Remote Buddy 1.25 brings Harmony Smart Control support to 100+ Mac apps - Published on 07/01/14

IOSPIRIT GmbH has released Remote Buddy 1.25, an update to the most powerful remote control solution for the Mac. Version 1.25 introduces support for the Harmony Smart Control, which can now be connected via Bluetooth. More than 100 popular Mac apps supported by Remote Buddy can then be controlled with the same Harmony Smart Remote that already controls other devices like TV sets, beamers, game consoles, the Apple TV and even Philips Hue lights.

Roth, Germany - IOSPIRIT GmbH has released Remote Buddy 1.25, introducing support for the Harmony Smart Control, which can now be connected via Bluetooth. More than 100 popular Mac apps supported by Remote Buddy (including Plex, EyeTV, iTunes, Rdio, Spotify, DVD Player, Mac Blu-Ray Player, iPhoto, Lightroom, XBMC, Movist and VLC) can then be controlled with the same Harmony Smart Remote that already controls other devices like TV sets, beamers, game consoles, the Apple TV and even Philips Hue lights.

Together, Remote Buddy and the Harmony Smart Control form an elegant, powerful solution for the deep integration of a Mac into a home entertainment setup.

Thanks to the use of Bluetooth, the connection between the Mac and the Harmony Smart Control is rock solid, button presses are received almost instantly and no line of sight is needed.

A new how-to (available as a post on the IOSPIRIT Blog) shows the entire setup process and also includes an overview over all needed parts and system requirements.

Other improvements in the new Remote Buddy release - like an up to three times faster launch, support for iTunes Sort and Album Artists - are described in detail in another blog post.

Pricing and Availability:
Remote Buddy 1.25 requires OS X 10.7 or later and is immediately available for 19.99 Euro worldwide from the IOSPIRIT Online Store. A 30 day trial version can be downloaded for free from the IOSPIRIT website.
