Read full description

Click Remote turns your iPhone into a remote control for your Mac. Use it to: • Control playback (previous, play/pause, next) • Adjust volume and screen brightness • Use your phone as a touchpad (move, click, scroll) • Send keyboard shortcuts and navigation keys (arrows, space, enter, tab, escape, delete) • Trigger Mac actions like Lock Screen and Sleep How it works: 1. Install the iOS app. 2. Install and run the companion macOS server app. 3. Pair your devices via QR code (or enter IP and port manually). 4. Control your Mac over the same local network. Important: • The iOS app uses Camera permission only for QR pairing. • The iOS app uses Local Network permission to connect to your Mac. • On macOS, Accessibility permission is required for system key/mouse control.
