About Itsytv macOS

A native macOS menu bar app for controlling your Apple TV. macOS has no built-in Apple TV remote – Itsytv fills the gap: d-pad, keyboard navigation, live text input, now playing, and an app launcher, speaking the same local-network protocol the Siri Remote uses. Free and open source (MIT), installable via Homebrew.
