WLED Max
The ultimate iOS app for controlling WLED LED strips. Auto-discovery, real-time control, and 180+ stunning effects at your fingertips.
Requires a WLED-powered ESP32 or ESP8266 device
All Your Devices, One App
Manage all your WLED installations from a single dashboard. Organize devices into rooms like Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen, and Outdoor. Power on an entire group with one tap or control individual devices — your setup, your way.
Auto Discovery
Adding devices has never been easier. Open the app, tap the + button, and your WLED devices appear automatically via mDNS — no IP addresses to remember. Prefer manual entry? That works too. You can even set up a brand new ESP32 directly from your phone via WiFi Access Point.
Instant LED Control
Adjust brightness with a smooth slider, pick quick presets, and set color temperature — all with instant WebSocket response. Quick effect buttons let you switch between Solid, Rainbow, Breathe, Chase, and more without digging through menus.
Pick Any Color
A beautiful RGB color wheel designed for LED control. Drag to select any color and see it reflected on your LEDs in real-time. Switch between Colors and Whites modes, and edit primary, background, and custom color slots independently.
Browse Every Effect
All 187 built-in WLED effects organized by category — Solid, Classic, 2D, Volume, and Frequency. Search by name, filter by type, and tap to preview instantly. Each effect shows its icon and can be fine-tuned with speed and intensity controls.
Presets & Playlists
Save your favorite lighting configurations as presets and recall them with a single tap. Create playlists that automatically cycle through your saved looks. Back up your presets to the cloud so they're never lost.
Create Custom Groups
Create groups with custom names and icons, then assign devices to them. A device can belong to multiple groups — put your hallway strip in both "Downstairs" and "Night Mode" for scene-like control. See all your groups and assignments at a glance from the management screen.
Make It Yours
Customize the app with appearance themes, notification preferences, and Home Screen widgets. Set up Siri Shortcuts for voice control. Unlock unlimited devices with a one-time purchase. Direct links to WLED firmware and documentation built right in.
Built for iOS
Not a web wrapper. A fully native SwiftUI app designed around the iOS experience.
Auto Discovery
Finds WLED devices on your network automatically via mDNS. No manual IP entry required.
WebSocket Powered
Real-time communication over WebSocket means zero delay. Changes reflect on your LEDs instantly.
Native SwiftUI
Built with SwiftUI for smooth 60fps animations. Feels right at home alongside your other iOS apps.
