Point your phone at the screen — Aimio already found your TV. No account, no setup wizard, no waiting. EVERY BUTTON UNLOCKED. NO ADS, EVER. Other remote apps paywall the basics — you can't even turn the volume down without hitting a subscription screen, and ads interrupt every few taps. Aimio never shows an ad. $3.99/month, $19.99/year with a real free trial, or pay $39.99 once and own Aimio Pro forever. Three honest options. Nothing hidden. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. BUILT FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD Large, high-contrast buttons. Full VoiceOver labels. Switch Control and Voice Control support. Dynamic Type that actually scales. If a standard remote's tiny buttons are hard to see or press, Aimio was designed for you first — not as an afterthought. WORKS THE WAY YOUR TV ALREADY DOES Aimio talks directly to your TV over your own Wi-Fi, using each brand's own control protocol — Roku's official remote API, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Vizio SmartCast, and the Google TV remote protocol. Nothing routes through a server. Nothing leaves your network. Sony sets use IRCC-IP; VIDAA (Hisense, Toshiba) sets use MQTT. Supports Roku, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, Google TV, and VIDAA (Hisense, Toshiba) models. (Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV are not supported — we'd rather tell you now than after you've paid.) EVERYWHERE YOU NEED IT Once your TV is paired, you don't even need to open the app. • Home Screen widget — 100% control right from your Home Screen: full D-pad, playback, and volume, every key unlocked • Apple Watch — instant D-pad, OK, and volume from your wrist • Lock Screen and Control Center — one-tap power, mute, and volume • Siri Shortcuts and App Shortcuts for hands-free control Lost the physical remote again? Open Aimio. Restore Purchases is always available if you reinstall or switch devices.
