TV Remote for LG
LazyBinger turns your iPhone into a universal remote for 12 TV platforms โ Samsung, LG, Roku, Sony, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, Hisense, Panasonic, Philips, VIZIO and Chromecast. TVs on the same Wi-Fi are detected automatically โ no IP address to type, no infrared needed.
But LazyBinger does things a plastic remote โ and most remote apps โ can't:
Private by design: everything runs locally over your own Wi-Fi. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking โ TV control stays on your network, and voice and camera are processed on the iPhone.
Free to use, with an optional Premium upgrade for the voice magic words and the camera auto-skip.

Lazy Binger's answer:
A native iOS app (Swift / SwiftUI). TV discovery uses Bonjour, SSDP and network scanning; control uses each platform's native protocol. On-device intelligence powers the rest: Apple's Vision OCR for the camera auto-skip, and Apple Speech plus an on-device Whisper model for voice. Everything runs locally โ there's no backend server in the control path.
Lazy Binger's answer:
LazyBinger started from pure laziness: losing the remote in the sheets and pressing "Skip Intro" every single episode. The idea was simple โ let the phone handle it. That grew into a camera that auto-skips intros, voice magic words you can mumble half-asleep, and a sleep timer that turns the TV off when you doze. It's the remote for horizontal people โ private, local and zero-friction.
Lazy Binger's answer:
People who watch a lot of TV in bed or on the couch and want it effortless: cord-cutters and streamers tired of hunting for the remote and mashing "Skip Intro", households juggling several TV brands, and privacy-conscious users who don't want a remote app full of ads and sign-ups. iPhone owners on any of 12 TV platforms.
Lazy Binger's answer:
Most remote apps stop at a basic D-pad, are ad-supported, and often need a cloud account. LazyBinger adds the things you actually feel every night โ auto-skipping intros, voice control, a sleep timer, and turning the TV back on โ while staying completely private: no account, no ads, no tracking, and all control on your local network. One app replaces the remote for 12 TV brands.
Lazy Binger's answer:
Three things no other iPhone remote app offers together: a camera "auto-pilot" that watches the TV and automatically skips intros and recaps for you (on a real TV, not just a browser), hands-free voice "magic words" that work with the screen locked, and Wake-on-LAN to turn the TV back on โ not just off. All across 12 TV platforms, 100% locally, with no account, no cloud and no ads.
