## What is TCast Remote?

TCast Remote controls TCast on your Mac from an iPhone or iPad. It talks to the Mac over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in case of an annoying network. 

Pair by being on the same network as or near your Mac. You can also scan the QR code in TCast's Remote Control settings or enter the IP info manually. Do it once and after that the app will automatically find your Mac by itself.

Use it live! You can:
• Fire clips from a grid grouped by playlist, with thumbnails and a red tally on whatever is live
• Play, pause, restart, skip to the next or previous clip, and seek ten seconds either way
• Read a running timecode that stays smooth between the Mac's updates
• Cut to black, and clear all layers
• Ride the master fader in dB, and mute

Bluetooth carries the same controls as Wi-Fi with slightly lower quality thumbnails. If the house network doesn't work, you can have transport, tally, and the fader, with no access point involved.

Requires TCast for macOS, running on a Mac you can reach. This app does nothing on its own. TCast is a separate download from tcast.app.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-01

A new app icon, plus a few connection fixes! Here's what's new:

- Fixed an issue where the app claimed it was reconnecting every 15 seconds even on a healthy connection
- Fixed an issue where, if the control password was changed on the Mac, a prompt to enter the new one wouldn't show up
- Fixed an issue where the app would not properly fall back on the other connection method if one failed
- Fixed an issue where password-protected TCast instances would not show as locked if only Bluetooth was enabled
- Fixed an issue where TCast instances would show up as an IP address, or just as "TCast", instead of the computer name (Note: if you are connecting for the first time and only Bluetooth is enabled, the computer name will not show on the list. It will show after connecting, and then any time thereafter)
- Fixed an issue where thumbnails wouldn't update to their higher quality versions after moving to Wi-Fi

Some of these fixes need TCast 1.2.1 or later on the Mac. Thanks for using TCast!
