Description

Rowmote lets you seamlessly control audio, video, and presentation applications on your Mac from your iOS device.

You love the remote control which came with your Mac - so simple yet elegant, with easy control of Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more.

Or, your Mac didn’t come with a remote control or doesn’t even have an infrared port. Buying a remote control, from Apple or a third party, would carry a significant cost!

You carry your iPhone or iPod Touch wherever you go... so why should you carry a second device just to control your computer? Furthermore, why should you need line-of-sight to do so?

Enter Rowmote! Rowmote is like your Mac’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! By tapping the Apps button, you get bonus abilities, switching between controlled programs, toggling the iTunes Visualizer, and more. Rowmote will even wake sleeping Macs.

FEATURES

- Control your Mac over a wireless network. No line of sight necessary.

- Functions just like the hardware Apple Remote Control in:
• Adobe Lightroom

• The Tube
• VLC
• xbmc (Xbox Media Center)

- SWITCH: Access your Mac’s Dock, launching & switch between all controllable applications on the Mac, toggle the iTunes visualizer, and more. Order & display customizable.

- Click-and-hold works just like on the physical remote in applications; for example, holding the right button fast-forwards, while a single click is ‘next’. This is a feature no other iPhone remote control I know of does properly!

- Sleep on demand; wake the Mac automatically
- Pause the music or video automatically when you answer a call on your iPhone
- Proximity sensor support to automatically turn the screen off if the device is face-down
- Secure authentication
- Optional dark interface
- Connect via WiFi or Bluetooth (Bluetooth requires Personal Hotspot Bluetooth tethering)

REQUIREMENTS

• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
• Mac: The free Rowmote Helper program must be running on the Mac to be controlled. Download at www.rowmote.com. Some features require later versions of Mac OS X.

Rowmote is a steal! Couple it with Apple’s free Remote app to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo, mobile presentation, or casual video viewing.

Timiscuous ,

Minimal functionality

The old row more would act as a mouse and keyboard. This app will only control functions of already installed programmes. Basically it’s play and pause for videos and that’s it.

Read the fine print!

After downloading to use my iPhone as a remote for Apple TV I find it doesn't work with latest Apple TV and involves hacking into your Apple TV not recommended!

Best for Mac

Our family owns multiple apple computers, each with iPhones or iPods. When searching for the ultimate Mac remote we quickly discovered that Rowmote offered the best functionality for all Mac applications. We mostly use it as a Mac TV remote for watching movies. Very simple to operate, 100% reliable and one of our all time favorite applications. 10/10.
