Itsytv: Remote for Apple TV

Itsytv controls a compatible Apple TV from an iPhone or iPad, combining touch navigation with playback information.

Our take

Choose for a phone remote with richer viewing context.

A movable control layout, keyboard input and an app launcher make navigation more flexible than a fixed directional pad.

Keep in mind: Requires Apple TV fourth generation or later, the same Wi-Fi network and initial PIN pairing.

What you can do

  • Navigate with a circular touch pad
  • Scrub playback with a seek bar
  • Type into supported text fields
  • Launch and reorder Apple TV apps
  • Switch between paired televisions

Good for

  • Households wanting a customizable Apple TV remote

Consider alternatives for

  • Users seeking control of unrelated smart-TV platforms

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • Requires Apple TV fourth generation or later, the same Wi-Fi network and initial PIN pairing.

Privacy & permissions

Pairing grants control of a television and reveals viewing information; pair only devices you are authorized to manage.
