iRed2 - Remotes for the rest of us

Not only Front Row, but also iTunes, PowerPoint (tm), Keynote, QuickTime Player, VLC Player, ...

You might not know that every Apple Remote is different, but iRed can distinguish up to 256 different Apple Remotes. You can dedicate one Apple Remote to iTunes, another one to iPhoto. You don't need to buy hundreds of these - any programmable remote may learn Apple Remote codes.

iRed was built with infrared in mind. In conjunction with a device like the IRTrans USB or LAN module, you can transmit IR codes to your devices. While sitting at your Mac, you can control your amplifier or switch channels on your satellite receiver with one click. With iRed's trigger features, it is even possible to use system-wide shortcuts, or you can use iRed's built-in timers for scheduled recordings!

Everything which can be controlled from the Mac, is now at your fingertips on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Control your HiFi/video devices, do your PowerPoint presentation, even send your Mac to sleep, all remotely from the sofa in your local WLAN or on-the-go via the Internet! No need for "jailbreaking" the iPhone, because the built-in Mobile Safari is enough to talk to iRed.

A native iPhone application is available from the App Store, too! It's called iRedTouch.

If you want to control your TV, audio, DVD, ..., an infrared (IR) module is required. 

iRed was initially built for the IRTrans transceivers. These are available as USB or LAN modules, are small and have a sleek design. The infrared capabilities are very good, they can learn and transmit about every IR code. 

Support for Global Caché's GC-100 and their brand new iTach is on the way.

iRed2 is shareware and costs $15 / 10 Euro (+VAT), respectively. Licenses may be purchased securely via Kagi within minutes.

If you want to add an IRTrans module, there is an additional license fee of $20 / 15 Euro (+VAT) per module. However, if you purchase an IRTrans, you'll get both licenses for free. Please ask for the Mac version when ordering an IRTrans from IRTrans GmbH.

iRed 2 requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). It does not run on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

Snow Leopard (10.6)? Yes, it looks like is runs without problems. However, if you have switched on "Debug Mode" before, the app will crash. Please contact me for instructions how to solve this. An update is on the way.
