Rowmote lets you seamlessly control audio, video, and presentation applications on your Mac from your iOS device.

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. 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’s 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.

- 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!

- Proximity sensor support to automatically turn the screen off if the device is face-down
- Secure authentication

REQUIREMENTS

• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
• 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.

Rowmote is a steal! 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.

Rowmote App Comments & Reviews

Rowmote Positive Reviews

Good app, has minor glitchesI upgraded to pro within the app, it has some glitches like i can only control my computer volume only when i open chrome or an app it can control from the dashboard, volume buttons used to work well to control the volume so no need to use app interface, that seems not to work in this update, i used to have an issue where it would loose connection/not find my mac, thats good now... i bought app when came out for a 1$ not the price it is today hence why im ok with the issues and quite satisfied..Version: 4.3

Works great on my MacBook Pro !I own a 2012 pro. And I'm using the iPhone 6 as a a remote with the MacBook. This app works great ! Saved myself 20 bucks from not buying an actual remote ! Plus I always have my phone on me so now the remote app is always with me. Plus the rowmote app on the iphone and on the MacBook always stay connected to each other without interfering with anything and it does drain any extra battery from both decides. Highly recommend this app ! Only one buck !.Version: 4.3

Works.It is a functional trackpad and keyboard, developers make it clear what it can and can't do, and the Pro Version to do most of the basic functions you will most likely need. Developer has been pretty up front about it requiring both devices be on wifi, and I personally have never had a problem with this app. I have used it for years on several iphones/ipads and macs, and it works. Thanks!.Version: 4.3

Remote control appThe remote is great the only thing that would make it perfect is to have the ability to rewind just parts of what you are listening too instead of rewinding the entire thing. Is that possible? Add a rewind slider button? 👍☺️👍.Version: 4.3

Little miracleUse with my Mac Mini connected to Samsung TV. Was originally using cheap PC wireless keyboard with trackpad but couldn't zoom, swipe etc. This app allows me to use all of the above. Feels like my MacBook. Much less bulky to use this app on iPhone and iPad compared to a keyboard. Love it!.Version: 4.3

Great app, been using it for yearsI have had this app for several years through different computers and it has consistently worked well. The keyboard and mouse are easy to use. Great functioning!.Version: 4.3

Pro version well worth itIf you’re on your couch and don’t want to use keyboard and mouse, this baby’s the best. And who doesn’t have their phone on them?.Version: 4.3

AmazingI bought the pro version and I can virtually do everything from the phone..Version: 4.3

AmazingThere a lot of apps that try to do this, but this app actually works and is very easy to use. Well worth the $5..Version: 4.3

Simple, easy, perfectSo far everything works fine with my macbook pro and my mac pro. Very useful for iTunes..Version: 4.3

Great appThis was first recommended to me a few years ago by an Apple Store employee. Since then, I've used it daily to control my HTPC (mac + tv). I love this app..Version: 4.3

Works great with my Mac AirNow my Mac is hooked to the TV set all the time and I sit back in my couch! I have full mouse and keyboard control with this app..Version: 4.3

Cool ideaCool idea for an app- requires a software program on the Mac you use it with. But it’s clever and cool- definitely worth trying out..Version: 4.3

Would be great to haveWould be great to have a lock screen widget.Version: 4.3

ResponsiveVery responsive, very handy app. Been using it all the time..Version: 4.3

PerfectDoes exactly what I need it to.Version: 4.3

I never write reviewsTrackpad works GREAT on my 2012 airbook.....Version: 4.3

Works wellI've been using this app since the very first release. It works pretty well as a remote for my Mac Mini that I'm using as a HTPC under my TV. Due to SAF (Spousal Acceptance Factor) the Mini is hidden in a cabinet so the Apple remote doesn't work. With this app I'm able to control my Mac over WiFi I would give it five stars, only I have some vague feelings of frustration when using it. I feel that the developer is too wedded to the idea of emulating the Apple hardware remote on its main screen. That was cool when the app first came out but it's very limiting. Some UX design work on the iOS app could produce something really outstanding. The OS X helper app has everything needed. I also wish the developer could provide a version for older iPhones. I use a decommissioned iPhone 2G for a remote, but can't apply any updates to it since this is iOS 4 or later. The Mac's helper app works with both the old version I have on the old iPhone, and my newer iPhone 4, which is good news..Version: 3.6.7

Very goodIt's very useful.Version: 4.3

Best service, great app, better than buying a remote at an Apple store - hands down.I'd like to first point out, it's not a ripoff for those of you who obviously didn't put anytime into making the application work. Mine didn't work right away because of firewall issues in my apartment building, there could be other issues with your connection too. This is bound to happen since all computers are designed differently and have different personal setting that, chances are, you setup when you got the computer and just simply forgot about - its not a ripoff by any means. I previously had the original "Remote" application that worked for the longest time then with all the new updates, it stopped working this past month so I decided to change to Rowmote - needless to say, best decision I've made. The TECH SUPPORT is the best I've seen with any application and yes, that includes better than the pain in the neck Apple company applications who I can't stand dealing with some of their tech people. I emailed the head support person named Joe that has all his credentials on the website and he literally got back to me 10 minutes later (ok, maybe I got lucky that time but I emailed him again the following week and yet again I got a reply with 20 minutes) - this either tells me they never leave the computer or they got great service. Either way great app - its a must buy!!.Version: 3.6.1

