GoatRemote

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 dictation—all processed locally without cloud access.

Voice commands and dictation on macOS

GoatRemote detects whether you’re dictating text or issuing a command. Short phrases like “Open a new tab in Chrome” 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. It’s 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.
