Rowmote: Remote Control for Mac and Apple TV 1G/2G Screenshots

Description

* Rowmote brings the simplicity and power of the Apple hardware remote, with perfect control of dozens of applications, to your iPhone or iPod Touch! Please read more below 🙂 *

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 didnt come with a remote control or doesnt even have an infrared port. Buying a remote control, from Apple or a third party, would carry a significant cost!

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! Rowmote is like your Mac or Apple TVs remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! By tapping the Apps button, you get bonus abilities, switching between controlled programs, toggling the iTunes Visualizer, and more. Rowmote will even wake sleeping Macs.

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

– SWITCH: Access your Macs Dock, launching & switch between all controllable applications on the Mac, toggle the iTunes visualizer, and more. Order & display customizable.

– 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 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!

– Pause the music or video automatically when you answer a call on your iPhone
– Proximity sensor support to automatically turn the screen off if the device is face-down
– Automatically enables Front Row in Mac OS X 10.4, even if your computer doesnt have an infrared port.
– Secure authentication
– Optional dark interface

REQUIREMENTS

Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later or an unlocked Apple TV.
Mac: The free Rowmote Helper program must be running on the Mac to be controlled. Download at www.rowmote.com. Some features require later versions of Mac OS X.
Apple TV: Apple TV installation requires unlock and installation of the Rowmote Helper plugin. Only 1st and 2ng generation is supported. Please see www.rowmote.com/atv.
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 is a steal! Couple it with Apples free Remote app to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo, mobile presentation, or casual video viewing.

Customer Reviews

Horrible!! (1 star)
I am shocked that apple would allow an app that makes you "jailbreak" your apple tv. Total waste! You can get a free remote from apple in the app store. Wish I had known that before I wasted my money

Use with my ATV (5 stars)
I use Rowmote with my apple TV all the time. Couldn't ask for a better remote. Response time is good and I use it on my iPhone and iPad both, so whatever is close by.

Simple and easy (5 stars)
Easy authentication, universal app, easy to use.
