Kliky
TV remote for LG smart TV
LG smart TVs run webOS and accept remote commands from devices on the same network. Kliky sends the keys of the LG remote: directions, OK, Back, Home, Settings, volume, channels, inputs and playback, and adds a touchpad that moves the on-screen pointer the way the Magic Remote does.
The first time you connect, the TV asks you to confirm the connection. After that the phone is remembered.
A universal remote for LG TV, without buying one
A plastic universal remote controls an LG TV by infrared and needs a setup code. It will not give you the pointer or voice. A phone app works over Wi‑Fi with no code, and the same app controls a Roku, a Fire TV or a Samsung TV in other rooms.
An old LG TV that is not a smart TV has no network connection, so no phone app can reach it. It needs an infrared remote.
Lost LG remote
LG TVs have a single button under the LG logo on the bottom edge. A short press turns the TV on and opens a small menu; further presses step through power, input and volume, and a long press selects.
With the TV on Wi‑Fi, a phone on the same network replaces the remote. To let the phone switch the TV on, enable TV On With Mobile in the TV’s settings (under Devices or Connection, depending on the webOS version).
LG TV with a Roku or Fire TV Stick
LG does not make Roku TVs or Fire TVs, but a stick in an HDMI port is common. HDMI‑CEC lets one remote steer a device on another HDMI port. Turn it on in the TV’s settings and the TV remote’s arrows, OK and Back keys drive the streaming stick, while the stick’s remote can switch the TV on and change its volume. LG calls it SimpLink. That is also how a Magic Remote controls a Firestick.
In Kliky the TV and the stick appear as two devices. See the Roku remote and Fire TV remote pages.
LG ThinQ and Kliky
LG’s ThinQ app includes a TV remote and asks you to sign in with an LG account and add the TV to it. Kliky is an independent app, not affiliated with LG. It opens straight to the remote and needs no account.
