I love "Sofa Control" and I really respect the developer. I believe that it is greater than same kind of other tools.

It would really be nice to see some screen shots of this product. There are none that I can find even on the developer's website.
Don't underestimate the impact of a picture.
Thanks.

'Sofa Control' is just what I wanted to control Powerpoint and Quick Time. It is a 'must have' piece of software for anyone who makes presentations (also a must for 'couch potatoes').
The Apple Remote becomes a six button contextually appropriate remote for many popular applications and it can be edited and adapted for other uses. In a nutshell - you get full control of your Remote.
Mac - Why doesn't this come as standard?

I was a beta tester for this version (2.0), so I saw this app mature nicely. Sofa Control 2.0b offers unique new features over the previous version like Virtual Mouse, newly designed global menus, double pressing that offers new functionaity and a new more user friendly script maker to create your unique scripts. The ability to browse through files and open them on your disk drives gives sofa a clear edge over the rest of the Apple remote apps. Furthermore the developer is friendly, open to suggestions (he has incorporated everything I asked for) and quick to reply and solve any problems.
This beta also has a new script called Sofa Safari that enables you to browse with one apple remote click through sites that are reporting MWSF 2007 live keynote from Steve Jobs. So instant live coverage of 2007 keynote from your Sofa :)

Both thumbs up for this great product.
It is an easy install and all works straight away. Try to hold the menu button ... that's all there is to learn.
Now talking about Flexibility: I am new to the Mac platform, still it was easy for me to customise the behaviour of Sofa Control - I took some of the iTunes behaviour and moved it to the CoverFlow.app behaviour in order to have Pause/Play, Rating and Playlists available there, too. It was easy and works great. My perfect Music-Jukebox!
Also, on the topic of deactivating the screen saver, I emailed the developer and he emailed me back with a version that has this fixed. Great service!
By the way, before buying Sofa Control I also tried out "Remote Buddy" but found it very difficult to navigate. I don't know "mira" but I have seen that it costs more.

The app is not 64-bit yet, hopefully it will be updated soon...
