Lovense has launched Remote 8.0, a significant update to its Remote App, which serves as a primary entry point to the Lovense ecosystem. The update introduces a unified experience that integrates hardware, content, interactive experiences, and community features, while maintaining continuous access to device controls.

Remote 8.0 Features and Structure

The Remote 8.0 update, officially launched in July 2026, builds upon the Remote App's existing device-control capabilities. This version aims to unify the Lovense ecosystem by bringing together various elements. The app is now organized into five main spaces: Community, Message, Toy, Explore, and Me. These spaces are presented within a clearer and more cohesive structure, designed to provide users with a more consistent way to navigate between controlling connected devices, discovering content, accessing interactive experiences, and connecting with others. The update extends Remote’s established role in device control across a broader ecosystem experience.

A central aspect of the redesigned experience is persistent access to toy controls. Users can navigate away from the main control panel while connected devices continue to operate. A floating control bubble remains available for intensity adjustments as users browse other areas of the app. Additionally, physical volume keys can be used to directly change device intensity. These features allow users to explore more of the Lovense ecosystem without needing to repeatedly return to the main control screen.

Lovense's Ecosystem Evolution

Dan Liu, CEO of Lovense, stated that Remote 8.0 reflects the company's commitment to improving the user experience. He added that by creating a clearer and more unified journey across control, content, interaction, and community, this update strengthens the foundation for the continued evolution of the Lovense ecosystem. The update also brings community participation and shared content closer to Remote’s established functions.

Lovense, a Singapore-based sex tech company, specializes in remotely controlled sex toys and pleasure products, along with their accompanying software. Founded by Dan Liu in 2010, the company's inspiration came from teledildonics and long-distance relationships. Lovense is known for its interconnected devices, app ecosystem, and integrations across creator and cam platforms. The company's headquarters are in Singapore, and it serves a worldwide market.

Company History and Product Development

Lovense has a history of developing app-based sex toys. In 2013, the company launched its first app-based sex toys, Max (a male masturbator) and Nora (a rabbit vibrator). In 2014, Lovense integrated app controlling into its products. The Lush vibrator was launched in 2016, following a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGogo that raised S$100,000. The same year, an oscillating G-spot massager was introduced, and Lovense partnered with VirtualRealPorn.

In 2017, Lovense released five additional devices: Hush, Ambi, Domi, Edge, and Osci. The company introduced a USB Bluetooth adapter in 2018, enabling its devices to connect to Windows computers. In 2019, Lovense upgraded and relaunched three of its previous devices as Lush 2, Max 2, and Osci 2. The year 2020 saw the launch of Domi 2 and a limited edition product called Mission.

In January 2021, Lovense announced a "digital orgies" feature, allowing up to 100 participants to join via the Lovense app. In early February 2021, Lovense partnered with CamSoda to launch Diamo, a vibrating cock ring. This ring was also included in an Elden Ring mod. In the same year, the company launched Ferri, a small-sized panty vibrator.