Great program. If planning to upgrade to Pro, read onThis is not clearly explained by the developer or Appl but it turns out that if you Upgrade via the in-app purchase YOU CAN UPGRADE ALL DEVICES at NO extra charge, iTunes will just tell you that you have already purchased that item and will upgrade the app on the additional devices withouth charging again. Only pain is to repeat the process on each device, however this is less work than buying the Pro version on the store and replacing the original one. Problem with this second method is that you have to configure whatever custom settings you have on all the devices and re-pair them with the computers. Also, costs an extra buck. I left the review similar to the original in the hope that it may clarify the situation for others in my same position. Apple TV support takes a bit of work and guts. This is a great app. Highly recommended..Version: 0

Excellent!At the beginning I thought it was missing functions, but upon closernlook an more use I really like it! I will probably upgrade to pro. I take back my last review and give them one more star! Update: did upgrade and I'm pretty happy, works as expected! Good app..Version: 4.3

Swiss Army Remote ControlThis application is terrific, but hasn't reached it's full potential yet. Visual and audible feedback were conspicuously absent from the version I purchased initially. When I `pushed a button' there was no corresponding movement on the Rowmote interface. Audio feedback has been added to the latest update, so when you push a button now, you hear an audible `click'. This was not necessary on the original Apple remote, because when you pressed a physical button it moved. The interface is gorgeous, but is oversimplified for a device capable of doing so much. If visual feedback and possibly a backlit `LCD' display were included in a future release, it would make a terrific application an excellent one..Version: 0

Perfect!!Works perfectly! Just what I needed! A remote to control the volume when I watch movies on my bed! For only $0.99!! It's a steal for sure.Version: 3.6.5

Best simple remoteJust like the apple remote, but also does app-switching, fullscreen toggle, etc. The mac-side helper program is unobtrusive and uses the least memory of all similar programs I've tried. I ran into a couple bugs on my old device running is 3.1.1, but the developer was easy to reach via Twitter and quickly solved the problems! The free version does not offer mouse/keyboard control--if you need those you'll have to get the pro version..Version: 3.6.2

It Rocks!It just rocks!.Version: 3.5.7

Awesome app!!!!!Extremely convenient!.Version: 0

A+++Great app, always works, very easy to set up. Worth every penny :).Version: 0

Pro is well worth it!Great great app. Use it all the time. Great for Plex lovers..Version: 0

Works amazingly and with a gorgeous new interface!Rowmote is a fantastic application! Since MacBooks no longer come with an Apple Remote, this is a necessity for all Mac owners! Rowmote works just as advertised and it now has a gorgeous new interface. Thanks to the developer for a job extremely well done!.Version: 0

Mac Pro Users!Me and my fellow Mac Pro users don't have IR sensors, and therefore have never been able to use Front Row with a remote. Now, not only can I control Front Row from my couch, I can control a bunch of apps, and change music from other rooms (its WIFI !). This simple program just completed my entire setup, I'm in heaven. "Rowmote, you complete me".Version: 0

Works!Lost our remote- thank goodness for this app!.Version: 4.1

Needs wifiOnce your on it through wifi it's BOMB ...Version: 4.1

Awesome appIt is a must have if you own a Mac..Version: 3.9.9

Great appThis app is just what I was looking for..Version: 3.9.9

Best Remote AppThis is certainly the most well designed app for remote controlling OSX. Interface is great and helper/service app you install on the computer is simple and does not require configuration. Certainly a must have for OS X users with an iOS device..Version: 3.9.9

Really well doneI bought this app so I could control Plex on my MacBook Pro as it pushed video through Airplay to my TV. And the remote does this perfectly. Nicely spaced buttons, good design and a satisfying click sound. But then I also found, that with a few buttons, I could also launch or quit Plex and turn on and off Airplay, all from the iPhone. Just a really nicely thought and designed app. Highly recommend. Works well with other applications as well..Version: 3.9.8

Love itIt is amazing, love it. Would love to use a keyboard for the search tho..Version: 3.9.6

Please update for OS X Yosemite!App works great for controlling my iMac from anywhere in the house over wifi..however for those who have updated to OS X Yosemite it has disabled a few features (specifically volume control)...if fixed five stars!.Version: 3.9.5

20$ or a buck ? Easy choiceEasy to use. 5% of the price of the real thing. Win-win. Go for it !.Version: 3.9.4
