Ratings and Reviews
Can, but why?
I know this app hasn’t been updated in a while, but it is a missed opportunity. The level of remote access that this has to my Mac could be used to do so much more. For starters, even having remote trackpad and keyboard and put on the phone or a presentation clicker mode would go along way to making this in your replaceable companion to the Mac Alfred experience.
Supremely disappointing
There is no way to get access to arbitrary keyboard and mouse controls so you have to manually build workflows for any little thing you would want to do.
Don’t buy
App is unreliable. It allowed me to connect and hasn’t allowed me to connect since. Don’t waste your money.
