Your devices. One place. Remotly brings compatible TVs and supported smart home devices together on your iPhone. Add a device, see the controls it offers, and keep your favorites within reach. TV REMOTE Find a compatible TV on your local network and pair it. Navigate, adjust volume, change channels, and use playback controls. On supported TVs, pointer, app shortcuts, input selection, and text entry are also available. Features vary by model and the app running on the TV. SMART HOME Connect your own home automation server to control supported lights, plugs, climate devices, curtains, vacuums, fans, and locks. Supported Wi-Fi lights, switches, and covers can be found on your local network, and compatible lighting bridges can be paired too. Remotly shows controls based on the capabilities each device reports. YOUR DEVICES Save devices with familiar names and switch between them from one list. Follow your iPhone's language or choose from 40 language and regional options; translations work offline. COMPATIBILITY Supported services, network access, device software, and pairing requirements vary. A device category or brand alone does not guarantee compatibility. A home automation server requires your own server and access token; bridge-based lights require a compatible bridge. Device discovery uses your local network. Finding and pairing devices is free. Remote and device controls require Remotly Pro. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled; the annual plan offers a three-day introductory trial to eligible customers. A lifetime purchase is also available. Prices and eligibility are shown before purchase. Restore Purchases is available in the app. No Remotly account is required. Remotly is an independent application and is not affiliated with device manufacturers or integration providers.
