DeskRemote — keyboard shortcuts for LG TVs

Control your LG webOS TV from your computer with global hotkeys, no remote needed

Problem

People using LG OLED as a monitor must hunt for the remote or open a phone app to switch HDMI inputs or sleep the TV, breaking their keyboard/mouse workflow. ThinQ requires an account and goes through the cloud.

A lightweight native desktop app that controls LG webOS TVs directly over LAN, supports global hotkeys for HDMI switching and sleep/wake, with no account required.

Users

LG OLED-as-monitor users, multi-device (PS5/Switch/Apple TV) desktop gamers

Revenue

One-time purchase (e.g., $9.99) with 7-day trial

Why now

Remote work and multi-device desktops are common; demand for account-free, low-latency local control is clear; webOS protocol is open and stable
