About LG Power - webOS TV Remote
LG Power turns your Android phone into a fast, clean remote for LG webOS TVs. No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything runs on your home network, so it stays quick and private.
Built by someone who kept losing the Magic Remote down the side of the couch.
WHAT IT DOES
- Power: turns the TV off over Wi-Fi and back on with Wake-on-LAN (the TV needs network standby enabled). If your phone has an IR blaster, a long press sends the IR power code instead, so power still works when the TV has dropped off the network
- Screen Off: switches the panel off while the TV keeps playing. Great for music and podcasts on an OLED
- D-pad with hold-to-repeat, plus OK, Home, Back and Menu. Long-press Back for Exit
- Volume and brightness: tap them as buttons or drag them like sliders, with haptic ticks. Your phone's volume keys work too
- Swap the brightness pill for channel up/down if you watch live TV
- Numpad with channel up/down, List and dash, plus Guide, Info, Exit and CC
- Colour buttons (red, green, yellow, blue) in a row that stays open until you tap outside it, so repeated presses are easy
- Touchpad: drag anywhere for the cursor, or hold to lock it full-screen with tap-to-click and two-finger scroll
- Keyboard: type straight into TV search fields with your phone keyboard
- Pickers for input source, picture mode and sound mode
- App shortcuts: up to four buttons for the apps installed on your TV
- Home screen widgets for Power, Screen Off, OK and app shortcuts
- Themes: Dark, Light, Nord, Dracula, Monokai, Catppuccin, Solarized Light and One Light, plus an editor to make your own
WORKS WITH THE NEWEST FIRMWARE
Pairing works on webOS 25 and 26, the software on the 2025 and 2026 TVs and on older sets that LG has updated to it.
FOR THE TINKERERS
An IR service remote under Settings > Advanced opens the factory menus (IN-START, EZ-ADJUST) from the phone's IR blaster. It is behind a warning for a reason: wrong values can ruin the picture and IN-STOP factory resets the TV on the spot.
REQUIREMENTS
- An LG webOS TV on the same local network as your phone (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)
- Android 8.0 or newer
- A phone with an IR blaster for the IR power fallback, the Power and OK home screen widgets, and the service remote. Everything else works without one
- On first launch, pick your TV from the list and accept the pairing prompt on the TV screen. Pairing is remembered after that
PRIVACY
LG Power collects no data and has no servers. Your TV's address, MAC and pairing key, your shortcuts and your theme are stored only on your phone. The app is open source (AGPL-3.0) at github.com/Nicsilver/LGPower

User reviews
worked amazingly to open secret menus I couldn't access with my normal LG C5 remote
After trying several remote-control apps, I finally found the one that feels genuinely perfect! 🙌 A huge appreciation to the developer who designed this app so beautifully. The interface is simple, smooth, and most importantly, it actually feels like using a real remote. 📱➡️📺 The happiest part is that there are n...
This is 100x better then the official LG app. Please make a Samsung one if possible.
This app does everything I have needed so far to control a 2025 C5 TV. Way better experience than the cheap android style remote LG includes. Loss of tactile controls, but "backlit" and everything where I need/want it to be. Nice job.
GREAT app, much better than LG ThinQ.
Way better than the LG app.
