But after culling hundreds of thousands of photos each year, hunching over one for hours at a time was doing my hands, wrists, and posture no favors.
Then it occurred to me: people can comfortably use game controllers for hours. They’re ergonomic, easy to hold in different positions, and packed with buttons that are always within reach. Why couldn’t that same design make professional workflows faster and more comfortable?
That idea became Re-Moter: a Mac app that turns your game controller into a fully customizable shortcut deck.
Lean back. Keep your eyes on your work. Put your most-used commands under your thumbs, and make the tedious parts of your workflow feel a little more like a game.
Re-Moter intercepts input from your gamepad and fires whatever keystroke, combo, or macro you assign — system-wide, in any app.
Rate, flag, pick, and reject in one continuous pass — no reaching for the keyboard, no hunting and pecking, no breaking rhythm. Across thousands of frames, two hands on a gamepad wins every time!
Editing timelines, DAWs, code, presentations, accessibility setups — if it takes a keyboard shortcut, Re-Moter can drive it.
Beta invites are limited. Free to test on macOS 14.6+ while it’s in beta.
