Rooms, not a list of devices
Devices belong to the room they physically live in. One tap powers the room on, volume buttons route to active speakers, and the remote adapts to what is on screen.
Coming to iPhone, iPad and Android
The universal remote that finishes the job.
MediaPond turns your phone or tablet into a unified media hub. It connects your cloud and local media sources to nearby TVs, speakers, and lights, automatically turning on your devices, switching to the right input, and launching the right app when you hit play*.
- No hub hardware
- No IR blaster
- No account
The gap
A remote replaces your buttons. MediaPond delivers the media.
Traditional remote apps replace physical remotes, but still leave you jumping between separate streaming apps, local servers, and input settings.
MediaPond brings your streaming services and local media libraries into a single, unified interface. Select what you want to watch, and MediaPond connects the catalog to your room's equipment in one step.
One unified interface for all your media and room devices.

What the app does
Eight things a universal remote app should have done years ago.
A remote that changes shape
Each device displays only the controls it actually supports, including a touch trackpad for Apple TV and dedicated remote decks.
Content first, app second
Browse titles across streaming services and local media in one catalog. MediaPond opens your choice directly inside supported apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Max, Disney+, YouTube, or Plex.
The launch sequence Premium
MediaPond sequences power and inputs automatically: the TV wakes, the input switches, the playing device powers up, and your title opens.
Now Playing, room by room
A persistent dock displays artwork, progress, and transport controls for whatever is playing in each room.
Wakes the TV that left the network
MediaPond wakes supported LG and Sony TVs even when deep standby causes them to drop off the local network.
Volume that finds the speakers Premium
Volume buttons automatically route to active soundbars or Sonos speakers rather than muted TV panels.
The light goes with the film
Govee lights over Matter and Home Assistant devices connect directly, so room lighting dims as playback starts.
Best on a tablet
Built for the tablet that stays in the room.
MediaPond runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. On a tablet, it turns a dedicated screen into a complete room control panel for your coffee table or wall mount.
The tablet layout puts your room's devices, active media, and unified content catalog on a single screen. On a phone, the controls stack neatly into a single column.
Supported today
The devices MediaPond speaks to.
Each one is driven over your local network in its own language, which is why supported models can switch a named input, open a specific episode, and report what is playing rather than only pushing arrow keys.
Screens and streamers

Pricing
Free for one room, and $34.99 a year for the house.
There is no trial countdown and no feature that quietly stops working after two weeks, because the free tier is meant to be a real product paid for by advertising. Premium is for houses with more than one screen in them, and it removes the ads.
Free
$0
- One room and three devices
- The whole content browser, with the same deep links
- Universal remote, Now Playing dock, wake-over-LAN
- Supported by ads, which is what pays for discovery
Premium
$3.99 a month or $34.99 a year
- Unlimited rooms, devices and scenes
- Automatic input switching and power sequencing
- No ads in the app
- Sonos room volume routing
No account is required either way. The free tier carries advertising because free accounts still use server bandwidth for content discovery and metadata, and a subscription is how you switch that off. This website itself sets no cookies and runs no trackers. What that means in practice.
Not every device or streaming app supports direct launching. MediaPond makes a good-faith, best-effort attempt to open content in the right app, and falls back to opening the app itself where a direct link is not available. Availability varies by device, app, region, and your subscriptions.
