Shortcut Remote Control vs TapTiller

If you've already purchased the Mac companion app, the iOS app is free to download. The iOS app and Mac app are bundled together as one price. With Shortcuts Remote you can connect remote-controlling your Mac with Siri. For example, tell Siri on your HomePod to mute the volume on your Mac. Or tell Siri on Apple Watch to pause Netflix on your Mac. Or use the Shortcuts app to create more sophisticated workflows – controlling every aspect of your Mac with the power of AppleScript. And the best thing: Shortcut Remote control even works from remote: All data is securely synced via iCloud. So you can even take a screenshot on your Mac while at the gym.

TapTiller turns your iPhone into a beautiful, customizable command surface for your Mac. Pair your iPhone with your Mac on the same local network, build your own control grid, and keep your most-used actions one tap away. Open Mac apps, launch websites, trigger keyboard shortcuts, control media, adjust volume, and manage compatible Home accessories from a clean touch-first interface. Create pages for different workflows, like design, writing, meetings, music, or smart home control. Choose compact or expanded layouts, customize tile colors, organize shortcut groups, and make TapTiller fit the way you work. Features: - Pair securely with your Mac using a short local code - Launch Mac apps from your iPhone - Open websites and saved URLs - Run keyboard shortcuts and window actions - Control playback, mute, skip, and volume - Add compatible Home accessories like lights, fans, outlets, and shades - Create multiple custom pages for different workflows - Use 2x4 or 3x6 grid layouts - Customize tile colors and icons - No account required - TapTiller is not a remote desktop.
