Siri Remote articles on MacRumors.com. Apple senior executive Eddy Cue has confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the company is developing a new Apple TV Remote app with full Siri Remote functionality. The Apple TV brings with it a revamped, Siri-powered remote control to make it easier for you to jump between menus, navigate through content and beat your high score on Crossy Road.With a simple.

The new Apple TV includes a beautiful, redesigned remote with touchpad functionality that allows for incredibly precise controls. In addition to using it on your TV, a new software called SiriMote will allow you to use it to control your Mac too.

How it Works

SiriMote lets you control any applications on Mac that play media, such as iTunes, Spotify, QuickTime, Keynote, Photos (Slideshows), and many more. Unfortunately, it only works with the buttons on the remote ­ the touchpad itself won’t control your Mac. For example, you can click the main button for next track and the Menu button for previous track. Holding these buttons fast forwards and rewinds respectively. And of course the volume up/down buttons and the play/pause button function correctly on Mac.

System Requirements

SiriMote requires a Mac running Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The Mac must also have Bluetooth 4.0. The following models include Bluetooth 4.0:

  • MacBook Pro (2012 or Later)
  • MacBook Air (2011 or Later)
  • iMac (2012 or Later)
  • Mac Pro (2013 or Later)
  • Mac Mini (2011 or Later)

How to Install Siri Remote


First, Click Here to visit the SiriMote website and download the application (it’s free!). Open the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions. You may have to right click the file and click Open if it gives you an unidentified developer error.
Once you’ve installed SiriMote, be sure to unplug your AppleTV to prevent Siri Remote from automatically pairing with it / turning it on.
Next, you’ll need to pair the Siri Remote with your Mac via Bluetooth. Open System Preferences > Bluetooth. On Siri Remote, press and hold the Menu and Volume Up buttons for about 5 seconds. You should see the device appear on the Mac. Click Pair to pair the remote.

Re­-pairing with Apple TV

If you want to pair the Siri Remote with Apple TV again later, you’ll need to unpair it from your Mac by clicking the X next to the remote in System Preferences > Bluetooth. Now plug the Apple TV in again. Siri Remote should automatically re­pair to the TV, but if it doesn’t you can hold the Menu and Volume Up button to pair.

Like Siri on your other Apple devices, Siri on Mac is your intelligent personal assistant, helping you multitask and get things done. For example, while you work on a document, you can ask Siri to send a message to your coworker saying that the document is on the way—without having to stop what you’re doing.

Here are some of the many other things you can ask Siri to do. You can also ask Siri, ”What can you do?”

  • 'Show the PDFs in my Downloads folder.”
  • “How much free space do I have on my Mac?”
  • “Play the top 40 jazz songs.”
  • “What’s the weather in Lake Tahoe?”
  • “Find tweets from José Bautista.”
  • “Search the web for images of the Eiffel Tower.”
  • “Show me all of the files I shared with Cecilia last week.”
  • “FaceTime Victoria.”
  • 'Add Laura to my 10 AM meeting.”
  • “Show my photos from yesterday.”
  • “What time is it in Monterrey, Mexico?”
  • ”Find coffee near me.”
  • Starting with macOS Mojave, you can use Siri to play a sound on a device to help you find it. For example, if you turn on Find My iPhone for your devices, you can ask ”Where's my iPhone?' or ”Where's my Watch?”

Ask Siri

To ask Siri, take any of these actions, then just say what you need:

  • Click in the menu bar, Dock, or Touch Bar.
  • If Siri is already open, click or in the Siri window.
  • Press and hold the Command (⌘) key and Space bar until Siri responds.
  • Say ”Hey Siri” on a Mac that supports 'Hey Siri.' On notebook computers that support this feature, the lid must be open.

If Siri doesn't close automatically, click or swipe right to close.

If Siri doesn't hear or understand you

  • Make sure that you're using macOS Sierra or later.
  • Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then check your microphone selection in Sound preferences or Siri preferences. Or test with a different mic, such as the mic in your AirPods or Apple Earphones. If you're using a Mac mini or Mac Pro, you must connect a mic for Siri to hear you.
  • If Siri seems to hear you but not understand you, make sure that your language and dialect are selected in Siri preferences.
  • If Siri can't connect to the network or asks you to try again in a little while, check your Internet connection.

Ask Siri to find files on your Mac

Siri makes it easy to find files on your Mac, using various criteria. For example, you can ask Siri to ”search for all the documents I opened this month.” Then show ”just the ones titled lesson.”

Keep Siri results where you can find them

You can keep important information provided by Siri right in Notification Center . So you can easily access sports schedules, Twitter feeds, files that are related to your big project, and much more.
