We have long been able to trigger processes on remote computers. It is what the World Wide Web is built on for example, and how we login to hugely powerful physical and now virtual devices, to carry out operations. We can also do the same with macOS. I’ve done it in so many ways in the past for my personal setup. Using Hazel and Dropbox to trigger commands via file sync, using browser bookmarks and Keyboard Maestro remote triggers, using remote screen sharing apps like Screens, and even via a home network VPN and connecting at the command line. Those are all still options, but in this post I am going to set out a way that I think is easy to set up and use, such that you will be able to trigger any number of things on your Mac right from your iPhone (or iPad).
