Your Hisense
Remote, Now on
Your iPhone.
Free remote app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Pairs in 30 seconds over Wi-Fi. Works with every Hisense smart TV released since 2018 — VIDAA, Roku TV, Google TV, and Fire TV.
Everything the official remote should have been.
We built HiRemote because the official Hisense remote left us frustrated. No more hunting for lost remotes. No more dealing with worn-out batteries mid-movie. No more typing passwords on the TV's on-screen keyboard.
Pairs in 30 seconds
Same Wi-Fi as your TV, tap your TV's name, enter the 4-digit code on screen. Done. No account, no email, no signup.
Real keyboard for streaming sign-ins
Type your Netflix or Disney+ password using your phone keyboard instead of pecking at the on-screen one letter by letter.
Apple Watch + Lock Screen widget
Power off your TV from your wrist. Add a Lock Screen widget for instant volume — both included with Pro.
Private by design
All commands run on your local Wi-Fi. We have no servers. We literally cannot see what you watch, even if we wanted to.
Works With Every Hisense Smart TV (2018+)

Everything the original remote does.
Plus a few things it doesn't.
The app never sees what you watch.
Most "remote" apps are ad-loaded shells that send your viewing data to a third-party server. We don't. By design — there's no server for them to phone home to.
- All commands run on your local Wi-Fi between phone and TV.
- No account, email, or phone number required.
- Zero viewing data collected — your TV doesn't tell us, and we don't ask.
- No third-party trackers. No analytics phoning home from inside the app.
What users say
I bought it because I lost the original. Now I prefer the app — typing in passwords is so much faster.
Used the on-screen keyboard for two years. One evening I downloaded this and never went back to the physical remote.
I run a small Airbnb and guests kept losing the remote. Now I leave a card with a QR code to the app. Problem solved.
