Product Description:

Apple ships a Remote Control with any new Mac. The pre-installed functionality is limited to control just a couple of applications. Sofa Control breaks this limit. With Sofa Control you are able to control any application on your Mac and trigger the actions you like. Sofa Control gives the control back to you.

Sofa Control uses AppleScript to control any application installed on your Mac. It's full extendible and adoptable by the end user with their own scripts. Sofa Control provides specially designed "sofa suitable" user interface elements to choose files and to bring up menus. A special application switcher makes it easy to switch between applications.

Sofa Control ships with support for a number of applications like Eye TV, Preview, iTunes, Adobe Reader, Keynote, VLC, Quicktime Player, Powerpoint, NetNewsWire, and more. A download area for new and updated scripts is provided on the products website.

Cool app with features Apple should have built into 10.6!
The app is not 64-bit yet, hopefully it will be updated soon...

Excellent with mac mini home theatre set up. Fills a gap not addressed by Front Row - enables use of DVD Player and VLC for good control of movies and DVDs
