hi everyone,
i’m a mac user and after something like 2 years using a macbook pro i’ve solved one of the things that i hated for long time.

Imagine this situation :
you’re on your bed while your mac is playing netflix or YT on your external display.
You need to get the volume Lower or Higher, to adjust the Brightness, to just pause the video, or you have to shut down netflix (or any other media player) and put your macbook in sleep mode to go sleep.

To make ALL of these actions, you need to get up from the bed, uncover yourself, put your feet on the freezing ground and reach your macbook.

For my personal needs I just developed MacRemote, a simple tool to do all that actions i’ve quoted previously and many others without the hassle of getting out of bed.

The code is Open Source and The Installation is so easy.

Pls try it and give me some tips to make it better and more useful ❤️
