# Remote by Hand

> Remote by Hand is a TV remote for Apple Watch and iPhone (and iPad). On the watch, leaning the wrist moves around the TV screen, and every key is also a button. It works with Android TV and Google TV and with LG webOS over the local network; Samsung (Tizen) and Roku are built in but not yet tested on real sets. Siri and Shortcuts commands, several TVs, and switching a TV on where the set allows it. No cloud, no account, no analytics. Made by 278labs. Not affiliated with Apple, Google, LG, Samsung or Roku.
