VelaTV Remote for Android TV

VelaTV Remote turns your phone into a fully functional remote control for any Android TV or Google TV, completely free and without ads, tracking, or accounts.

Designed for one-handed use, dark mode by default, and 30 seconds from install to first pairing.

Highlights
• Auto-discovery: finds every Android TV on your Wi-Fi network.
• Secure pairing: the TV shows a 6-digit code once. After that, phone and TV trust each other forever.
• Send files to your TV: pick photos, videos, or any file on your phone and send them straight to the TV over Wi-Fi. No cables, no third-party app, pick several files at once.
• Adaptive D-pad: classic four-arrow ring with long-press support, plus a swipe-to-navigate trackpad for content browsing.
• Quick app launcher: one-tap shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Spotify, Apple TV, Twitch, Plex, Kodi, VLC, and Zoom.
• Smart keyboard: type once on the phone and the text appears on the TV, no fighting the on-screen keyboard.
• Voice search: on-device speech recognition (your voice never leaves the phone).
• Volume HUD: see the TV's current volume on the phone in real time. Phone volume keys can drive the TV directly.
• Now Playing: shows the foreground app on the TV at a glance.
• Multi-TV support: pair with as many TVs as you like. Tap the TV name at the top to switch between them or add a new one, all in one tap.
• Auto-reconnect: the app remembers the last active TV and reconnects when you reopen.
• One-hand mode: pull the controls down toward your thumb.
• Custom haptics: gentle, ergonomic feedback.

Compatibility
• Any TV running Android TV or Google TV 7.0+ on the same Wi-Fi network.
• Works with Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Xiaomi, Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and more.
• Phone: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up.

Privacy
VelaTV Remote is 100% offline. No analytics, no telemetry, no ads, no accounts. All communication is end-to-end TLS-encrypted, directly between the phone and the TV on your local network. File transfers go straight from phone to TV over your own Wi-Fi and are never uploaded anywhere. Voice search uses Android's on-device speech recognizer; audio never leaves your phone.
