Open the right home
AV Companion checks the saved home helpers and selects the reachable home, while keeping every room tied to its actual equipment.
In development
Every home. Every room. One clear remote.
Choose what you want to do.
AV Companion turns complex home entertainment into an activity-first experience. It finds the right home, coordinates the room’s television, sound, source and lighting, then presents only the controls you need.
Effortless by design
The system disappears.
You should not need to remember inputs, audio routes or which remote turns on which device. AV Companion checks the configured home, keeps each room independent, and gives you one clear control surface.
Choose an activity
Watch Apple TV or DIRECTV, listen to Sonos, play a console, or start another configured source with one choice.
The room responds
The display, processor or speaker, source and room-light scene move together, and the controls adapt to the active activity.
Inside the actual app
Direct simulator captures advance automatically. Choose a screen to pause on it.
Built for the household
Fewer decisions. Far more control.
Every screen is specific to the active home, room and activity. The common path stays simple, while the real controls remain available when you need them.
Multi-home and multi-room
Use one app across configured homes and rooms. Each room keeps its own devices, activity state and command queue.
Coordinated activities
One choice powers and routes the television, receiver or speaker, source, and room-light scene. Room Off closes the sequence deliberately.
A real Apple TV remote
Swipe and tap on the full touch surface, navigate and play, launch apps, switch household profiles, and enter text when tvOS requests it.
Sonos Now Playing
See track, artist, album and available artwork, with play, pause, room volume and lighting together on the active screen.
DIRECTV without another remote
Use navigation, playback, guide, recordings and channel entry, with clear guidance when a configured Genie Mini is asleep.
Guided and resilient
Pair by one-time QR code, share configured rooms with family, run plain-language diagnostics, and recover without guessing when a device answers slowly.
Availability
AV Companion is in active development.
It is built for individually configured home systems, with a private Mac helper coordinating supported equipment on the local network. It is not presented as a universal remote for every device, and capabilities may evolve before release.
