. After the trial, continued access is available through a subscription (weekly or annual) or a one-time lifetime purchase - pricing and terms are shown before you're charged, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple ID account settings. Your phone. Every TV in the house. One remote. Disclaimer: TVee – Remote Control for TV is an independent application not affiliated with any of the brands mentioned above.
