GoatRemote turns an Apple TV Siri Remote or a smartphone into a full controller for macOS. Control your Mac from the couch with trackpad gestures, buttons, voice commands, and text dictationโall processed locally without cloud access.
Voice commands and dictation on macOS
GoatRemote detects whether youโre dictating text or issuing a command. Short phrases like โOpen a new tab in Chromeโ trigger actions in the system, while longer speech is transcribed as text. This helps with navigation, search, and typing without a keyboard.
Siri Remote and phone as a trackpad
The app adds trackpad drivers for Apple Siri Remote and smartphones, enabling cursor movement, scrolling, and basic clicks. Itโs useful for:
- Mac-based home theater setups
- Media centers
- Presentations
Local models and privacy
Voice and command processing runs on your computer. Models are downloaded once and work without cloud requests, reducing latency and keeping voice data off external servers.
