NO ADS. Surface Remote for Companion turns an iPhone or iPad into a button surface for Bitfocus Companion. It connects over Companion's Satellite API, on your own network, and shows your Companion buttons live. Built for control rooms, live events, streams, churches, schools and AV booths — anywhere you run a show from Companion and want one more set of buttons in your hand. WHAT IT DOES • Connects to Companion as a Satellite surface (WebSocket, port 16623 by default) • Finds Companion on your network by itself — tap it to connect, no address to type • Live button text, colour and press state from Companion • Tap or hold to press; page up and down; current page shown • Dashboard: pick the keys you need from any Companion page and put them on one screen • Operator mode: share chosen Dashboard keys with a crew member's phone by QR code; they see only those keys, and you can revoke them at any time • PIN lock: when Companion's PIN lock is on, unlock with the app's own keypad • Keeps the screen awake while connected • Light, Dark or System theme • Free to download and use • Remembers your last Companion and your surface settings, and connects on launch • Multi-Instance (in-app purchase, $9.99): save several servers, switch between them right on the surface, and on iPad run two surfaces at once • Auto reconnect when Companion restarts • Choose the grid: rows, columns, text size • Optional button artwork, or text-only for the fastest updates • Optional advanced layout with encoder controls • Diagnostics: latency, uptime, reconnects, Companion version, and a connection log you can share • Landscape layout for iPhone and iPad, or turn the surface upright with one tap • Settings in their own tab; the Connect and Settings screens turn with your phone PRIVACY No account. No ads. No analytics. The app talks only to the Companion server you use. Saved servers stay on your device. The camera is used only to scan an Operator QR code, on the device. REQUIREMENTS Bitfocus Companion running on a computer on the same network, with the Satellite WebSocket listener on. Dashboard and Operator mode need Companion 5 with Satellite subscriptions on.
