HAM Bridge

Control your Mac from just about anything.

HAM Bridge is a robust, small footprint server that lets you easily run AppleScripts, Automator workflows, shell and python scripts on your Mac by sending it a simple HTTP GET request from just about any device. From iOS and Android devices using remote control apps like iRule, Simple Control, and Tasker, to home automation hubs such as SmartThings and Vera… even a web browser.

System Requirements: MacOS Tiger thru Mojave. Please note that HAM Bridge is NOT compatible with Catalina or Big Sur.
