GoatRemote: use Siri Remote with your home theater Mac

Playground

If you have a Mac plugged into your TV for whatever reason, this looks like a cool solution to consider.

GoatRemote lets you use a Siri Remote via Bluetooth, or iPhone app for AI voice commands, direct transcription, trackpad and scrolling. It works offline with a local, albeit large, AI library. I haven't seen a utility quite like this before and thought others here might appreciate it.

I remember a time when remotes shipped with Macs :joy:

Think the only one we're missing is the PowerCD at this point? :slight_smile:

Yeah! PowerCD wasn't a Mac though.

#8

Yeah, was just going for "remotes with an Apple logo on them".

Interesting, TIL that some newer Macs support CEC
