Sotto is a native iOS remote for Denon and Marantz A/V receivers - calm, instant and built for the couch, not the settings tree. Its signature volume dial moves in half-steps, jumps the moment you touch it, and settles when the receiver confirms - it never flickers back to a stale value. Scenes run power, input, volume, sound mode and Zone 2 in one tap. Works with Siri, Shortcuts, widgets and Control Center. Private by design - it only talks to your receiver on your own network. Free open beta.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Georgios, the solo developer behind Sotto.
I built it because controlling my Denon from the couch drove me up the wall. The official HEOS app is slow, it mirrors the receiver's on-screen menus, and every tap lags behind the hardware. I wanted something calm and instant - organized around what I actually do (volume, inputs, scenes), not the settings tree.
So Sotto has:
- A volume dial with half-step precision and a huge readout - the number snaps the instant your thumb lands and eases to the real value once the receiver answers (optimistic UI, never jumps back to a stale reading).
- Scenes - one tap runs power → input → volume → sound mode → Zone 2, with a calm activation overlay.
- Every Apple surface - Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, Control Center / Lock Screen.
- Private by design - it only ever talks to your receiver on your local network. No account, no analytics, no tracking.
- A dark "audiophile instrument" look made for one-handed, late-night use.
It's a free open beta right now (the whole app, everything unlocked). The one thing I really need: the Denon/Marantz control protocol varies in small, annoying ways between models, and I can only test a couple of units.
If you own any Denon or Marantz receiver, please try it and tell me what breaks - the app can optionally share an anonymized model/firmware/zones snapshot (never your network, serial, or what you're playing) so I can add proper support for your exact model.
