Rowmote Helper

Rowmote Helper is super handy for those times when you're away from your Mac but want to change the track on iTunes or skip a song on Spotify. No more scrambling to find that remote!

What is Rowmote Helper?

This app acts like your very own Apple Remote but with a twist. Instead of using a physical remote, you can control your Mac right from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It's perfect for when you can't reach your mouse or just want to chill on the couch.

Easy Setup and Use

To get started, just install Rowmote Helper on your Mac. It runs quietly in the background and adds itself to your login items so it’s always ready when you need it.

No Need for Line-of-Sight

The best part? With Rowmote, you don’t need a direct line-of-sight to control your Mac. Unlike the Apple Remote that relies on IR signals, Rowmote uses your Wi-Fi network. As long as both devices are connected to the same network, you're good to go!

Control Multiple Apps

Rowmote supports tons of applications like iTunes, Spotify, VLC, DVD Player, Keynote, Quicktime, Safari, Aperture, and Firefox! You can manage everything without being tied down. For a full list of supported apps, check out this link.

Sleep and Wake Your Mac

Another cool feature is that you can put your Mac to sleep and wake it back up whenever you need it. Pair this with password protection when waking up from sleep mode for extra security!

Your Perfect Remote Solution

If you've misplaced your Apple Remote or just prefer using your iOS device instead of carrying around another gadget, then Rowmote Helper is definitely the way to go! With its easy-to-use features and wireless connection capabilities, managing what's happening on your Mac's desktop has never been easier.
