## Control‎ Description
The simplest and fastest way to control media playback, volume, and more on your Mac. Control connects directly over your local network, so you never have to install or run a companion app.

【NEW】Control any app, video, or website with Keyboard controls. Re-arrange your keypad and add the commands (and shortcuts!) that are useful to you. 

Additionally, Control always supports system-level volume controls and *direct* playback controls for the following apps:
• TV.app
• Music.app
• QuickTime Player
• VLC
• IINA
• mpv
• Spotify
• Safari (experimental)

No subscriptions, no payments, no ads, no tracking. Control is privacy-first and doesn't collect any data. It connects directly across your local network, so your information never even touches the internet.

Need more Control? Send a request anytime. I'd love to make the app as useful as possible.

Note: Control’s connection to your Mac is managed via built-in macOS permissions. Once accepted, Control will work forever with no additional setup. It requires being on the same network and enabling Remote Access. Some VPN clients may interfere, depending on settings.

Powered by AppleScript.

## Control‎ Reviews in United States

### ***** "Safari Web Media control finally here!"
I want to give a huge shout-out to the developer. I decided to download this app one day when I asked Gemini for a native iPhone app that could control my Mac while playing media on the web. At the time, there was nothing native to Apple; everything required a third-party download, which I did not like.

Thankfully, Gemini recommended this app and I tried it. Unfortunately, Safari was not supported at the beginning. However, I want to give a big shout-out to the developer for being very responsive to my review and adding a new update to control media playing on Safari rather than just apps on the Mac.

I tested it with a video playing on the web and it worked. I do want to note, though, that it is currently pretty limited. I am only able to use the arrow keys and the spacebar to pause or move forward and back on the video.

I wish there was something like mouse control and volume control, but honestly, this will do. For reference, I am comparing this app to Unified Remote, which I currently use, but that requires a third-party app downloaded on the Mac. Thank you Ryan!
