Description

Rowmote Pro is the ultimate wireless remote, trackpad, and keyboard for Mac. A gorgeous universal app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, with everything from a multitouch trackpad to full extended keyboard support, and with no-configuration control of dozens of the best Mac applications, it is a must-have for any home media center or presentation!
* Rated "Excellent" and one of just 400 apps featured in the WIRED App Guide 2011 *
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 a significant amount. Add ANOTHER hit to your wallet for a wireless control like a keyboard, mouse, or the Apple Magic Trackpad!
You carry your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad 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’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 Music Visualizer, and more without ever having to squint at your screen. Rowmote is Mac-like from the ground up.

Rowmote Pro for Mac Reviews

Very useful application.

LFiremonkey on

Malaysia

It's great to use it to control my Mac from my bed.

Love it

Pwince on

Malaysia

Set the 20 inch imac to a low resolution and you will be able to type and mouse navigate it from afar. Very usefull for simple entertainment from the comfort of a sofa or bed.

Terrible update!

Tripelt on

United States

Everything worked wonderfully until this update! The keyboard is the biggest issue… I go to type on the Rowmote Pro app while working in Microsoft Word on my iMac, but what I type does not show up correctly on my computer. The text bar you have at the top of the Rowmote keyboard seems to take precedence over what I actually want to have show up on my computer and it’s not always what I type. When I hit delete so I can backspace, it deletes more than one letter at a time. if I want to hit “command” M to minimize my window, nothing works… It’s the same for any “command” function I try to do. This app was CRUCIAL to me being efficient as a quadriplegic and now it doesn’t work… WHY did you change it when it was working fine?! PLEASE go back to the previous version until you have all the bugs worked out!

A long awaited update for the iPhone

Finally a much needed update has arrived, especially for the new iPhones. Even though there is still an issue with fn functions not properly displaying in landscape mode. Hopefully a fix will come sooner then later.

Seems Okay, now!

Will have to get used to the new UI layout of this app. After many years of using this app, I miss the old UI layout which I still think was very good, but at least, this app is still back up and working with my old iMac! Thanks for the update and fix!

Ohhhh yeah, copy paste!

AeroD on

United States

Been a long time user, and fan of Rowmote. What puts it over the edge for me though, copy paste?! That said, I'm not sure how secure it is to use this over a network - but it's a daily part of my life for sure.

Years of happy use

This app never fails me. Just migrated to a new Mac Studio and this gem keeps shining. Thank you!

Re 4.2.4

slls9 on

United States

I’ve been using rowmote for many years and it’s never worked quite as it should, I just updated to 4.2.4 and finally it’s working as it should… That is until I restarted my computer, at which point it’s back to its jerky movements old self… oh well maybe the next step date or fix it…. Regardless, still a great app…

The Best Again

Caleb_Reese on

United States

I’ve been using this app since getting my first Mac in 2014. Everything from multitouch controls, to app launching, media remote, and pinch-to-magnify makes this app a must-have for anyone owning a Mac. For the past several years, this app lost the critical functionality to move the magnified screen around via dragging the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. Suddenly after a Rowmote Helper update, that functionality is restored, and I am over the moon to have the full, robust Rowmote back again after so long. Does this app need additional updates? Sure. It’s still not optimized for FaceID phones, and hasn’t seen an iPhone app update for years now. The promise of a “Rowmote 2” by the creator in 2016 ended in radio silence. Still, I love the app for all its benefits and it’s helped me on many late night, bedtime YouTube nights.

Still works after 5+ years of use

Look for some discipline on

United States

Love this app, does exactly what I want. When I’m too lazy to go over to my computer I can remotely sleep it. I can move the mouse. I can control the volume... it’s just works the way I want it to. A few times I’ve had connection problems but that’s been less than 10% of the time.
