What Sideclick Remotes does

Sideclick Remotes is a family-owned consumer electronics company that designs, manufactures, and sells clip-on universal remote attachments for streaming device remotes. Founded in 2015 by Brett and Jenn Epstein and operated under True Bloom LLC from Jupiter, Florida, the company was created after the founders switched from cable to streaming and grew frustrated with managing multiple remotes (TV, soundbar, streaming device). Its core product is a slim universal remote that physically snaps onto existing streaming remotes and consolidates control of multiple devices into one.

• Inteset: Inteset makes programmable universal remotes for streaming and home theater applications with custom button mapping. Comparable as a direct-to-consumer universal remote specialist.
• Logitech Harmony: Logitech's Harmony line was the dominant universal remote family for home theater/streaming consolidation. Although discontinued in 2021, it was the most direct competitor to Sideclick's universal-control value proposition.

• BroadLink: BroadLink makes IR/RF universal remote hubs and smart home controllers that consolidate AV device control via app and accessories. Direct overlap with Sideclick's IR-learning control value proposition.

Others

• Tile: Tile makes Bluetooth item trackers that integrate with remote find-my features. Sideclick already accommodates Apple AirTag in its Apple TV adapter clip, making Tile a thematically related ecosystem player.

Emerging players
