TVRemoteX

Hi X 👋 I’m an indie iOS developer building TVRemoteX — a universal TV remote. Currently supports:  Apple TV Samsung LG Sony Hisense Roku Chromecast Fire TV Android TV / TV boxes (ADB) I’m looking for TestFlight beta testers. #buildinpublic #iosdev #TestFlight

Based on research compiled by @darshal_

Some TVs save data offline and upload it the moment you reconnect, so both steps are necessary.

Your smart TV is likely taking screenshots of everything you watch—even from your laptop or game console via HDMI. Research shows Samsung TVs do this every minute, LG every 15 seconds, all through a hidden feature called Automatic Content Recognition (ACR).

we made TVRemoteX so your phone is the remote. just point. no pairing rage. no remote treasure hunt. 🧪 testflight is live — very limited spots because, well, testflight.

@IDontReload Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider it.

@beesongff Please make a separate for each platform

@LessonsFromProd Thanks for sharing, this is spot on.

Supporting that many platforms is legit hard. The tricky part comes when you realize each one has different edge cases and quirks. TestFlight feedback will probably surface stuff you didn't expect on real devices. Worth being selective about who tests — you want people who'll actually use it, not just install and forget.

@WorkElizab Honestly? “The thing nobody can ever find.” 😄
