About Kore

Kore is the official remote for Kodi, with a simple and easy to use interface.

What Kore Is Used For

Kore appears to be a companion remote app for Kodi, designed to let you control a Kodi media setup from an Android phone. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used as a remote-friendly control surface for navigating playback, browsing media, and managing Kodi from across the room rather than interacting directly with the TV interface.

Because it connects over a network, the listed internet and Wi‑Fi permissions make sense for discovering and communicating with a Kodi device on the same network. The media-related storage permissions suggest it may also work with local media browsing or media-related tasks on the phone, though the core use case is still remote control. As a phone app in the video players and editors category, it is best suited for everyday Kodi control rather than content creation or editing.

Common uses

  • Control Kodi playback from a phone
  • Navigate Kodi menus and library screens
  • Use it as a room-friendly remote for a TV-connected Kodi device
  • Interact with Kodi over a local network connection
  • Manage media playback without using the TV remote
  • Useful when you want quicker phone-based control of Kodi
  • May be helpful for browsing media on a large-screen Kodi setup
Best for:
Kodi users phone remote control media center control home theater setups large screen
