Screenshots
Sofa Control is a desktop program developed by Caseapps that allows you to use your Apple Remote to control various applications and functions on your Mac. With an easy setup and user-friendly interface, Sofa Control amplifies the number of uses for the Apple Remote, making it ideal for presentations and other tasks.
When you start Sofa Control, you are guided through a five-minute tutorial that teaches you how to use the app. It uses AppleScript to control other applications, allowing you to command just about any application with your Apple Remote. Additionally, Sofa Control can turn your Apple Remote into a mouse controller, although the mouse control can be slow.
While Sofa Control offers practical uses such as controlling VLC Player and performing presentations with greater ease, it may not have much practical usage beyond these scenarios. However, it is a well-designed and easy-to-use application that can greatly enhance your experience with the Apple Remote.
