Control - Mac Remote Control
Remotely Control Mac Apps
Free · Designed for iPad
The simplest, fastest way to control basic media playback on your Mac. No subscription, payment, or companion app installs needed.
Control currently supports system-level volume controls and basic media controls for the following apps:
• TV.app
• Music.app
• QuickTime Player
• VLC
• IINA
• Spotify
• Safari (experimental)
If you'd like to use Control with an app that isn't on this list, send a request and I'll look into adding it.
Note: Control connects directly to your Mac using built-in permissions. This requires being on the same network and enabling Remote Access.
Powered by AppleScript.
