About:
Remote Buddy is a comprehensive remote control solution that transforms your iPhone or iPad into a versatile input device for your Mac. It allows you to control applications, presentations, media playback, and even web videos directly from your mobile device. Its main value is providing a unified, customizable interface to interact with your computer from anywhere in the room.
Key Features:
  • Virtual input devices (trackpad, keyboard, game controller)
  • Application-specific control interfaces (Mappers)
  • Web video control for browser playback
  • Customizable interface builder
  • Support for multiple devices and profiles
Use Cases:
  • Controlling media playback on a Mac from the couch
  • Navigating presentations (Keynote, PowerPoint) during a speech
  • Using iPhone as a mouse and keyboard for a Mac mini or Apple TV
  • Playing browser games with touch controls
Alternatives:
  • Unified Remote – Cross-platform (Windows/Linux) alternative with a focus on file system and system control.
  • TouchOSC – More focused on audio/visual DJ and music production control rather than general OS navigation.
