BeamPad: TV Keyboard Remote

Stop hunting letters with a D-pad.

Typing a Wi-Fi password or a search on a TV means steering a box across an on-screen grid, one letter at a time. BeamPad turns your phone into a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and remote, so you can just type.

NOTHING TO INSTALL ON YOUR TV

BeamPad pairs over Bluetooth as a standard wireless keyboard and mouse. Your TV, streaming box or computer sees an ordinary Bluetooth keyboard: no companion app, no account, no sign-up.

NO WI-FI NEEDED

Pairing and typing work over Bluetooth alone, with Wi-Fi off, broken or not set up yet. That matters most when Wi-Fi is the very thing you are trying to set up.

TYPE ANYWHERE

Use your phone's own keyboard, with autocorrect, swipe and voice input, in any text field on the screen: search boxes, logins, Wi-Fi passwords, app store searches.

TRACKPAD AND MOUSE

Drag to move the pointer, tap to click, two fingers to scroll. A real mouse for TV web browsers, settings menus buried three levels deep and anything else a D-pad handles badly.

REMOTE AND MEDIA KEYS

D-pad, OK, Back, Home, volume and channels, plus play, pause, skip and seek. A backup for when the real remote is lost, broken or out of batteries.

SAVED SNIPPETS

Save your Wi-Fi password, email or streaming login once, then send it to the screen with one tap. No more reading characters off the back of the router.

Snippets are encrypted with a key held in your phone's secure hardware and left out of cloud backups. Protected snippets ask for your fingerprint, face or PIN before sending.

WORKS WITH

Anything that accepts a Bluetooth keyboard:

• Google TV and Android TV, including Sony, TCL, Hisense and Philips

• Amazon Fire TV (the pointer works in apps that support a mouse)

• Samsung TVs (most models)

• LG TVs (many models; some take keyboards over USB only)

• Apple TV (typing and arrow keys)

• Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Linux

• Projectors with Bluetooth keyboard support

Quick test: if your device's Bluetooth menu can add a keyboard, mouse or accessory, BeamPad works with it. Roku devices don't accept Bluetooth keyboards, so they are not supported.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

No account, no cloud sync and no server. What you type goes only to the screen you paired with, as keystrokes. Your snippets are never uploaded or backed up, and we cannot read them.

FREE WITH ADS

BeamPad is free and supported by ads, which load only when you have an internet connection and never see your snippets or anything you type. BeamPad Pro removes them.
