The ability to remotely control your Mac using your iPhone is a feature which you don’t realize you need until you try it out yourself. I mean, I am able to do pretty much everything on my Mac using my iPhone. I can control music playback, change songs, launch, minimize and quit apps, use my iPhone as a trackpad or keyboard, and set system preferences such as volume and brightness, and much more.
To gain the ability to remotely control your Mac using your iPhone or even iPad, you will need to install a remote control app on your iPhone along with its companion Menu bar app on your Mac. With the apps installed, you will be able to easily control your Mac with your iPhone. Here is the step by step guide you need to follow to set everything up:
A zipped file will be dowloaded on your Mac. Double click on the file to extract the package installer and then double click on the installer to initiate installation. Now, just follow the on-screen steps and grant any permissions as necessary.
Similarly, the “Apps” tab is for launching apps and executing actions on them, the “Menu” tab is for executing actions on the app that you are currently using on your Mac, while the “System” tab is for executing system-level tasks.
