Smart Remote for Apple TV

Keep your Apple TV remote close on your Android phone. Connect to the same local Wi-Fi network, find a compatible Apple TV and pair using the four-digit code displayed on your television. No receiver app needs to be installed on the Apple TV.

Use directional buttons, Select, Home, Back/Menu and Play/Pause. Navigate with the touchpad, send a sleep command, and adjust volume or channels where supported by your Apple TV setup and the active TV app. Local discovery uses the Companion service; manual IP entry is also available. Remember the last successfully connected device, change your interface language or remove a pairing from Settings.

The current version has no advertising, app account or in-app purchases. The interface supports 20 languages. Pairing private keys are encrypted with Android Keystore and excluded from backups; remote commands travel directly to the selected Apple TV over an authenticated encrypted connection. GBapps does not receive your commands or pairing credentials.

Requires Android 7 or later and a compatible Apple TV exposing the Companion service on the same reachable local network. Compatibility and available controls depend on the Apple TV model, tvOS version, network and TV/audio configuration. Volume control may depend on HDMI-CEC or the connected audio device. The app does not provide phone-keyboard text entry, Siri/voice control, casting, screen mirroring or guaranteed wake-up.
