Control Mac apps via a number of remotes.

Remote BuddyOverview

Remote Buddy allows you to remotely control anything on your Mac with your iPhone, iPod Touch, Apple Remote or Wii Remote. Features and ideas on what you can use it for include:

  • Control your Mac and access its iTunes library via your iPhone or iPod Touch using Remote Buddy's AJAX Remote
  • Support for switching between AirPlay speakers
  • Use many EyeTV remotes to control Remote Buddy
  • Control your entire Mac with your remote control: applications, games, mouse, keyboard, internet, ratings, audio, video, drives, files, displays, power, ..
  • Virtual on screen keyboard and mouse. Virtual remote control emulating an Apple Remote.
  • 100+ different Behaviours that support applications, games, tools, operating system and hardware control already included.
  • Decent, smart, dynamic and configurable menu that you can adjust to your needs (and not the other way round).
  • The most powerful, most versatile, most rapidly growing tool for the Apple Remote. Winner in the "Best use of Apple Technologies" category of the MacGeneration Awards 2006.
  • Not afraid of a thorough test: testdrive the full, unlimited product for up to 30 days using the trial version.
  • Unparalleled, direct hardware support: built-in support for the most popular remote controls on the Mac: Apple Remote, Apple iPhone, Harmony Smart Control, Wii Remote, many EyeTV remotes, Sony BD Remote, Keyspan DMR, Keyspan Express, Keyspan RF Remote for Front Row, Griffin AirClick USB, and more.
  • Built-in, powerful developer tools for those who won't accept the sky as the limit ;-)

NEW

  • NEW: Remote Buddy now supports OS X Yosemite.
  • Enhancement: optimizations for iTunes 12
  • Enhancement: Plex Behaviour now uses an updated UDP packet format for Plex HT. The "Navigation" actions produce the same results as Plex HT's built-in Apple Remote support. Thanks to Adrian Ross for bringing this to our attention.
  • Fix: the previous/next page actions of the Safari Behaviour now also work with Safari 6 and up.
  • Fix: effect selection overlay in Photo Booth now positioned correctly on screens other than the main screen.
  • Fix: Addressed an issue with time computations at daylight saving time, which could lead to high CPU load for one hour.
