The clean webOS TV remote. No ads. No account. No subscription โ€” ever. One one-time purchase, and it's yours for good. Lost your remote? Batteries dead? Dog ate it? Your phone is now a full webOS remote โ€” and this one won't show you an ad every time you press a button. Built for one thing only: replacing your webOS Smart Remote. No screen mirroring gimmicks, no "universal" bloat, no sign-ups, no weekly subscription traps. Just a fast, reliable remote that works. EVERYTHING A REMOTE SHOULD DO Power on and off โ€” including turning your TV ON via Wake-on-LAN (most remote apps can't) Volume, mute, channels Full navigation: D-pad, OK, Back, Home, Exit Input switching โ€” jump straight to HDMI, console, or streaming stick ONE-TAP POWER-ON, WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THE APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets โ€” one tap and the TV wakes Control Center โ€” add it next to your torch and camera Ask Siri to turn the TV on Works even when the TV is asleep in standby Widgets need iOS 17; the Control Center control needs iOS 18.2 Widgets, Control Center and Siri are part of the full version AND THE THINGS PLASTIC CAN'T Touchpad pointer โ€” swipe like a Magic Remote cursor Type with your phone keyboard โ€” no more spelling passwords with arrow keys One-tap app shortcuts: Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and more Control multiple TVs and switch between them CONNECTS. STAYS CONNECTED. Works over Wi-Fi with webOS TVs (2014 and newer). Smart discovery finds your TV automatically โ€” even ethernet-connected TVs that other apps can't see โ€” with manual IP as backup. Pairs once, reconnects instantly. Haptic feedback on every press. ONE-TIME PURCHASE. NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION. Try the whole app free for 3 days โ€” nothing held back. After that, the basics stay free forever: power, volume and mute inside the app. Your remote never dies on you. Everything else โ€” touchpad, phone keyboard, app shortcuts, multiple TVs, and the widgets, Control Center control and Siri power-on โ€” unlocks with one single purchase. Pay once, keep it for good. No renewals, no "pro" tier, no second payment, ever. No subscription. No ads. No account. No tracking. We don't want your email, and we can't see what you watch. COMPATIBILITY Smart TVs running webOS (2014 and newer). Phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network. "Turn On Via Wi-Fi" must be enabled in TV settings for power-on. Not compatible with TVs made before 2014 or with other operating systems. Questions? appshelp@clixappsai.com
