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.
