Setup

Four steps, about two minutes.

  1. 1

    Open Kickback on your Mac

    Drag it to Applications and open it. It walks you through the permissions it needs: Local Network and Bluetooth so remotes can find it, and Accessibility for the trackpad, keyboard and media keys.

  2. 2

    Install the remote

    Scan the code Kickback shows with your phone, or get Kickback Companion from the App Store or Google Play. Open it and your Mac appears in the list.

  3. 3

    Pair with the code

    Tap your Mac, then type the 6-digit code it shows. That is the only time you will need it.

  4. 4

    Add your tiles

    Use Add App, Add Link and Add Shortcut on the launcher, or the Apps tab on your phone.
