In short

FMote: Remote for Fire TV is an iPhone app that works as a remote for Fire TV devices on the same Wi-Fi network, pairing with a 4-digit code and requiring no account. It is aimed at people who want to control one or more TVs from their phone or Apple Watch. It stands out for its keyboard input, which shows typed text on the TV as you type.

About

Lost the remote again? Your iPhone is already in your hand.

FMote turns it into a fast, friendly remote for your Fire TV. Open the app, pick your TV, type the 4-digit code it shows, and you're watching. No digging under the cushions, no dead batteries, no account.

Control your TV in seconds. No sign-in. Pairs easily with a PIN code.

SET UP BEFORE THE POPCORN IS READY • FMote finds your TV on your Wi-Fi by itself, or you can connect by IP address • Type the code your TV shows. You only do this once • No developer mode, no settings to dig through, nothing to install on the TV

A REMOTE THAT FEELS RIGHT • A big, glowing D-pad, or a swipe pad if you prefer: swipe to move, tap for OK, swipe and hold to glide through long rows • Home, Back, Menu, play/pause, and rewind and fast-forward with the skip length you choose • Volume and mute on TVs that support HDMI-CEC • Night keys dim the remote when your screen is dim

TALK, TYPE OR TAP • Voice: tap Voice and say a show, an app or a song • Keyboard: type searches and passwords with your iPhone's keyboard; the text appears on the TV as you type • Apps: all your TV's apps in one list. Pin favorites and the first four sit right on your remote

EVERY TV IN THE HOUSE • Save several TVs, name them ("Bedroom", "Kids' room"), star favorites and choose a default • FMote reconnects quietly and wakes a sleeping TV when you press a key • Handy extras: open the TV's settings, put it to sleep, or make a lost remote play a sound (on remotes that support it)

BEYOND YOUR PHONE • Apple Watch: D-pad, playback and Home on your wrist. Turn the Digital Crown for volume, and dictate or scribble text. Commands travel through your iPhone. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: play/pause, Home and more without opening the app • Control Center and the Action button (iOS 18): TV Play/Pause, TV Home, TV Mute and Open Remote • Siri and Shortcuts: "Pause the TV with FMote", or open one of your TV's apps Widgets, controls, the Watch app and Shortcuts work once a TV is paired in the iPhone app.

FMote speaks English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Nederlands, Português, 日本語 and हिन्दी.

GOOD TO KNOW • Your iPhone and your TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. • FMote asks for Local Network access to find your TV, and for the microphone only when you use Voice. Your voice goes only to your TV while you speak; FMote doesn't record or store it. • No account. Anonymous usage statistics and crash reports help us improve FMote; turn them off anytime in Settings.
