QUICK ACTIONS TILENEW

Volume & Power Without Opening the App

Add the TV Remote tile next to your watch faces and a six-button mini remote is one swipe away — Volume, Mute, Power, Home, and Play/Pause by default, with the live connection status right on the tile. Swiping to it pre-warms the link to your TV, so your first tap already lands.

Wear OS Quick Actions tile for an Android TV — Volume Down, Volume Up, Mute, Power, Home and Play/Pause buttons with a Connected status and the name of the TVRemap screen for the Quick Actions tile on the watch — the same 2×3 grid of six slots, each one tappable to change its action
  • One Swipe From the Watch Face

    No app launch, no waiting: the tile renders instantly with six buttons and the name of your active TV, then connects in the background while you aim your thumb. Tap before the link is up and the action is queued and fired the moment the TV answers.

  • Six Remappable Slots

    Every tile button is yours to change. Swap Mute for Netflix, Home for the input picker, or Play/Pause for a fast switch to the bedroom TV — from the same Remap screen as the rest of the remote.

  • Dressed Like Your Watch Face

    On Wear OS 6 the tile picks up your watch face colors, just like the system tiles do. Older watches get the app’s own cyan-and-amber palette, with Power always in red so you never hit it by accident.

CUSTOMIZATION

Remap Every Button

Assign any action to any button — on the Navigation screen, the Media screen, and all six slots of the Quick Actions tile. Set independent short-press and long-press actions. Pick from 29 TV commands across Navigation, Media, Volume, Channels, Inputs, and system controls like Power, TV Guide, Captions, and Voice Assistant — or launch an app, or jump to another TV.

Pro feature

APP LAUNCHER

Your Streaming Apps, One Tap Away

Map any button to launch an app on your TV. Choose from a built-in catalog of 16 popular apps — YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV, Spotify, Plex, Twitch, Kodi, Jellyfin and more — or add any app by its package name. Netflix is already loading before you have found the physical remote.

MULTI-DEVICE

Every TV in the House. One Watch.

Pair every Android TV in your home, keep them in one list on your wrist, and jump between rooms with a tap — or a single button. Each TV is paired once and remembered, so switching is always instant.

    Add as many Android TVs as you like — living room, bedroom, office. They all live in one Devices list on your wrist, a single tap apart.

  • Switch Instantly, No Re-Pairing

    Tap any saved TV to connect right away. The app remembers each one and auto-reconnects to your last TV on launch — even if your router hands it a new IP.

  • One-Button Fast Switch

    Map any button — or a tile slot — to Fast Switch and bounce between your two main TVs in a single press, without ever leaving the remote.

ALWAYS READY

Always-On Display

Your remote stays visible even when the watch screen dims. The always-on mode shows an analog clock with a connection status dot — green when connected, red when offline — and shifts position every minute to prevent burn-in. Prefer a cleaner look? Turn the clock off in the menu and the dimmed screen shows the center button’s action instead.

THE DETAILS

Small Things, Done Right

A remote lives on your wrist all day, so the little things matter — how it buzzes, what language it speaks, whether it shows the time.

Vibration settings on the watch — an arc slider set to 50%, labelled Medium

Haptics You Can Dial In

One 0–100 arc instead of three presets. Every tap, bezel tick and long press scales with it, tuned to the motor in your watch — Galaxy, Pixel or OnePlus.

Language picker on the watch with System default, English selected, Bahasa Indonesia and Dansk

Speaks Your Language

29 languages, switchable right inside the app. Follows your watch’s locale by default — and the Quick Actions tile follows along.

Watch menu with a Show time toggle switched on, a Pro Unlocked row and About

Time, When You Want It

A time pill under the D-pad and an analog face in always-on mode. Prefer a cleaner remote? One toggle hides both.
