CLUSTER REMOTE-APPLE-CODING · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-07-29

Apple remote Mac controllers

This cluster of macOS utilities repurposes Apple's Siri Remote or Apple TV remote as a programmable input device for coding, navigation, dictation, and controlling AI coding agents. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from (only one dated entry before the index start). Traction is led by 'vibe-mote' with 5 stars, while 'vibe-remote' and 'siri-remote-keyboard' have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
