Sofa: TV Remote & Keyboard

All Things AI, Inc

About this app

The worst part of a smart TV is typing on it. Sofa fixes exactly that.

Sofa is a remote built around your phone's keyboard: open the Type sheet, write ""that show with the chess prodigy,"" and it lands straight in the TV's search box. No more spelling passwords one arrow-press at a time.

WHAT'S IN THE REMOTE
- A real keyboard for every TV text field — searches, emails, passwords
- Three input styles: classic D-pad, swipe trackpad, and a number pad with channel up/down
- Launch streaming apps in one tap — Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video and more
- On Roku, the full channel grid with real icons
- Volume, mute, power, playback, info and back
- Power on over Wi-Fi: save the TV's MAC address and the power button can wake a TV that's fully off
- Rooms: save every TV in the house and switch with a tap
- A connection log in Settings, so you can see exactly what's happening if a TV won't respond
- A built-in Demo TV so you can try every screen before you're home

WORKS WITH ROKU, SAMSUNG, LG & VIZIO
- Roku TVs and streaming players — no pairing needed
- Samsung Smart TVs (2016 and newer, plus 2014–15 models)
- LG webOS TVs
- Vizio SmartCast TVs
Samsung, LG and Vizio ask for a one-time approval on the TV screen the first time Sofa connects — then it just works, and reconnects automatically when the TV comes back on.

FREE, THAT'S IT
No subscription. No ads. No ""premium"" upsell. The remote apps charging $40 a year for a keyboard are the reason Sofa exists — Sofa is free and complete.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Sofa talks directly to your TV on your home network. Nothing goes to a server, nothing is tracked, no account exists.
