Apart from pairing the Remote with your Mac to test Apple TV apps running in Xcode’s Simulator, the Remote is not of much use on the Mac.
That's why I created SiriMote (free for Mac) - it enables you to use the Siri Remote with all sorts of applications:
- Control the system volume of your Mac
- iTunes: Launch, Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, Next Track, Previous Track
- Keynote: Next Slide, Previous Slide
- QuickTime Player: Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind
- VLC Player: Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, Next Track, Previous Track
- and more: any app that reacts to the media keys on the Mac's keyboard can be controlled with SiriMote.
I wrote a quick blog post with more details and how it works at https://eternalstorms.wordpress....
