Our Apps
One idea, four dedicated remote apps
Every TV platform behaves differently under the hood, so instead of one bloated app, we built a focused remote for each ecosystem. Pick the one that matches your TV.
LG TV Remote
A dedicated remote for LG webOS smart TVs, built around Magic Remote-style pointer control.
- Pointer & motion‑style navigation
- Quick access to input source switching
- Works over your home Wi‑Fi network
Roku TV Remote
Control any Roku TV or Roku streaming stick with instant channel shortcuts and private listening.
- One‑tap shortcuts to popular channels
- Private listening through headphones
- Voice‑style search input
Fire TV Remote
Everything the Fire TV Stick remote does — navigation, playback, and app launching — from your phone.
- Launch installed apps instantly
- Media playback & scrubbing controls
- Works with Fire TV Stick & Fire TV Cube
Why Choose RemoteWave
Built for people who just want their TV to respond
We designed RemoteWave around the three things people actually complain about with lost or broken remotes: reliability, speed, and simplicity.
Fast, direct connections
RemoteWave talks to your TV directly over your local network — no lag, no waiting for a cloud round trip just to press "play."
Privacy‑respecting by design
We only request the permissions each app genuinely needs to find and control your TV. No unnecessary data collection, ever.
Designed for real remotes
Every layout mirrors what you already know — D‑pad, volume, home, back — so there's nothing new to learn.
One app per platform
No generic "universal remote" compromises. Each app is purpose‑built for how its TV platform actually works.
Actively maintained
Smart TV software changes constantly. We ship regular updates so RemoteWave keeps working as platforms evolve.
Free to get started
Download and start controlling your TV right away. No credit card required to try the core remote features.
Main Features
Everything a physical remote does — and a few things it doesn't
Full D‑pad & touchpad
Switch between a classic directional pad or a swipe‑based touchpad, whichever feels more natural for the platform you're using.
Type with your phone keyboard
Enter passwords, search terms, and login details using the keyboard you already know instead of hunting-and-pecking with arrow keys.
Volume & playback controls
Play, pause, skip, rewind, mute, and adjust volume with the same one‑tap simplicity as your original remote.
Instant power & input switching
Turn the TV on or off and jump straight to HDMI 1, HDMI 2, or any other input without cycling through menus.
App & channel launching
Jump straight into your streaming apps or favorite channels with one‑tap shortcuts instead of scrolling through a home screen.
Automatic device discovery
RemoteWave scans your Wi‑Fi network and lists compatible TVs automatically, so pairing takes seconds, not minutes.
How It Works
From download to full control in under a minute
The exact pairing screen varies slightly by platform, but the overall flow is the same across every RemoteWave app.

FAQs
Quick answers before you download
Yes. RemoteWave apps connect to your TV over your home Wi‑Fi network and send the same commands a physical remote would — navigation, volume, playback, and more — directly from your phone's screen.
In almost all cases, yes. Our apps discover your TV by looking for it on the local network, so both devices need to share the same Wi‑Fi network (not a guest network with client isolation enabled) for pairing to work.
Every RemoteWave app is free to download and includes the core remote-control features. Some apps may offer optional extras — this is clearly indicated on each app's store listing before you install.
Double-check that both devices are on the same Wi‑Fi network, restart your TV's network connection, and make sure the app has local network permission enabled in your phone's settings. Our full troubleshooting guides cover platform-specific fixes.
