A shortcut app that looks like a real remote
Home screens are crowded with tiny icons. Penzap gives the things you use most a big button on a remote you design: the apps you open every day, the people you call and text, the websites you check, your music and your TV. Pick chrome, gold, glass, neon or marble finishes, round or hexagon buttons, and a body from carbon fiber to walnut. Then put the remote on your home screen and run your day with one tap.
Want more? Build flows that run several steps from one button, turn buttons into a Roku remote, or make a matching wallpaper and app icons for your whole phone. How-to guides walk through every feature.
Questions people ask
What is Penzap?
Penzap is a customizable remote for your phone. You design big, good-looking buttons, and each one opens an app, a website, a call, a text, an email, music, a Roku command or a several-step flow with one tap.
Is Penzap free?
Yes. Penzap Free lets you build and use your remote with no time limit. Penzap Pro unlocks every finish and pack, phone themes, Roku control and the Design Studio. See Free vs Pro for the details.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Penzap runs in any phone browser, and you can add it to your iPhone or Android home screen so it opens like an app. The Penzap Android app adds a floating remote, a home-screen widget and app shortcuts from your phone.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Sign up at penzap.com and your remote works right away. Adding it to your home screen takes three taps and needs no app store.
Can Penzap control my Roku?
Yes, in the Penzap app on a phone on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku. Buttons can send Home, Play, volume, input and channel commands. Roku control is part of Penzap Pro.
Is my remote saved if I change phones?
Yes. Your remote saves to your account automatically, so it is the same on every phone, tablet and computer you sign in on.
