About

Breeze TV Remote

Read 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.
