Your Samsung remote, on your iPhone.

Lost your Samsung remote? LazyBinger turns your iPhone into a full remote for your Samsung TV running Tizen — auto-detected on your Wi-Fi, with zero setup.

Your Samsung remote, on your iPhone.

Everything your iPhone drives on your Samsung

  • Power, navigate and set the volume on your Samsung — from your bed.
  • Full D-pad, play/pause and a keyboard for typing into search.
  • Eleven one-tap apps: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube…
  • Premium: voice magic words (“sleepy time”) and camera intro auto-skip.

Which Samsung TVs work with it?

LazyBinger finds Samsung TVs running Tizen automatically on your Wi-Fi. It's used across Samsung's line-up, including:

  • Neo QLED
  • QLED
  • OLED
  • The Frame
  • Crystal UHD

No model number to look up — if your Samsung is on the same Wi-Fi, it usually just shows up.

Connect your Samsung in 30 seconds

Open LazyBinger: your Samsung shows up on Wi-Fi by itself. One tap and it's paired.

After that everything runs over your local network — no account, no cloud. Wake-on-LAN even powers your Samsung back on from across the room in the morning.

Samsung not showing up? Quick fixes

  • Put your iPhone and your Samsung on the same Wi-Fi network — not a separate guest or “IoT” network. That's the number-one reason a TV won't appear.
  • Wake the Samsung and leave it on its home screen while LazyBinger scans. A TV in deep standby can stay invisible until it's powered on once.
  • If your router has “AP isolation” / “client isolation” on, or splits 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, turn isolation off so your iPhone can reach the Samsung.
