Tactra Remote

A focused Apple-native remote for speakers, amplifiers, TVs, streamers, soundbars, consoles, and media rooms exposed through Home Assistant.

Preparing V1 iPhone, iPad, Watch, Mac One purchase. Local-first control. No subscriptions.

Built for the media rack

Not a generic dashboard.

Hi-fi control surface

Large tactile volume, clear routing, source selection, playback controls, and quick access to the devices you actually touch every day.

Home Assistant first

Media players, remotes, sources, and service calls are normalized before the UI uses them, keeping the app focused and predictable.

Local and private

Tactra is designed around your own Home Assistant instance and local network. We do not collect or sell personal data.

Apple-native surfaces

One media remote across the Apple devices in your home.

Tactra is being prepared as one product path for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. The goal is a single purchase that follows the user instead of splitting the same remote into separate apps.

Control Audio target picker, retro volume knob, source selection, mute, and now playing.
Remote TV, Apple TV, console, and remote entity controls with separate audio/playback targets.
Activities Multi-device routines for screens, audio, lights, consoles, and Home Assistant services.
