Lost the TV remote? Your phone is one.

It's in the couch. The dog has it. The batteries are dead. Your phone is already on the Wi‑Fi — it can drive the TV by itself, no computer needed.

The TV is remembered after that. No IR blaster, no account, no cloud: the phone talks to the TV over your Wi‑Fi, like the TV maker's own app.

Set it up

  1. Turn the TV on, and put the phone on the same Wi‑Fi.
  2. Open MouseOS → TV. It lists the TVs on the network.
  3. Pick yours and pair once (above). That's it.
