Universal Remote turns your iPhone into a remote control for TVs, air conditioners, streaming devices, and anything with an IR blaster. 14,000+ code sets, 39 languages, no account needed.
Universal Remote is an iPhone app that replaces every remote control in your home with a single app. It controls smart TVs over Wi-Fi (Samsung, LG, Sony, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV) and infrared devices through IR blasters (Broadlink RM4, Tiqiaa, ESP8266, Global Caché). With 14,000+ ready-made IR code sets covering TVs, air conditioners, soundbars, projectors, and more, most devices work instantly with no learning or setup. Custom remote layouts, one-tap scenes, an Apple Watch app, and Siri Shortcuts round out a complete replacement for every physical remote in your house.

Not for smart TVs and streaming devices — Universal Remote controls Samsung, LG, Sony, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Android TV directly over Wi-Fi with no extra hardware. For traditional infrared devices (older TVs, ACs, soundbars, projectors), you need a compatible IR blaster like a Broadlink RM4, Tiqiaa Bluetooth dongle, or a DIY ESP8266/ESP32.
Universal Remote works with Broadlink RM4 series (IR and 433 MHz RF), Tiqiaa Bluetooth IR dongles, ESP8266/ESP32-based DIY blasters, Global Caché iTach/Flex, Tuya and Smart Life IR hubs, USB-C and Lightning IR adapters, and audio-jack IR transmitters. The app connects to IR blasters over your local Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth — no cloud relay needed.
Yes. Universal Remote includes a full-featured AC remote with temperature, mode (cool, heat, dry, fan, auto), fan speed, and swing direction controls. It works with Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Haier, Gree, and thousands of other AC brands via IR blasters. HomeKit-compatible air conditioners (like Daikin and Sensibo) can also be controlled directly over Wi-Fi without an IR blaster.
You can control one device completely free with all features — no trial, no time limit. To add more devices, there is an optional premium subscription ($4.99/month or $24.99/year) or a one-time lifetime purchase ($39.99). All 14,000+ IR code sets and all features are available on every tier, including free.
Universal Remote supports more connection types than any other iPhone remote app: Wi-Fi smart TVs, Bluetooth IR dongles, six different Wi-Fi IR bridge protocols, USB and audio IR blasters, cloud AC APIs, and HomeKit — all in one app. It includes 14,000+ ready-made IR code sets that update automatically from the cloud, and you can learn IR codes from any physical remote using a Broadlink bridge. No account required, available in 39 languages.
Yes. Universal Remote integrates with App Intents, so you can trigger any remote button, run a scene, or control a specific device from Siri or the Shortcuts app. For example, you can say "Hey Siri, turn on the living room TV" or add remote actions to your Shortcuts automations.
Both. You can enter either an IP address (like 192.168.1.50) or a hostname (like myblaster.local) when setting up an IR blaster. DNS resolution happens automatically on your local network.
Yes. Universal Remote requires no account creation and stores all your remotes and settings locally on your device (synced via your private iCloud if enabled). The app collects only anonymous usage counters to improve the experience — no personal data, no third-party trackers, no ads. All commands are sent directly from your iPhone to your devices over your local network.
Free to try. One app for everything.
