VMR Connect is a helper app that simplifies setup and connection for VLC Mobile Remote, a cross-platform remote control application. It acts as a companion utility installed on macOS (and Windows) to streamline the configuration of controlling VLC Media Player from an Android phone or tablet over a local network. While VMR Connect is optional — users can control VLC without installing it — the helper app enables additional features including system power control, mouse and keyboard remote functionality, and works as a remote for Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime and other media services. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
