Remolo Helper
A small helper in the menu bar. It takes commands from your iPhone and carries them out on the Mac: moves the cursor, presses keys, controls playback. Buttons, chain recording, access from anywhere and guest links live here too. Any Mac works — MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio or Mac Pro, even one without its own trackpad.

What the Helper does
At home it talks to your phone directly. With access from anywhere on, it keeps a connection to the Remolo relay, which only passes encrypted data. It sends crash reports only if you allow it. It listens only to phones you give access — with a code or a one-time link.
Runs commands. Cursor, keys, gestures, slides and playback — from the phone, at home or over the internet.
Button editor. The same buttons as on your phone — set them up with a mouse. Chain recording is in Pro.
Access from anywhere. The 🌐 switch in the menu turns on control from any network, and “iPhone not nearby” and “Guest access” make one-time links. Remote control and guests are in Pro.
Pause and devices. One button turns off control and the Mac’s screen, and the phone shows it. Forget any phone.
