Turn Touch3.0

Turn Touch is a solid wood remote that lives anywhere. Use it to control devices, lights, and apps on your phone and Mac.

Turn Touch is your light switch. Turn Touch is your power switch. Your alarm clock. Your news reader. Even your DJ. With dozens of apps, this remote fits into your home with ease.

If you choose to, this app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which can decrease device battery life. But the effect is negligible as the app only needs to run when you press a button.
