Actions depend on the app, preset and focused window. Remoter sends your configured shortcuts; you stay in charge.
Check your setup before you download.
- Your Mac
- The included v0.2.3 download is for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later. There is no Intel download here.
- Your Siri Remote
- Start with a 3rd-generation Siri Remote (USB-C), the documented setup. Older models have different controls; do not assume full feature parity.
- Your voice mode
- App-only uses the Mac microphone. Remote audio requires Full Setup, Apple’s PacketLogger and extra permissions. Availability depends on your setup.
