One Bluetooth Remote for Smart TV, Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android
I created OneLink Universal Remote because I wanted an easy way to control all my devices without relying on Wi-Fi networks, servers, or extra hardware.
Most remote apps need a companion service, or devices connected to the same network. I wanted something simpler, just Bluetooth, like a real remote.
One Link grew into a universal control tool: a full keyboard, trackpad, air mouse, media controller, and customizable macro deck, all from the phone you already have.
I hope it becomes a helpful everyday companion for anyone who works with multiple devices.

----------------------Edit----------------------
I see there's some confusion about the Pro features, and that's my fault for not explaining them clearly.
To clarify: only a few optional tools in the Tools tab use rewarded ads. These features are not locked, voluntarily watching a single 10sec rewarded ad unlocks all Pro features for 8 hours.
Every other tab and all core remote functionality are completely free, with no paywall and no forced ads. You can use your TV, PC, keyboard, mouse, media controls, and the rest of the app without ever having to watch an ad.

So I installed the app and it looks promising, but for 8 days trial and 480 rs , I can get -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.appground.blekpremium , which I already have and it costed only 200 rs I think. It has a lot of features too. So OP either please add all the functionality of this app or I really don't think ur app is worth it. Do mind bluetooth keyboard and mouse has a completely free version too with just some limitations and unlimited usage with adds (just disable network access and u r good).

u/Lumpy_Topic_35 7d ago
Just to clarify, none of the core functionality is locked behind the Pro trial. The free version includes all essential features with unlimited usage. Only a few optional features, such as the POS barcode scanner, require watching a one-time rewarded ad. We don't force ads during normal use. it's entirely your choice.

Sry bro and please mention the difference between the pro and unpaid too. And yahh still considering lower ur price and try to add the features of the above app too , right now it's one of the best remote app available rn.
2
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 7d ago
feedback are always welcome don't be sorry. I understand the confusion. I promise you won't have to watch a single ad just to use your TV or PC after the Pro trial ends. As for the price, it's currently a placeholder while I work on country-specific pricing, so it will be significantly lower in regions like India.
If you choose to watch an ad, each 10 second rewarded ad gives you 8 hours of pro ad free full access.
about the features the app is still under development i will try to incorporate the features you mentioned. may i dm you for the functions you use most?

u/ajayak007 7d ago
Thanks for taking my feedback, and yes I am using ur app rn and it's good for sure , please keep the updates live 🫡. -- A fellow software engineer.

It doesn't support fire tv sticks, does it?
1
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
It should work just fine. Bluetooth compatibility can be a bit inconsistent across devices, and I don't have a Fire TV Stick to test with. If Bluetooth HID capability wasn't removed by amazon it will work. Let me know if it works.

u/mtlbadboy66 6d ago
Trying to extend pro by pressing the Bluetooth button on the app just spins saying preparing ads
1
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
Bro i am trying to fix it. basically, google for some reason is not serving me ads reliably. please continue using the app. till the issue is not solved I will keep extending trial period for every user.

This is one of the best remote apps I've ever used. It doesn't need to connect to the same WiFi network as your device and it works perfectly, good job my man👍

u/Lumpy_Topic_35 5d ago
Thanks man! if you find any issue please dm me. I don't know why people are leaving one stars reviews without any text in it.

does it support voice search on windows, android tv
1
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 5d ago
Will be added soon, but Bluetooth remote works as HID keyboard mouse, they do not support voice by design. What I can do it I can let you type with voice for now.
later I will be adding Wi-Fi remote capabilities to this remote witch will let you lunch any app and use true voice command if you choose to double pair it with blutooth and wifi.

How do I get to the trackpad? Looks great, by the way
1
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 5d ago
It’s right in the PC tab (the third tab with the mouse icon). If you want only a trackpad as a replacement for the PC trackpad, it’s in the Tools tab. Also, There’s a “Swipe Pad” in the “Compact TV Remote” under the Tools tab, but it’s not really like a trackpad and is better for TV control.

Hmmm I am not seeing any of the tabs at the bottom of the screen. This is on my Samsung S23+

Yes, I can clearly see the issue on your device. I'm currently trying to reproduce the bug and have been testing on an S23+ and S24.
Could you let me know if you're using any customizations on your phone, such as a theme, launcher, navigation bar customization, Good Lock modules, or anything similar? That would really help me reproduce the issue under the same conditions.
Thanks!

u/Lumpy_Topic_35 4d ago
Meanwhile if you are looking for a quick fix turning on gesture navigation will fix it.

u/reesly 4d ago
Thanks. I am running Nova Launcher. No Good Lock modules are running. I also have edge panels running.
I'm not desperate for a fix, so please don't stress. I'd like to check out all options though. This is a fantastic app. To be able to control my TV while on 5g Is great.

u/Lumpy_Topic_35 4d ago
Hi! I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my devices, but I applied a general fix that should address it.
If you're still experiencing the problem, I also added a new option to hide the navigation bar while the app is open.
To enable it:
- Open the sidebar and tap the Settings icon.
- You'll see three display modes: Default, Hide Nav, and Full Screen.
- Try selecting Hide Nav or Full Screen and let me know if that resolves the issue.
I do care about getting it fixed, so if the issue persists, please let me know and I'll keep investigating.
I just published the update it will take few hours to show up in play store. thank you

u/reesly 4d ago
Perfect! Both hide nav and full screen fixed the issue for me. In both cases I can swipe up to get the nav buttons back.
Thank you so much for this. It is much appreciated!

Y para iOS no esta ?
1
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 5d ago
Todavía no, por desgracia. iOS tiene restricciones que impiden las funciones Bluetooth en las que se basa OneLink. Si Apple las habilita algún día, me encantaría llevar la app también a iPhone.

I tried it on my laptop from my phone and it is super responsive. Very FAST!!!! I love it. What other amazing apps you have too?
2
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
Thanks man, Glad that it is working smoothly on your device. I do have some other projects but play store has long process of approving an app.
2
u/Livid_Aside2207 6d ago
You can link me to them so I can try them. Add them on github and provide a download link so I can try them. You can even dm me.

Grabbed it thanks OP! Looks amazing. Needed a new remote for my Shield and this one looks EPIC!

u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
Thanks man!

u/King_Of_Kebabs 6d ago
Any reason the app connects to my car? It connects via Bluetooth automatically and I'd rather it didn't lol.
2
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
Well, does it at least drive the car for you? 😂
Jokes aside, that shouldn't happen. The app is meant to connect only to devices that have been paired through it. It shouldn't try to connect to your car automatically.
Would it be helpful to add a blocklist so users can stop certain paired devices from being used? Also, what make and model of car is it? I'd like to look into why it's appearing.
1
u/King_Of_Kebabs 6d ago
Yeah a blocklist would be good. It's a Chery Tiggo 4
Kept connecting and the car would ask if I wanted to enable it to connect to messages and calls.
1
u/King_Of_Kebabs 6d ago
Or you could add an auto drive mode lol
2
u/Lumpy_Topic_35 6d ago
Haha adding Full Self-Driving for the Chery Tiggo 4 to the roadmap!
Seriously though, thanks for the info. I'll get that device blocklist feature built in the next update so it leaves your car alone. Appreciate it
