aether turns your iPhone into a fast and easy to use control surface for your Mac. Pair over local Wi‑Fi, then trigger what you need in one tap: launch apps, run shortcuts, send keyboard combinations, open URL schemes, and execute shell commands. Create custom control pages with your own titles, symbols, colors, and synced app icons, then duplicate pages to build workflows quickly. aether automatically pulls your Mac’s app and shortcut catalog, keeps control layouts tied to the active Mac, and gives you a clean interface designed for speed and focus. You can also personalize the experience with light or dark mode and text style preferences. Requires the aether companion app on Mac.
