Your Mac’s sound. In your hands. Xiylo Pro Remote controls Xiylo Pro running on your Mac. Adjust individual Mac apps, choose their outputs and shape their sound from your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. Audio processing and recording happen on the Mac; this app does not equalize, amplify or record audio playing on your iPhone or iPad. CONTROL EACH MAC APP • Change one app’s volume without changing the others. • Adjust its left/right stereo balance separately from volume, with a gentle centre snap. • Choose one or more connected Mac audio outputs for that app. • Cycle Off, Single and Double Boost with clear indicators. • Start and stop supported app recordings with a clear REC/STOP state. Files stay on your Mac and preserve the selected app’s L/R balance. 31-BAND EQ + ADVANCED MOOD LENS Explore presets and the 10-band Basic or 31-band Advanced Equalizer. Open the selected app’s Mood Lens to move one point towards Warm, Clean, Vocal or Lift. Advanced Mood Lens brings that same simple gesture to the 31-band setup. The mode and settings stay in sync with your Mac. MORE OF YOUR MAC WITHIN REACH Manage Mac output and input levels, and settings including Spectrum Shift, Dynamic Tone and Adaptive Energy. Spectrum Shift supports Apple Music, Safari, Spotify and AirPlay on the Mac; recognition depends on the content being played. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Use compact and expanded layouts, including both folded and unfolded displays. The iPad interface is designed for landscape. Your remote controls the Mac’s audio apps, not the phone’s or tablet’s own audio. NOW ON APPLE WATCH The Xiylo Pro Watch companion is included with the iOS app. • Turn the Digital Crown to select a Mac app. • Slide around the outer ring to adjust that app’s volume. • Use app mute, REC/STOP and Single/Double Boost. • Hold the centre to open that app’s Mood Lens. Move its point and tap the title to switch between Basic and Advanced. • See the default Mac microphone’s mute state in the inner ring. It is an indicator, not a microphone or Red Shift switch. PAIR ON YOUR LOCAL NETWORK Keep the Mac and iPhone/iPad on the same local network. Open Remote Pairing in the Mac app, tap Pair on the remote, compare the numbers and confirm Numbers match on both devices. Add another trusted remote without forgetting existing ones. Apple Watch connects through its paired iPhone while that iPhone is connected to the Mac. Use the latest Mac and remote versions together. If an older remote asks to Pair after updating, confirm a new pairing once. No account is required for remote audio control. Preview mode lets you explore sample controls without a Mac; it does not control audio. Full functionality requires Xiylo Pro for macOS. The remote has no paywall or purchase flow; the Mac app manages its own trial and lifetime unlock. Recording is available for supported sources. Recording captures app audio only. Record only content you are authorised to record.
