What’s New Version 1.4.3
- Trakt integration – link your account in settings, then mark movies and episodes as watched or add them to your watchlist from the content details (tap again to undo)
Description
Itsytv is a remote control for Apple TV that shows you what's playing.
Connect to any Apple TV on your network and control it with a familiar touch interface. The circular d-pad supports taps, swipes, and directional input. All the buttons you need are right there – back, home, play/pause, volume, and a keyboard for search fields.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Built for both left-handed and right-handed use. Drag the remote to whichever side of the screen feels natural. You can also reposition it vertically to find the most comfortable spot for your grip.
NOW PLAYING WITH SEEK BAR
See what's on at a glance. The now playing bar shows artwork, title, and artist with transport controls for skip, play, and pause. Drag the seek bar to scrub to any point in the content directly from your phone – no need to hold down the d-pad like on the Siri Remote.
WHAT'S PLAYING
When you're watching something, Itsytv looks up the show or movie and displays the backdrop, plot summary, rating, genres, and cast – all without leaving the remote. Tap the info area to see the full detail view with cast photos and credits, then tap again to return to the remote.
APP LAUNCHER
Browse and launch apps installed on your Apple TV. Drag to rearrange them in your preferred order. After launching an app, Itsytv can automatically switch back to the remote tab so you're ready to navigate.
KEYBOARD INPUT
Type directly into search fields and text inputs on your Apple TV. When a hardware keyboard is connected, use arrow keys, return, escape, space, and volume shortcuts to control your Apple TV without touching the screen.
UNIVERSAL APP
Works on macOS (menu bar app) and iPhone/iPad.
