Why we expect it: A thorough, well-explained remote with clear value, honest wake-on-network notes, and broad TV support makes it a strong debut.

About

Signl turns your iPhone into a proper remote for your TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, Google TV and Android TV.

The full remote is free. Signl Pro adds the extras.

YOUR VOLUME BUTTONS CONTROL THE TV Open Signl and press your iPhone’s own volume buttons: the TV gets louder or quieter, not your phone.

A REMOTE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Play, pause, mute and volume from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, without unlocking. Plus Home Screen widgets and Control Center buttons.

SWITCH THE TV ON FROM YOUR PHONE Most remote apps stop working the moment the TV goes to sleep. Signl tests your television and learns how to wake it — then does it from the app, a widget, Control Center or your watch. Not every TV can be woken over the network; Signl tells you honestly whether yours can.

PLAY ON TV FROM ANY APP Watching something on your phone? Share → Play on TV and it opens on the big screen.

SCENES One tap for “Movie night”: TV on, HDMI 2, volume 20, Netflix. Build your own.

EVERY BUTTON YOUR REAL REMOTE HAS Input and HDMI 1–4, subtitles, audio track, channels, number pad, guide and more — one tap away, without cluttering the remote.

TYPE AND TALK On Google TV and Android TV, select a search box and your keyboard appears by itself; hold the mic to talk to your TV’s own voice search. Samsung, LG and Roku take typed text too.

ALSO • Apple Watch remote — the Digital Crown is the volume • Kids mode: a set volume and the app you chose, in one tap • Cast photos and videos to Google TV • App shortcuts with real logos, as many as you like • Touchpad or D-pad • Long-press the app icon for Power, Mute and Play/Pause • In English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, 日本語 and العربية

WORKS WITH Google TV and Android TV (Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Sharp, Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield and more), Samsung Tizen TVs (2016 and later), LG webOS TVs and Roku TVs and players. Your iPhone and TV need to be on the same Wi‑Fi. Voice search is available on Google TV and Android TV.

PRIVACY No account and no sign-up. What you watch, what you say to your TV and what you send to it stay between your phone and your television.
