2.0.1
Build 12 April 2026
Photo to Remote.
Snap a picture. The remote builds itself.
- Photo → Remote, in seconds.Beta The app already turns any photo into a remote. Now we're rolling out the next step — auto-detect the buttons, auto-run the Smart IR Wizard, auto-program the codes. Take a picture of an old remote. Get a working one back. Online Remote Builder is first.
- Active Device routing now reaches every canvas. Whatever you set as Active — USB, BroadLink, onboard phone IR, iTach over WiFi — works the same way from the desktop, from inside any folder, from inside any remote. Switch mid-session. No app restart. Every canvas honors the change.
- Sub-second response from any browser, anywhere in the world. Tap on a phone in the airport, IR fires in your living room. Web Viewer, transparency, and overlay all render at the layout you designed.
- Touch passthrough done right. Tap a button on the overlay → IR fires. Tap empty space → that tap goes through to whatever's underneath. Netflix keeps scrolling.
- Five USB-C IR chipset families now plug-and-play. Tiqiaa, ElkSmart, HID, CP210x, CH341. Plus the Ocrustar, ZaZaRemote, and the rest of those tiny dongles. Plug it in. Allow. Fire.
- Manual Add for any dongle we haven't seen yet. Brand-new model from a brand-new factory? Type its VID/PID, pick the chipset, save. Transmitting in seconds.

Version History
Every build, in order. Buy once — get every one of these for free.
One Layout. Every Screen.
Build it on a 7-inch tablet. Open it on a 95-inch TV. Same buttons in the same places.
- Portrait and landscape — both first-class. Flip your tablet sideways and the buttons stay where you put them. No reflow, no shuffle, no "oh that broke the layout."
- The remote you build is the remote everyone sees. Genuinely locked to the canvas you designed. Phone, tablet, or browser. Every time.
- RF learning got smarter on the first try. 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz — finds the right band without you guessing.
- 250,000 new IR and RF codes added. Ceiling fans, RF outlets, blinds, motorized projector screens, garage doors, gates — the obscure stuff databases curated from spec sheets keep missing.
Every Browser. Every Camera. Every Canvas.
Wait — my browser is the remote? And my baby cam is the wallpaper?
- Every web browser is now a remote control. Open the Web Viewer on anything that renders HTML. Fire IR.
- Live video and stream wallpapers — across all three canvases. Desktop, folder, remote — set a different live feed on each. Kitchen tablet shows the front porch. Bedroom shows the baby cam. Garage shows the driveway. They all also fire IR.
- Web Viewer button timeout, reworked. Buttons fade — wallpaper stays visible and interactive.
- Overlay timeout stays active while you scroll a webpage wallpaper. Doesn't drop you out.
- Active Device card at the top of Device Setup. Big, clear, identical for USB, BroadLink, phone IR, or iTach.
One Remote. Every Blaster.
The bedroom TV fires upstairs. The living room fires downstairs. Same remote.
- Multi-transmitter support. Different buttons fire through different blasters. Bedroom TV through the upstairs BroadLink, living room TV through a USB blaster downstairs — all from one custom remote.
- Smart IR Wizard, one-tap programming. Pick brand, pick model, the code lands on the button. Done.
- Custom buttons, custom icons, custom wallpapers. Use any image you have.
- FAQ and Help docs polished. Hardware section, IR/RF section, troubleshooting flows for offline devices, and the "I don't have the original remote" path that funnels you straight into Smart IR.
The Universal Translator.
Free. In any browser. No account. People sell entire products that do less than this.
- The IR/RF Signal Editor went online. Started as an editor for the app. We put it on the web. Now it converts every IR format anyone's ever used — Pronto hex, LIRC, Flipper Zero, BroadLink, Global Caché, Arduino raw timings. Paste any of them in, get any of them back out. Free. No account.
- Database revival. An old archive of remote codes — partially corrupted, scattered, incompletely indexed — got rescued, deduplicated, normalized, and folded back in. Hundreds of thousands of codes returned to the wild.
- Live wallpapers go full URL. RTSP stream, HLS feed, HTTP camera, MP4 clip, YouTube live URL — point it at anything. Watch the front porch. Fire the porch light from a button on top of it.
- All features unlocked. Buy once. Everything included. No subscription. No upsell. No "premium tier" gating the parts you actually need.
Build a Remote in Your Browser.
No app. No account. Just drag, drop, save, fire.
- The Online Remote Builder. Sit at your desktop, open the Builder, drag and drop your buttons, drop in custom icons, set custom wallpapers, save it as an .irc file, send it to your phone, open it. Done. Same layout, same buttons, fired through your blasters at home.
