Zapper turns your iPhone into a clean, modern remote for compatible smart TVs on your local network. Download free, try 30 remote actions, then go unlimited with a Zapper Pro subscription or lifetime purchase. Find your TV automatically or enter its IP address manually, approve pairing on the TV, and get quick access to the controls you use most: power, navigation, volume, channel up/down, number pad, playback, Home, Back, Menu, Source, Settings, Search, and keyboard text input. When a compatible TV reports launchable installed apps, Zapper can show matching streaming shortcuts; Home opens the TV's home screen. WHY PEOPLE USE ZAPPER • Fast access to the controls you actually need • Verified streaming shortcuts when a compatible TV confirms an installed app • Automatic discovery for compatible TVs on the same Wi-Fi • Manual IP entry when discovery is blocked by your router or network setup • Saved pairing token for easier reconnects • Wake support for previously paired TVs when Wake-on-LAN is available • On-device Demo Mode so you can explore the app without a live TV • Free download with 30 remote actions before unlock • Zapper Pro: weekly or annual subscription (annual includes a 3-day free trial), or a lifetime purchase • No account, cloud relay for TV control, or in-app ads GOOD TO KNOW • Real TV control requires a compatible Samsung TV, local network access, and the TV and iPhone on the same network • After 30 free remote actions, continued control requires Zapper Pro • Demo Mode lets you explore the app interface; it does not control a real TV • Installed-app reporting, streaming shortcuts, and direct-launch support vary by TV model • Zapper is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ZAPPER PRO SUBSCRIPTIONS Zapper Pro is available as a weekly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Lifetime purchases made before subscriptions were introduced keep full access.

Breeze TV Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breeze turns your iPhone into a beautifully simple remote for your Samsung Smart TV. No sign-up. No account. No ads. No tracking. Open Breeze and it finds your TV on your Wi-Fi network — you're in control within seconds. EVERY TV IN THE HOUSE, ONE APP Living room, bedroom, kitchen — save them all. Your TVs sit in a row across the top, each with a live connection light, and switching between them takes a single tap. FINDS YOUR TVs FOR YOU Tap Scan and Breeze searches your network for compatible Samsung TVs. Pick yours from the list and confirm once on the TV screen. That's it — Breeze remembers them from then on. EVERYTHING YOU REACH FOR A large, comfortable direction pad, OK, Back and Home, plus volume up, down and mute. Big touch targets and crisp haptics, designed for one-handed use in a dark room. WAKE YOUR TV FROM SLEEP Press power and Breeze wakes your TV over the network, even after the app has been closed. No hunting for the plastic remote. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Breeze talks directly to your TV over your own Wi-Fi. Nothing is sent to the internet, there are no accounts, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Your TV details never leave your iPhone. A NOTE ABOUT SAMSUNG'S CONNECTION NOTICE Samsung TVs display a notice on screen each time an app connects. This is a security feature built into the TV, and it is not something Breeze can switch off. After you have allowed Breeze once, the notice stops repeating only if your TV is set to announce first connections only: Settings › General › External Device Manager › Device Connect Manager › Access Notification › First Time Only Breeze still needs your permission the very first time. This only changes how often your TV repeats the notice for a connection you have already approved. REQUIREMENTS • A Samsung Smart TV from 2016 or later (Tizen) • iPhone and TV on the same Wi-Fi network Breeze is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Samsung. Samsung and Samsung Smart TV are trademarks of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
