Down the sofa, out of batteries, or chewed by the dog. Open AirMouse and the TV is already in the list.

Who it's for
For every moment the remote isn't enough.
Or isn't there at all. AirMouse is built around the situations that send people looking for a remote app.
A house of different TVs
A Samsung in the living room, an LG in the bedroom, a Roku in the kitchen. One app runs all of them.
Named TVs, switched in a tap
Typing on the TV
Searches, passwords and sign-in codes, typed letter by letter with a D-pad. Or with your phone's keyboard in seconds.
Keyboard, paste and voice
Apps that want a pointer
Browsers and apps that weren't built for a D-pad. Point with the air mouse or glide on the touchpad.
A real pointer on LG and Bluetooth
Big, clear controls
Large keys, spoken names for every control, haptics you can feel, and a setting for even larger keys.
TalkBack, larger keys, key labels
A TV that isn't yours
A holiday rental or a hotel room. No account to make, and plain guidance when something isn't set up.
No sign-up, clear fixes
Five ways to control
Use the control that fits the moment.
The remote shows what you press every session. The rest is one tap away. Switch modes and the rest of the screen stays put.
D-pad, right where your thumb expects it
A large D-pad with a single bright OK. Back, Home and Menu below it. Volume on the left, channel on the right. Tap to step once, hold to repeat. Power and Input sit in the header.
- A haptic tap on every press
- Your phone's volume buttons can change the TV volume
- Volume and play controls on the lock screen while connected
A real touchpad for the TV
Drag to move, tap to click, use two fingers or the right-hand rail to scroll. On LG TVs and over Bluetooth it moves a real pointer. On other TVs, swipes become D-pad steps.
- Pointer speed, scroll direction and tap to click in Settings
- Gestures start inside the pad, so edge swipes stay with your phone
Point your phone. The cursor follows.
Hold the orb and move your wrist, like a laser pointer for your TV. Let go and the pointer parks. Recenter puts it back in the middle of the screen.
- Uses your phone's gyroscope, only while you hold the orb
- Hold to point, or tap once to switch it on
Type with the keyboard you already know
Search, sign in and fill forms with your phone's own keyboard. Text appears on the TV as you type. Paste from your phone, or send a search straight to the TV.
- Voice search: speak, and the words are typed on the TV
- The microphone is used only after you tap the voice key
Every key, one tap away
Numbers, the four colour keys, Guide, Info and Subtitles live in one sheet. The main remote stays calm.
- Keys a TV can't use are dimmed, not hidden, so nothing moves between TVs
How it works
Connected in three steps. Remembered after that.
Pair once and AirMouse reconnects to the same TV the next time you open it.
Choose Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
Wi-Fi for smart TVs on the same network as your phone. Bluetooth for streaming sticks and TVs without Wi-Fi.
Pick your TV
AirMouse searches your Wi-Fi for Google TV, Samsung, LG and Roku. Not listed? Enter its IP address.
Confirm on the TV
Enter the code shown on the TV, or choose Allow. Roku needs neither. You only do this once.

Allow AirMouse to connect?

Connection
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You always know which.
The TV's name and connection sit at the top of every control screen. AirMouse says which method it's using, every time.
Wi-Fi
For smart TVs on the same network as your phone. AirMouse finds them for you. The first time, you confirm on the TV.
- Google TV and Android TV
- Samsung (2016 and later)
- LG webOS
- Roku
Bluetooth
For streaming sticks and TVs without Wi-Fi. Your phone pairs as a keyboard and mouse, so anything that accepts a Bluetooth keyboard works.
- TVs and projectors
- Streaming sticks and boxes
- Computers

Your TVs
All your TVs. One remote.
Living room, bedroom, kitchen. Switch TVs in a tap. AirMouse checks which ones are on and reachable before you pick.
- Rename a TV, see its address and what it supports
- Connect to your usual TV as soon as the app opens
- Forget a TV and its keys in one step
Feels like hardware
Five kinds of control. Five shapes you can find by feel.
A phone-native controller, not a physical remote drawn on glass. Every press answers at once: the key sinks, darkens and taps back.
Navigation
The D-pad, with one bright OK where your thumb lands
Pointer
Touchpad and air mouse, in Ion blue for air and motion
Commands
Back, Home, Menu, Mute and Keyboard
Levels
Volume and channel rockers. Tap to step, hold to repeat.
Media
Play, pause, rewind and fast-forward
- 01
Instant
No animation delays a command. The key reacts the moment your finger lands.
- 02
Felt, not just seen
A light tap for keys, a firmer one for OK, a tick for each volume step and a stop at the limit.
- 03
Calm by default
The main remote shows what you press every session. Numbers and colour keys are one tap away.
Always visible
If the link drops, the remote stays.
Controls dim instead of disappearing, and AirMouse quietly reconnects for ten seconds before asking you. State is shown by the dot's shape and a word, never by colour alone.

Is AirMouse an infrared remote?
No. AirMouse talks to your TV over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. TVs that only accept infrared aren't supported.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app, pick your TV and confirm on the TV.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Over Wi-Fi, commands go straight from your phone to your TV on your home network. Bluetooth needs no network at all. Voice search may use your phone's speech service online.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. AirMouse is for Android phones running Android 7 or later.
Pick up your phone. Control your TV.
Install AirMouse, choose Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and confirm on your TV.
