About:
Rowmote Helper is a background utility that enables seamless remote control of macOS applications using the Rowmote Pro iOS app. It acts as a bridge, allowing your iPhone or iPad to control media playback, presentation slides, and other app functions over Wi-Fi. This tool is essential for users who want to transform their iOS device into a powerful universal remote for their Mac.

Key Features:
