What’s New Version 1.12
• Minor updates for iOS 26 compatibility
Description
The simplest, fastest way to control basic media playback on your Mac. No subscription, payment, or companion app installs needed.
Control currently supports system-level volume controls and basic media controls for the following apps:
• TV.app
• Music.app
• QuickTime Player
• VLC
• IINA
• Spotify
• Safari (experimental)
If you'd like to use Control with an app that isn't on this list, send a request and I'll look into adding it.
Note: Control connects directly to your Mac using built-in permissions. This requires being on the same network and enabling Remote Access.
Powered by AppleScript.
