Official Kodi Remote for iPhone

Quick summary

Official Kodi Remote is a full-featured iPhone app built to control Kodi Media Center. It gives you direct access to your media collection and most Kodi functions from your phone, making browsing, playback and system adjustments quick and simple.

Core capabilities

• Control live TV channels and manage PVR recordings from your device.
• View detailed item pages (albums, artists, movies, TV seasons) and add tracks or videos to play or queue.
• Browse your library, perform searches and apply sorting, and jump to favorites.
• Tweak Kodi settings remotely and navigate the file system when needed.
• See current playback information with cover art, posters and thumbnails where available.

Playback and TV control

Use the app to play individual files or build a play queue without touching the main media center. It also supports switching to live TV streams and can trigger or play back recordings from your PVR setup, so you can manage live and recorded television straight from your phone.

Keeping your library tidy

You can browse files on the device running Kodi, refresh or clean the library metadata, and update listings as your collection changes. These maintenance tools make it easy to keep artwork, metadata and indexes accurate.

Display options and compatibility

The remote supports iOS Dark Mode for a low-light friendly interface. It is compatible with Kodi/XBMC releases starting with Eden (version 11) and later.

Final notes and alternative

Official Kodi Remote is a polished, user-friendly companion for Kodi users who want full control from an iPhone. If you’re looking for another option to compare, consider Streisand Free as an alternative.
