Rowmote Pro: Remote Control for Mac and Apple TV 1.8


Category: Utilities
Price: $4.99 (iTunes)

Description:

***
Rowmote Pro adds a wireless touchpad and keyboard - complete with landscape mode, two finger scrolling and right clicking, dragging, accented / extended character support, and more - to the clean and powerful remote control of Rowmote!
***

You love the remote control which came with your Mac - so simple yet elegant, with easy control of Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more.

Or, your Mac didn’t come with a remote control or doesn’t even have an infrared port. The Apple Remote would cost $20; a third party infrared receiver would be even more. Add ANOTHER device and another $30 or more for a wireless keyboard and mouse!

You carry your iPhone or iPod Touch wherever you go... so why should you carry a second device just to control your computer? Furthermore, why should you need line-of-sight to do so?

Enter Rowmote Pro! Rowmote Pro is like your Mac or Apple TV’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! Trackpad and keyboard give you complete control over your computer, and you can control, launch, and quit apps, toggle the iTunes Visualizer, and more without ever having to squint at your screen.

FEATURES

- Control your Mac or Apple TV completely over a wireless network. No line of sight necessary.

- Functions just like the hardware Apple Remote Control in:
• Front Row
• Airfoil Video
• Apple TV!
• Boxee
• DVD Player
• iPhoto
• iTunes
• Keynote ‘08 and ‘09
• Last.fm
• Microsoft Powerpoint 2004 and 2008
• Quicktime
• PandoraJam
• Plex
• Skim
• Spotify
• VLC
• xbmc (XBox Media Center)
• eyeTV (Work in progress: Currently can change channels and adjust volume)

*** PRO CONTROL: A single tap switches to the keyboard & trackpad mode - or turn on ‘Landscape-only Mode’ and switch by rotating the device.
- A quick shake hides for full screen mousing or shows it again.
- Control in portrait or landscape mode.
- Like a laptop trackpad, scroll with two fingers, right click, and drag.
- Tap anywhere, or use the virtual trackpad button.
- Type on your computer, including extended characters.

- SWITCH: Apps Remote allows switching to controllable applications on the Mac, toggling iTunes visualizer and coverflow, and toggling fullscreen mode in many applications (remote features worth the price of admission alone). The order is customizable, and you can turn on or off display of any controllable app.

- Click-and-hold works just like on the physical remote in applications; for example, holding the right button fast-forwards, while a single click is ‘next’. This is a feature no other iPhone remote control I know of does properly!

- SLEEP AND WAKE: Put your Mac to sleep by pressing and holding the Play button for 3 seconds while controlling any Apple application, just like the hardware remote. Rowmote automatically wakes up sleeping machines which are connected via Ethernet!

- Automatically enables Front Row in Mac OS X 10.4.

- Optional dark interface for reduced glare

- Secure authentication prevents others on your network from controlling your computer

REQUIREMENTS

• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later
• The free Rowmote Helper program, which may be downloaded at www.rowmote.com, must be running on the Mac to be controlled.
• The iPhone or iPod Touch must be on the same wireless network (a computer-to-computer, or ‘Ad Hoc’, network works, as well). If a firewall is enabled, Rowmote Helper must be allowed access or port 5842 must be opened.

Rowmote Pro is the only app you need to control your computer. At $4.99, it is both better and cheaper than the competition. Couple it with Apple’s free Remote app to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo, mobile presentation, or casual video viewing. Download it today!
