Apple TV Siri Remote can connect to your Mac via Bluetooth, but if you don’t have the SiriMote application, all you can do is test the Apple TV application in Xcode Simulator. SiriMote Allows you to use the device to control any macOS application that responds to media keys.

Pair Apple TV Siri Remote with Mac using Bluetooth receiver

In the main SiriMote window, you can get detailed instructions on how to connect the Apple TV Siri Remote device to your Mac. In short, navigate to the “System Preferences” Bluetooth panel, press and hold the “Menu” and “Volume Up” buttons on the Apple TV Siri Remote device for 5 seconds, and then click the “Pair” button on your computer.

Please note that your Apple TV must be turned off and unplugged. To use the remote control with Apple TV again, you must first delete the device from the list of Bluetooth devices paired with your Mac, and then perform the pairing process with Apple TV again.

SiriMote is designed to convert commands received from Apple TV Siri Remote into keyboard events. Therefore, you can use it to control any macOS application that supports media keys, such as iTunes, Keynote, QuickTime Player, VLC Player, etc. In addition, you can also adjust the volume of the system.

Use Apple TV Siri Remote to control macOS application

Press the button on the Apple TV Siri Remote while using the media player, you can start or pause playback, adjust the volume, skip to the previous or next track, rewind or fast forward a track or video. If you use the remote control via Keynote, you can go to the next or previous slide.

All in all, SiriMote provides you with the possibility of using Apple TV Siri Remote to control various macOS applications, but remember that you need to re-pair the device to use it with Apple TV again.
