App Features

• Multitouch Precision Control: Navigate Apple TV menus with fluid gestures using the app’s touch interface, providing more accurate control than standard physical remotes. For instance, quickly pan across content cards or precisely select small icons with ease, significantly speeding up navigation compared to scrolling with a physical remote.
• Customizable Remote Layout: Tailor your remote interface within Remote for Apple TV with adjustable buttons, keyboard shortcuts, and favorite actions, including direct support for Apple TV’s Siri Remote functions. This personalization drastically improves daily usage efficiency by placing your most-used functions within immediate reach, eliminating unnecessary scrolling or menu diving.

• Screen Mirroring Assistance: Easily initiate screen mirroring or AirPlay casting from your iPhone/iPad to your Apple TV directly through the app interface, simplifying the process of streaming content. This makes using your mobile device as a presentation or media hub significantly faster and more intuitive, especially for conference rooms or collaborative viewing.
• Energy Saving Standby Mode: Set your Apple TV to automatically enter standby or low-power states after periods of inactivity detected by Remote for Apple TV, promoting energy efficiency without manual intervention. This helps users who tend to forget to power down their devices, contributing to both lower electricity bills and a reduced environmental footprint.