- One file format — .irc — everywhere. Works in the app. Works in the Online Builder. Works in the Web Viewer. Same file. Every device. Public domain standard, not a proprietary lock-in.
- Smart Codes Wizard inside the Builder. Add IR codes directly while you're designing. Now backed by the largest database on the internet.
- BroadLink learning timing tightened. Fewer "did it learn?" double-presses on noisy WiFi.
- Universal screen fit. Works on every screen size. Demo profile reworked.
Floats on Top of Netflix.
Watching a movie? The remote stays right there. Change the volume. Kill the ceiling fan.
- System-Wide Overlay. READYWARE floats on top of any other app. Watching Netflix? Your remote overlay stays right there. Change the volume or turn off the ceiling fan without leaving the app you're in.
- Home Automation Bridge. Control Zigbee, Z-Wave, HomePro and other non-IR ecosystems side-by-side with your IR/RF devices. Built-in HTTP action bridge to Home Assistant, SmartThings, or Hubitat.
- Smart IR Wizard — one-tap program. Tap any button, run the wizard, pick your brand, code is instantly assigned, saved, ready to fire.
- Default Remote Templates — improved portrait and landscape layouts. Flip the tablet anytime, buttons stay perfectly on screen.
- Adaptive Device Setup. Big, clear Active Device card at the top — works the same no matter which transmitter type you're using.
- Cross-browser polish. Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave, the weird ones too. If it can render HTML, it can be a remote.
Multi-Device. Smart IR Upgrade.
One tap. Different transmitter. The remote doesn't care which one is in the room.
- Active Device Switching. Set any transmitter as your active device on the fly. BroadLink, USB IR, built-in phone IR, iTach WiFi — one tap to switch.
- Multi-Transmitter Support. Assign different buttons to different transmitters from the same remote.
- USB IR Blaster — verified plug-and-play. FLIRC USB, Irdroid v3, USB UIRT, generic HID, CH341/CH340, CP210x.
- RF Learning expanded. Latest BroadLink RM4 Pro firmware revisions. 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 MHz bands.
- Smart IR/RF Database crossed 600,000 free codes — already the largest free IR/RF library on the web.
Web Viewer Goes Live.
Your wallpaper stays. The buttons fade. The remote disappears into the screen.
- Web Viewer — website wallpapers now load correctly in the browser.
- Button timeout hides icons; wallpaper stays visible and interactive underneath.
- Overlay timeout stays active while you scroll webpage wallpapers.
- 80,000+ new IR signals added — ONN, Coby, and hundreds of new brands.

The Overlay Update.
Control from any browser. Real wallpapers. Real time.
- Web Viewer — control from any browser with real wallpapers in real time.
- USB IR blaster support with manual add option.
- Canvas scaling — fits any screen size automatically.
- Improved demo profile with GIF wallpapers.
- Profile load no longer affects premium status or Web Viewer.
- 350,000+ IR signals — already the largest database of downloadable remotes on the internet.
174,000 Codes Recovered.
An old, almost-lost code archive came back from the dead.
- 174,000 codes recovered from a partially corrupted archive and folded back into the database. The salvage effort that's still going.
- Web Viewer — browser control with real wallpapers in real time.
- Canvas scaling fixed — now fits any screen size automatically.
- Database total now 240,000+ codes — and the salvage operation is still going.
The .irc Standard. The Beginning.
The world needed an open IR standard. Now it has one.
- The .irc file format. READYWARE .irc files store the raw physics of IR and RF signals — pulse timings in microseconds — making every remote you build immune to hardware changes, company shutdowns, and platform lock-in. Forever.
- Full custom canvas IR and RF remote control — both Smart and Learning. One canvas. Every signal type.
- Electronic Personification. We didn't sit down and say "let me build a Windows IR blaster." We built a web remote — Windows compatibility just showed up, because browsers exist on every device. We didn't say "let me build a multi-room intercom." We built a remote that runs on any tablet, phone, or browser — the intercom showed up, because microphones exist. We didn't say "let me build a security camera monitor with controls." We built a live wallpaper — the camera feed showed up, because URLs exist. Every one of those things is something somebody else built an entire product around. Spent years on it. Charged a subscription. Ours just has it. Because the device already had it. We just got out of the way.
READYWARE updates are free for life. Buy once, get every future version. Updates deliver automatically through Google Play and the App Store — including every build above and every one to come. No subscription. No upsell. No "premium tier."
