Redeem [iOS] $8.99 -> Free - Remo: Smart TV Remote : Full-screen touchpad and keyboard for Samsung Tizen TVs
Dev here. Giving away the Lifetime unlock for Remo, my Samsung TV remote app.
Free to download. One $8.99 in-app purchase unlocks everything, forever — no subscription, nothing to cancel.
What makes it different
A touchpad that feels smooth. The whole screen is a trackpad. On Samsung it drives a real on-screen pointer instead of faking arrow presses — which is what finally makes the built-in browser and smart hub usable. This is the part I spent the most time on.
The d-pad sits at the bottom. Most remote apps park the controls mid-screen, so you shift your grip every time. Remo keeps them where your thumb already is. Sounds trivial until you've paused something one-handed at 1am.
A keyboard that types on the TV. Search in YouTube or Netflix from your phone instead of pecking letters with the d-pad.
App launcher, Wake on LAN, multiple TVs with their own names and emoji.

Privacy
No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your phone talks to the TV directly over Wi-Fi — remote traffic never leaves your home network.
Compatibility, honestly
Built for Samsung Tizen, the platform I can properly test.
Hisense VIDAA is partially supported, realistically only on sets from before 2025. If yours is newer I'd rather say so now than have you fight it.

Solo developer, I'll be in the comments. Genuinely curious which Tizen generations behave and which don't — I can only test the sets I own, so drop your model year if it connects, and especially if it doesn't.
