Turn your iPhone into a smarter remote for your Samsung Smart TV — no clunky Samsung app, no missing Source button, no lag. sRemote connects directly to your TV over your local Wi-Fi network — for instant control with no round-trip through the internet or any third-party servers. Got more than one Samsung TV? Control them all from one remote. Free Trial — See if it works and whether you like it: This connects using your TV's own local network remote feature, so results can vary slightly by model and software version — and it's simply worth finding out whether you like using it before you commit. That's exactly why the app starts with a free trial. If it works well for you, unlock it forever with one small one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. WORKS WITH Samsung Smart TVs running Tizen OS (Basically every Samsung Smart TV from 2016 onward.) Core functions (power, navigation, volume, channel, input switching) work reliably across this range. Additional features that may or may not work: direct hdmi 1-4 button FEATURES • A dedicated Source button — missing from many of Samsung's own physical remotes • Fully customizable layout: a classic button grid or a drag-style joystick control, show or hide channel buttons, add a direct number pad to jump straight to a channel • Turn your TV on from fully off over Wi-Fi (Wake-on-LAN), on TVs that support it • Optional direct-to-HDMI-input shortcuts, for TVs/firmware that support it (an experimental bonus, not guaranteed on every model) • Hold-to-repeat on volume and channel, just like a real remote • Full landscape support • More PRIVACY, ACTUALLY sRemote doesn't collect, share, or sell any of your data. No ads, no tracking, no account sign-up. Your TV's IP address and settings stay on your device.
