For iPhone and iPad

one remote
for every TV.

Control finds the TVs on your Wi-Fi and becomes their remote. Free, with no ads, purchases or tracking.

Your remote, wherever you are on your iPhone

The remote

Keys that feel
like the real thing.

A large D-pad around the OK key, or a touchpad you swipe. Volume and channel rockers, playback, mute, inputs and a keyboard for search, with haptics and soft clicks.

  • Paired once. Accept the prompt or type the code your TV shows, and Control stays connected from then on.
  • Found on your Wi-Fi. Open Control and your TVs are listed. No accounts, no setup.

Siri and Apple Intelligence

Just ask.

Say what you want in your own words, like “turn it down a bit and put on Netflix.” Apple Intelligence works it out on your iPhone, and nothing is sent anywhere.

  • Siri and Shortcuts. “Turn the TV off with Control,” “Mute the TV with Control,” “Open YouTube on the TV with Control.”
  • Control Center and the Action button. TV Power, Play/Pause, Mute, Volume and Skip Ad, one press away.

Skip Ads

Skip ads,
hands-free.

Tap Skip Ad when an ad starts, and Control presses Skip the moment it appears. Choose a wait from 10 to 60 seconds.

  • On your Lock Screen. Pin Skip Ad to the Lock Screen remote and the Dynamic Island, beside volume, mute, play and power.
  • Made for skippable ads. Works with YouTube and other apps that show a Skip button.
