Full description

Helm is a fast, polished remote for your Apple TV. Swipe or tap to navigate, type with a real keyboard, control the volume, and see what's playing at a glance. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, FREE FOREVER • Swipe trackpad or classic D-pad, with select, menu, home, and the app switcher • Full keyboard for search boxes, passwords and logins. It pops up on its own the moment your TV asks for text • Play, pause, and skip 10 seconds either way • Volume, power and sleep, routed straight to your television through the Apple TV • Now Playing with title, artwork, and a scrubber you can drag to seek anywhere • Finds your Apple TVs automatically. You can also add one by IP and switch between TVs with one tap • No ads. No account. No ad tracking. SMART EXTRAS (free trial, then a one-time unlock or a cheap yearly plan) • App Launcher: jump straight into your installed streaming apps • Room Detection: open on the TV in whatever room you're in, using Bluetooth proximity • Now Playing capsule: floating playback info around your phone's camera cutout • Lock Screen Now Playing: artwork, a scrubber and 30 second skip on your lock screen, and your phone's volume buttons control the TV • Home-screen widget and Quick Settings tile, so the remote is one tap away • AirPlay audio routing: send the TV's sound to HomePods and other AirPlay speakers • Remote Finder: track down a lost Siri Remote by Bluetooth proximity BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Opens on whichever Apple TV is currently playing • Near-zero battery use when idle, because polling pauses when you're not looking • A clean interface that feels at home next to the device it controls HOW IT WORKS Helm talks directly to your Apple TV over your home Wi-Fi. There is no relay server in the middle, which also means your phone and Apple TV need to be on the same network. Pair once with the PIN your TV shows and you're in control. Pseudonymous usage and crash reporting goes to Google Firebase only if you opt in, and you can turn it off any time in Settings. COMPATIBILITY Works with Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K on recent tvOS. A few extras (like Remote Finder) depend on the Apple TV model. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple TV, Siri Remote, HomePod and AirPlay are trademarks of Apple Inc. Helm is an independent remote control app from SCOGs Applications.

What's new

• Lock Screen Now Playing: artwork, a scrubber and 30 second skip on the lock screen and in notifications. • Volume Keys: your phone's volume buttons control the Apple TV during playback. • Instant Controls: play, pause and scrubbing update the moment you let go. • Smoother Motion: the remote moves more naturally. • Offloaded Apps: Helm says when tvOS may have offloaded an app. • Fixes: fewer lost presses, accurate power status, large text that fits, and Helm+ turns on what you bought.
