CiderTV

CiderTV is a super handy app for OS X that helps you control your Apple TV, even if you've misplaced the original remote. Just connect your Mac's keyboard to the Apple TV using Bluetooth, and CiderTV takes care of mimicking the remote signals!

How to Use CiderTV with Your Apple TV

If you still have your Apple TV remote, you're all set! You can easily browse through the menus. But if it's lost, don’t worry! You’ll need to connect your Apple TV to your Mac with a USB cable and restore it through iTunes.

Pairing Your Devices

In both scenarios, make sure to pair your Mac’s keyboard with the Apple TV over Bluetooth. To do this, just go into the Bluetooth Settings on your Apple TV, select your keyboard from the list, and confirm the pairing on your Mac. Easy peasy!

Detailed Instructions Available

If you need more help with pairing, you'll find detailed instructions right in the main window of CiderTV. It’s pretty user-friendly!

Control Multiple Apple TVs

The cool part? Inside CiderTV’s user interface, you can connect as many Apple TVs as you want. Once everything is paired up nicely, the app will replicate all those familiar buttons from the original remote.

Navigating Made Simple

CiderTV comes equipped with arrow buttons for easy navigation through menus and for adjusting volume too! Plus, it has OK and Menu buttons that work just like they do on your Apple Remote. So even without that native remote in hand, you can still control everything hassle-free.

Easy Setup Process

The best part about CiderTV? It's super simple to set up! All you need to do is pair your devices via Bluetooth—no complicated steps involved. That means you'll be up and running in no time!
