For Mac users who want to control music playback from their iOS devices, TodayRemote offers a seamless solution. It allows users to manage music on their Mac directly from the iOS Notification Center. TodayRemote is designed for those who use their Mac for music playback but want the convenience of controlling it from their iPhone or iPad.

Key Features

TodayRemote enables control over various media players on Mac, including iTunes, Spotify, VLC, Beamer, and Vox, through the iOS Notification Center. Devices communicate via Wi-Fi, requiring them to be on the same network. The connection is facilitated by Bonjour, with a web service fallback for unreliable networks.

Supported Devices and Setup

The app supports multiple Mac devices, allowing users to switch between them directly within the Today widget on their iOS device. To use TodayRemote, users need to install the app on both their Mac and iOS devices. The iOS app is added to the Notification Center by editing the widgets and adding TodayRemote.

Pricing and Limitations

While TodayRemote offers a free version that supports iTunes, upgrading to the PRO version ($3) unlocks support for other media players and multiple device connections.
