Sofa Control 2.2 Apple Remote Enhancer

6341 Press Release Edited By Applelinks Contributing Editor Charles W. Moore

Apple ships a Remote Control with the Mac. With only six buttons the Apple Remote is the ultimate in simple sophistication.

The standard functionality is limited to controlling just a couple of applications. Sofa Control breaks this limit. With Sofa Control you are able to control any application on your Mac and trigger whatever actions you like. Sofa Control puts you in control.

Out of the box Sofa Control comes with support for a number of applications. Applications like Keynote, Powerpoint, Safari, Preview, Acrobat, VLC, EyeTV, and many more.

Want to give a presentation or use your Mac from the couch?

Sofa Control has extensive support for giving presentations with whatever application you like. Learn more about the unique features for giving presentations.

A specialized user interface with really big fonts brings your favorite applications to your couch. Open movie files in your favorite movie player or just browse the web. Learn more about how Sofa Control can enrich your leisure time.
