Setup

Three steps.
Then just watch.

No account to create and no cables. Your iPhone and your TV only need the same Wi-Fi.

  1. 1

    Find

    Nexa looks for compatible TVs on your Wi-Fi. If yours doesn’t appear, add it by its IP address.

  2. 2

    Pair

    Enter the code your TV shows. Nexa creates its own pairing key and keeps it in your device’s Keychain.

  3. 3

    Control

    Your remote is ready. Next time, Nexa reconnects by itself, so you can go straight to watching.

The remote

Every button, right where your thumb expects it.

A clean D-pad, volume and channels, playback and power, laid out for one-handed use with crisp haptic feedback.

  • Navigate and select
  • Volume
  • Mute
  • Channels
  • Number keys
  • Play and pause
  • Home and back
  • Power

Nexa shows the controls its connection to your TV supports. Some TVs and apps may ignore certain keys.

Thoughtful details

Small touches.
Big difference.

Type with your iPhone keyboard.

Search for shows and fill in text fields on the TV with the keyboard you already know, instead of picking letters one by one.

On and off, from your phone.

Turn your TV off from Nexa. On TVs that stay reachable in network standby, you can turn it back on too.

Every room.

Give each TV its own name and room, and switch between them with a tap.

Always ready.

Nexa remembers your TVs, and finds a TV it discovered on your Wi-Fi again, even at a new address.

Encrypted.

Commands travel over an encrypted connection that’s tied to the exact TV you paired.

Made for everyone.

Clear VoiceOver labels, support for larger text sizes with Dynamic Type, and calmer animation when Reduce Motion is on.

Across your Apple devices

One remote.
Wherever you are.

Nexa feels at home on every Apple device you reach for. Apple Watch uses the TVs you pair on your iPhone.

iPad

A layout made for the bigger screen, with your TVs and the remote side by side. Pair your TVs once on iPad.

Apple Watch

Mute, change the volume, and play or pause from your wrist. Commands go through your iPhone.

Siri and Shortcuts

Say “Mute the TV in Nexa”, or build Shortcuts. With more than one TV, Siri asks which one.

Lock Screen

While you watch, open the remote or turn the TV off (after unlocking) from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island.

Privacy

What happens at home
stays at home.

Nexa talks to your TV directly over your Wi-Fi. No cloud service sits in between, and nothing about you or what you watch is collected.

No account

Open the app and pair. There’s nothing to sign up for.

No tracking or ads

No analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers.

Stays on your network

Commands go from your device to your TV, and nowhere else.

Keys in your Keychain

Pairing keys stay in your device’s Keychain and never leave it.
