Free Apple TV remote for Android
Telik turns your Android phone into a remote for Apple TV, with the same touchpad and buttons as the remote on iPhone. It works over your home Wi-Fi, so your phone doesn’t need an IR blaster.
Coming soon to Google Play
For Apple TV 4K with the latest tvOS. Android 8.0 or later.
The whole remote, on your phone
The same layout and the same features as the remote on iPhone, made for Android.
Volume on your phone’s buttons
Press the volume buttons on the side of your phone to turn the TV up or down. The TV shows its own volume indicator.
Quick Settings and the lock screen
Add Telik to Quick Settings. Swipe down, tap Telik, and the remote opens, even while your phone is locked.
All the buttons
Play/Pause, Back and TV sit at the bottom, within reach of your thumb. While a video plays, skip 10 seconds back or forward and turn on subtitles, if the app on the TV allows it.
Mute
Turn the TV sound off with one tap and back on with another.
Power
Tap to open Control Center on the TV. Press and hold to turn the TV off.
Type with your phone’s keyboard
When a text field is selected on the TV, your phone’s keyboard opens. Type searches and names on the phone instead of picking letters one by one on the screen.
More than one TV
Tap the TV name at the top of the remote and pick another TV from the list.
No IR blaster needed
Telik works over your home Wi-Fi, so your phone doesn’t need an infrared port, and you don’t have to point it at the TV.

Questions and answers
Is Telik really free?
Yes. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no subscription, and you don’t need an account. Everything Telik does today stays free.
Does my phone need an IR blaster?
No. Telik controls Apple TV over your home Wi-Fi network, the same way the remote on iPhone does, so it works on phones without an infrared port.
Which Apple TV models does Telik work with?
Telik is tested with Apple TV 4K on the latest version of tvOS. Older models and older versions of tvOS have not been tested, so we can’t promise that they work.
How do I connect my phone to Apple TV?
Open Telik while your phone is on the same Wi-Fi as the TV, and pick the TV from the list. The TV shows a 4-digit code: type it in Telik right away, because the TV waits only about half a minute. If the code expires, get a new one and try again. You do this only once for each TV.
Why don’t the volume buttons or Mute work?
Telik changes the volume through your Apple TV, which passes it on to your TV or receiver over HDMI-CEC. Make sure HDMI-CEC is on and that your Apple TV controls the volume over it. If the volume can only be changed by infrared, the volume buttons and Mute in Telik won’t work.
Does Telik work when my phone is locked?
Yes. Add Telik to Quick Settings, then swipe down on the lock screen and tap Telik: the remote opens without unlocking the phone. Pairing a new TV or forgetting one works only on an unlocked phone.
What data does Telik collect?
None. Telik has no analytics, no ads and no sign-in, and it sends nothing to us. It talks only to your Apple TV on your home network, and the pairing keys are stored encrypted on your phone. The details are in the privacy policy.
Will Telik keep working after tvOS updates?
Telik talks to the TV over your local network, and Apple can change how that works in any tvOS update. If an update breaks a feature, we will try to fix it in a new version of Telik.
Is Telik made by Apple?
No. Telik is an independent app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc.
