Security Concerns

Mac App Store

If you asking yourself why this app is not available through the Mac App Store the answer is: Apple stopped accepting apps that use synthetic events (simulated user input) in 2014. You can read more about this here: https://www.imore.com/mac-app-store-and-trouble-sandboxing

Preferences

Auto-start at login
Enabling this option will launch the app at login
Stop on Fast User Switching
Enabling this will disable the app if you switch to a different account on your Mac
Hide icon on launch
Enabling this will hide the icon when app launches, good if you like your menu bar clean or you installed the app on your friends / children Mac and you want to prank them :)
Require authorization
Enabling this option will ask you every time new device tries to connect to your Mac if you want to allow or deny it's access
This list shows all devices that tried to connect to your Mac, date showing latest connection. Here you can change device authorization status and toggle between to Allow or Deny it's access.
Here you can add your custom actions using Apple Script that will show up in the app. If you want to hide some of the scripts without deleting them entirely - you can uncheck the box next to them.

macOS 10.14 - Mojave

Mojave has introduces a new security model which can cause some issues with how the app works.
Please make sure you have granted Remote for Mac permissions to control your Mac using Apple Events and Accessibility features.
