From the minds that brought you Kik, the ultra-fast mobile messaging app, comes Clik: a new platform that will let developers create smartphone apps that can control just about any screen with a web browser.

To prove the value of its platform, the company is releasing a free Clik YouTube app today for the iPhone and Android, which basically turns your smartphone into an addictively powerful Youtube remote control.

How Clik Works ?

Simply visit clickthis.com in any web browser, scan the QR code with the Clik app (see right), and you will be presented with options that directly control what the browser displays. On the Clik YouTube app, you will be able to choose from featured videos, as well as search for YouTube videos, that will instantly start playing on the remote screen.
