Rowmote 5.0.1

Rowmote is an iOS application that allows you to effortlessly control audio, video, and presentation programs on your Mac from your iOS device.

The remote control that comes with your Mac is known for its simplicity and elegance, providing easy control over Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more.

However, if your Mac did not come with a remote control or does not have an infrared port, purchasing one from Apple or a third-party can be expensive.

With Rowmote, there is no need for an additional device to control your computer. Simply use your iPhone or iPod Touch that you always carry with you. Additionally, you don't have to worry about line-of-sight limitations.

Rowmote is similar to your Mac's physical remote control but offers even more functionality over a wireless network. By tapping the Apps button, you gain access to bonus features such as switching between controlled programs and toggling the iTunes Visualizer. Rowmote can even wake up sleeping Macs.

FEATURES:

• Control your Mac over a wireless network with no line of sight required.
• Functions just like the hardware Apple Remote Control in various applications including Adobe Lightroom, Airfoil Video, Aperture, DVD Player, Firefox, iTunes, Keynote '08 & later, Microsoft Powerpoint '04 & later, Quicktime, Safari, and more.
• Switch between applications on your Mac's Dock and toggle the iTunes Visualizer.
• Click-and-hold functionality mimics physical remote controls in applications.
• Sleep on demand and automatic wake up of the Mac.
• Pauses music or video automatically when receiving an incoming call on your iPhone.
• Support for proximity sensor to turn off the screen when the device is face-down.
• Secure authentication for peace of mind.
• Optional dark interface for personal preference.
• Connect via WiFi or Bluetooth (Bluetooth requires Personal Hotspot Bluetooth tethering).

REQUIREMENTS:

• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later
• The free Rowmote Helper program must be installed and running on the Mac to be controlled. Download at www.rowmote.com. Certain features may require later versions of Mac OS X.

Rowmote is an incredible value, especially when paired with Apple's free Remote app. Together, they transform your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo systems, mobile presentations, or casual video viewing.
