## What is WatchControl?

Control your Mac's media playback from your Apple Watch: Pause/Resume, change volume, forward/previous, mute/unmute.  They talk to each other directly over bluetooth ... no logging in, no web services.

The companion Mac app is free to evaluate for a trial period, after which there is a small ONE TIME in-app purchase in the Mac app to unlock it for all your Macs using the same app-store account.
