Fixed the app icon appearing too large on macOS 15. Added Better Remote Fidget, a playful 3D remote with working controls, available from the Window menu and Apple TV picker. You can hide its menu entries in Advanced settings. This update also includes Apple TV connection improvements.
Better Remote 1.1.2 adds configurable menu bar “Send Click” actions and improves pairing compatibility with newer Apple TV models and software. The menu bar icon includes four options for primary and secondary clicks. For example, use primary click to toggle play/pause and secondary click to send a click without bringing the main window forward. This update also adds clearer recovery options when pairing stalls and includes additional reliability improvements. —Zac
Better Remote 1.1 introduces redesigned onboarding, configurable menu-bar clicks, a playback-aware play/pause menu-bar icon, updated settings organization, and titlebar improvements for macOS 15 and macOS 26. Build 47 removes the optional Input Monitoring/media-key feature and its permission UI, and includes stability and polish throughout.
New: Dark mode theme is now, well, darker. --Zac
