TV remote in your menu bar
Only for Mac

Mac
Keep your TV controls one glance away with a floating remote, edge docking, device pairing, and customizable keyboard shortcuts.
SofaPilot Remote keeps a compact TV remote in your menu bar and floats a control strip at the edge of your screen, always a glance away.
Pair once with the four-digit code shown by your compatible streaming device, and SofaPilot Remote reconnects automatically from then on. Commands travel directly over your local network. No account or cloud service is needed.
THE FLOATING REMOTE
• A slim pill sits at the edge of your screen and pulls down into a full control strip when you hover or click.
• Drag it anywhere. Dock it to any screen edge — it snaps flush and opens away from the edge, flipping to a vertical layout on the sides.
• Pin it open while you browse, or let it tuck itself away.
• Adjustable opacity, and an option to hide it entirely and drive everything from the menu bar.
KEYBOARD CONTROL
• Every button — directions, select, back, Home, play/pause, volume — can have a keyboard shortcut.
• Shortcuts arm only when you want them: while the pointer is over the remote, or whenever the remote is pinned open. Your keys behave normally everywhere else.
• Record any key combination, right from Settings.
AT HOME IN THE MENU BAR
• Full remote, device picker, and pairing live in the menu bar dropdown.
• Launch at login and forget it's there until you need it.
COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K devices on the same local network. First-time setup asks for the four-digit code shown on the television.
