Zapster turns your phone into the remote for the TV you already own. It finds the TV on your Wi-Fi, speaks that brand's own control protocol, and sends every button press straight to the set — no account, no cloud service, no pairing dongle.
WORKS WITH THE TVs YOU HAVE
• Roku and Roku TVs (TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Philips and the rest)
• Samsung smart TVs, 2016 and newer
• LG webOS TVs
• Vizio SmartCast TVs
• Anything that answers Wake-on-LAN gets a power-on button too
FINDS YOUR TV BY ITSELF
Zapster scans the network with SSDP and mDNS the moment you open it, so your TV is usually on screen before you finish reading this sentence. If the network blocks discovery, type the IP address once and the TV is saved for good. Several TVs? Save them all and switch with one tap.
A REMOTE THAT FEELS RIGHT
• A full D-pad, with volume, channel, playback, input and power exactly where your thumb expects them
• A touchpad mode: swipe to move, tap to select, the way the TV's own remote wishes it worked
• A keyboard so you can type into search boxes without hunting letters on a grid
• App shortcuts that launch Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ or Prime Video straight from your phone
• Haptic feedback on every press, and a screen that stays awake while you are using it
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
• A home-screen widget with power, volume and your favourite app buttons — it talks to the TV directly, without opening the app
• A Quick Settings tile that mutes the TV from the notification shade
PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
Everything happens on your local Wi-Fi. Zapster has no backend, no account, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing about what you watch, or that you watch anything at all, leaves your home network. Pairing tokens stay on the phone.
Available in 14 languages.
FREE VS PREMIUM
Free gives you full discovery, every remote layout and 30 key presses a day.
Premium removes the daily limit and unlocks unlimited presses, the home-screen widget, the Quick Settings tile and app shortcuts.
Premium is available as a weekly subscription with a 3-day free trial, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled any time in your Google Play subscriptions. The lifetime unlock is a single payment with no renewal.
WHAT ZAPSTER IS NOT
It controls TVs over Wi-Fi. It is not an infrared remote and does not use your phone's IR blaster, so a TV that is not on your network cannot be controlled. Older TVs without network control are not supported.
