Unified Remote
Unified Remote is a remote-control application that turns a smartphone into a wireless control interface for a Mac, Windows PC, or Linux computer. It allows users to remotely control a wide range of software including media players (Spotify, iTunes, VLC), presentation tools (PowerPoint, Keynote), streaming services, browsers, and system functions like mouse, keyboard, volume and power controls. The desktop component runs as a server on the computer while the mobile app (available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone) communicates with it over WiFi or Bluetooth. It includes 18 free remotes with additional remotes and features available through in-app purchase. Unified Remote is popular among users who want to control their computer from across a room, during presentations, or while watching media.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear evidence in available sources about whether Unified Remote has shipped a native Apple Silicon build for macOS. The vendor's main download page and macOS-specific tutorials do not specify architecture information. Given that today is May 2026 — more than two years before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — we recommend checking directly with Unified Intents (the developer) to confirm whether a native build is planned or already available. Visit unifiedremote.com/download or contact the vendor to ask about Apple Silicon support. If a native version exists but is not yet prominent on the download page, ask the developer for the direct link. If the vendor has no plans for a native build, plan to migrate your control workflow to an alternative before September 2028, since the Intel-only app will stop launching on that macOS release.
