HOME SCREEN WIDGET
Control your TV without even opening the app. The resizable home screen widget gives you instant access to volume, play/pause, power, and navigation. Resize it larger for a full d-pad and custom button panes. Commands fire directly from your home screen.

CUSTOM BUTTONS AND MACROS
Build your own buttons. Choose from 20+ remote commands or create app launch shortcuts for Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, Spotify, Plex, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, and dozens more. Chain multiple commands into macros with configurable timing for one-tap automation.

VOICE SEARCH
Tap the mic to speak and search on your Android TV or Google TV. Demote streams your voice directly to your TV for fast, accurate results.

HANDS-FREE MODE
Activate TalkLazy and say "Television" from across the room to trigger a voice command on your TV, without touching your phone. Auto-timeout after 5 minutes preserves battery.

QUICK SETTINGS TILE
Add Demote to your notification shade for one-tap access to your remote.

STAYS CONNECTED
Demote keeps your connection alive in the background so your remote is always ready. Smart reconnect picks up where you left off, even after your phone sleeps.

What’s new

• The playback timeline is much more reliable — it now shows the current time and total length, keeps its place when you switch apps and come back, and scrubbing lands right where you drop it.
• The home-screen widget now resizes: compact for volume + power, standard for all your buttons and custom panes, or full-size with a d-pad for on-screen navigation.
• Fixes and polish throughout.
