history
Project history and usage
ATV Remote is a menubar desktop application that controls Apple TV using on-screen controls and keyboard mappings.
Project history
ATV Desktop Remote was built as a simple desktop and menubar controller for Apple TV. The official project states that it is built using pyatv and packaged as a standalone application with electron-builder.
Adoption history
The maintainer describes it as a personal daily-use project made available for others. Official builds are provided for macOS and Windows, and the README documents Homebrew installation on macOS.
How it is used
On first launch, users pair the application with an Apple TV; multiple devices may be paired. Keyboard keys map to remote actions, long presses are supported, and a global shortcut can open the controller.
Why package nerds care
ATV Remote offers a small, open-source, cross-platform alternative to a physical Apple TV remote and exposes the pyatv ecosystem through an Electron menubar application. Its direct Homebrew Cask installation makes it convenient for Mac package users.
