Remotely Control Mac Apps

Overview

Version:

2.1.1

Last updated: 2026-07-30

Features & Capabilities

The simplest and fastest way to control media playback, volume, and more on your Mac. Control connects directly over your local network, so you never have to install or run a companion app.

【NEW】Control any app, video, or website with Keyboard controls. Re-arrange your keypad and add the commands (and shortcuts!) that are useful to you.

Additionally, Control always supports system-level volume controls and direct playback controls for the following apps: • TV.app • Music.app • QuickTime Player • VLC • IINA • mpv • Spotify • Safari (experimental)

No subscriptions, no payments, no ads, no tracking. Control is privacy-first and doesn't collect any data. It connects directly across your local network, so your information never even touches the internet.

Need more Control? Send a request anytime. I'd love to make the app as useful as possible.

Note: Control’s connection to your Mac is managed via built-in macOS permissions. Once accepted, Control will work forever with no additional setup. It requires being on the same network and enabling Remote Access. Some VPN clients may interfere, depending on settings.

User Reviews

Found this app via Gemini recommendation. I was looking for an app that can control my Mac's media, but all other remote control apps require a server app to be downloaded on my Mac. This seems to be the only app that only requires an iPhone download and some permissions access, and then you're ready to go. However, the only issue is Safari is experimental and it appeared not to work for me. So, I wasn't really able to use this app too much. Hopefully, in the future, there are better updates.
