Tutti Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tutti Remote turns your iPhone into a sofa remote for Tutti, the macOS app that plays the same audio through any number of speakers at once. Pair once with your Mac over your home Wi-Fi, then from anywhere in the room: ⢠Choose which speakers play ā pick any mix of your Mac's output devices. ⢠Set the volume of each speaker, plus one master level for everything. ⢠Tune per-app volume ā turn Spotify down without touching Chrome. ⢠Control playback ā play, pause, and skip with a tactile wheel. ⢠Recall presets ā jump to a saved speaker setup in one tap. Tutti Remote is free. It needs a Mac on the same Wi-Fi running Tutti; the remote controls a Pro feature of the Mac app. Pairing uses a one-time code over an encrypted local-network connection. Private by design: no account, no analytics, nothing leaves your network. The app talks only to your own Mac.
