Presence Remote is the companion app for Presence on your Mac. Presence uses the Bluetooth signal from your iPhone or Apple Watch to tell whether you're at your desk: it locks your Mac when you walk away and unlocks it when you come back. Free features • Lock your Mac right away from your iPhone, Apple Watch, Control Center, Lock Screen, or the Action button • Pause or resume automatic locking (unlock your iPhone first to pause or resume) • See your Mac's status at a glance: whether you're nearby and whether it's locked • Get notified when your Mac locks because you left, or when someone unlocks it while you're away • Encrypted confirmation before unlocking: your Mac asks your iPhone to answer with the key created when you paired, so a spoofed Bluetooth signal alone can't unlock it • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Apple Watch complications, and Siri and Shortcuts actions Presence Pro: Presenter Remote Turn your iPhone and Apple Watch into a presentation clicker. No extra remote to buy, no receiver to plug in. • Tap or swipe to change slides; jump to a slide, blank the screen, start and end the show • Laser pointer, spotlight, and highlighter: wherever your finger moves on your iPhone, it appears on the projected screen • Adjust your Mac’s volume when a video in your slides is too loud or too quiet • Change slides from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, even when your phone is locked • On Apple Watch, tap, turn the Digital Crown, or double tap • Talk timer with a tap on your wrist at 5 minutes left and when time is up • Walk on stage without your Mac locking the projected screen • Works with popular presentation apps, slides in the browser, and PDFs Presence Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription (both with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time purchase, and all three can be shared with your family. Subscriptions renew automatically; cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. What you need • The free Presence app on your Mac (macOS 26 or later), available at github.com/chung223/Presence • In Presence on your Mac, click Pair New iPhone and scan the QR code with this app • For Presenter Remote, turn on Allow Presenter Remote in Presence on your Mac Privacy Presence Remote collects no data and needs no account or internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aladdin X at none against Presence Remote's 3. Aladdin X also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Presence Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
