Post iPhone Apps to use as HTPC Remote/Keyboard/Mouse here!

[enklined]

I wanted to start a thread where we can discuss nice iPhone apps that we can use as HTPC remotes, keyboards, and/or mice. So, I'll start!

Last night I discovered Rowmote Pro last night! It's an amazing iPhone app that lets you connect to your mac over WiFi (so, no real range restrictions a la 2.4Ghz wireless and bluetooth).

It supports multi-tough gestures such as two finger scrolling, and pinch to zoom in and out (FANTASTIC for using with the HTPC, so you can zoom in on webpages and read content in 1080p!).

It also has an "Applications" screen, which, at the top, shows all of your dock items. For example, mine has Finder, and Plex. I tap plex, boom, plex opens right up. The App's default state if for use as a remote (think: Apple remote), but with a tap of an icon in the top left corner i get full mouse control, and then with either a tab of the keyboard button or a shake of the phone i get a keyboard! While the keyboard is active, you still retain a small area for mousing and multi-gestures (think: MacBook Pro trackpad).

The app is simply amazing. It's $4.99 in the app store.

All of the above said, it's the only app I've tried so far. What are some of the Apps you guys have used?

What are some of the Apps you guys have used?

Here are the free ones I'm using:
- VLCRemFree: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vlc-remo ... d299344206
VLC Remote lets you remotely control your VLC Media Player on your Mac or PC.

- MyMote: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mymote/id284625015
I use this to control my Mac MythTV frontend.

- Remote: http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/
Apple's own iTunes remote control app... Enough said... A must download



I'm also using VLC Streamer Free ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vlc-stre ... d410036516 ). Not really a "remote", but it automatically transcodes and streams my media from VLC to my ipad/iphone... No need for complex conversion processes. No need to manually transfer programs to your device. Really nice app !

Mobile Mouse is fantastic. It is very a full featured and capable app. I've been using it for years. It's so good I haven't even looked for anything else.

Remote HD. $7.99 app, but it does everything. Keyboard, mouse, apple remote, and a handy menu that lets you launch and quit applications remotely, control system volume, and restart/shutdown. I was looking to spend about 40 bucks or so on a nice htpc keyboard/mouse combo, but when I saw this app, I was just blown away. Got it, and never looked back.

I am now looking for a remote for my HThackintosh, looks like Remote HD is a very nice application for my iPad, I think I will give that a try.
