CONTROL FROMMac

TRAVEL OVERYour local network

REACHYour paired Apple TV

01 / THE IDEA

Keep your hands on the keyboard.

Play, pause, navigate, and type from your Mac. Save your Apple TVs in named groups and switch between them when you need to.

02 / MORE THAN A CLICKER

Control that fits the way you work.

01

Navigate naturally

Directional control, select, back, Home, playback, volume, and sleep—without hunting for the physical remote.

02

Type from your keyboard

When text entry appears on the television, use the keyboard already under your hands on Mac.

03

Keep places organized

Save TVs, arrange them into groups, and move between locations without rebuilding your setup each time.

04

Reach known addresses

Use local discovery when available or connect through a direct IP address or domain name on a network you control.

03 / GET CONNECTED

Same network. One PIN. Ready to control.

  1. 1
    Join the same local network

    Connect your Mac and Apple TV to the same local network. Keep Apple TV awake and allow local network access when macOS asks.

  2. 2
    Pair the device

    Select a discovered TV or enter its reachable address. Confirm the PIN shown by Apple TV when pairing is required.

  3. 3

Reach an authorized display or Apple TV at a remote office without dispatching someone for every button press.

DATA COLLECTION?None.

05 / PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your remote should not report back to us.

No account. No analytics SDK. No advertising. No tracking. Far Fruit does not send your pairing credentials, device addresses, commands, keyboard input, or usage history to Charles Miller IT Consulting, LLC.
