Binge your show.
Never leave your bed.

One app for every TV in the house

Auto-detected on your Wi-Fi — zero setup.

Features

Built for horizontal marathons.

Everything you need to never hunt for the remote in the dark again.

Auto-discovery

Open the app and your TVs just show up on Wi-Fi. Samsung, LG, Roku, Sony, Apple TV, Fire TV, Google TV, Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, VIZIO, Chromecast — twelve platforms, zero setup.

Magic words

Say “sleepy time” and the TV goes dark. “Pause”, “play”… every word is customizable. Apple's engine listens in up to 3 languages at once, or go Whisper: open source, 100% on-device. You can even record your own trigger sound.

Camera auto-pilot

Prop your iPhone facing the TV: on-device OCR reads the screen and presses OK the moment “Skip intro” or “Next episode” pops up. You don't move a muscle.

Custom cues

Add the exact button labels to catch, in any language, then pick the action. Live similarity tuning shows you exactly when it will fire.

Sleep timer + night mode

“Turn off in 30 minutes”: start the timer with a tap or your voice, and the TV powers down while you drift off. At 2 a.m. the interface dims itself, and in the morning Wake-on-LAN wakes the TV from across the room.

The full remote

D-pad, volume, a keyboard for search fields, and eleven apps one tap away: Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Hulu, Paramount+, Spotify, Crunchyroll, Plex. Free, forever.

On your Apple Watch

The whole remote, on your wrist: D-pad, volume, play/pause, power and one-tap streaming apps. Turn the Digital Crown to switch pages or pick a TV. Your iPhone talks to the TV; you just tap. Free.

How it works

Three steps to absolute laziness.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Open LazyBinger: it scans your Wi-Fi and lists every TV in the house.

  2. 02

    Pair

    One tap, a code on the TV, done. Wake-on-LAN gets set up along the way.

  3. 03

    Binge

    Get comfortable. Voice, camera or thumb — you're not getting up again.

Live Activity

Run your TV without unlocking.

While the show plays, LazyBinger drops a real remote onto your lock screen. D-pad, OK, volume — it all responds without unlocking or reopening the app.

  • Interactive D-pad and OK, straight from the lock screen
  • No unlocking, no app to reopen
  • Shows it's listening for your magic words, live

  • D-pad, OK, volume, play/pause and power — turn the Digital Crown to flip pages
  • One-tap launches for Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and more
  • Switch which TV you're driving, or scan for a new one — all from the watch

FAQ

Frequently asked, lazily answered.

Which TVs are supported?

Twelve platforms: Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS), Roku, Sony Bravia, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV (TCL, Xiaomi, Nvidia Shield…), Hisense (VIDAA), Panasonic (Viera), Philips, VIZIO SmartCast and Chromecast. If your TV shares the Wi-Fi with your iPhone, odds are it will just show up.

Does it work with the iPhone locked?

Voice does: listening stays on even when the screen is locked. Mumble “sleepy time” at 2 a.m. and the TV obeys. Camera auto-pilot needs the app in the foreground — that's an iOS rule.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. TV discovery and control stay on your local network; speech recognition and OCR run on-device. No account, no cloud, no tracking.

Why does the camera need the app in the foreground?

iOS doesn't allow camera access in the background. The trick: prop the iPhone facing the TV — the app dims to night mode and presses OK for you. It keeps watch, you keep dozing.

Which languages does voice understand?

Apple's engine listens in up to 3 languages at the same time (bilingual households, rejoice). Whisper — open source, fully on-device — understands dozens. And you can record any sound or phrase as a trigger.

Can I use my Apple Watch as the remote?

Yes. LazyBinger puts a full remote on your wrist — D-pad, volume, play/pause, power and one-tap streaming apps, across all 12 platforms. The watch relays your taps to your iPhone, which controls the TV, so keep your phone nearby. It's free, like the rest of the remote.
