TV remote control apps
This cluster consists of mobile and TV apps that let users remotely control TVs, set-top boxes, and media players, covering devices like Android TV, Samsung, Roku, Enigma2, and Linux-based media centers. The dated history, based on pre-index months, spans sparse entries from 2011 through 2025, with one or two per year in most years and a slight increase to three in 2025. The traction leader is remote-control-linux-tv, which has 1 star; other listed products have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
