Control My Mac — Public Site
For the current App Store build, code-delivery, subscriber email, APNs setup, testing, and launch checklist, see CONTROL_MY_MAC_OPERATIONS.md.
Static marketing site for Control My Mac — an iPhone app plus a free Mac menu-bar companion that lets you operate your entire Mac with one finger.
This repository contains only the public site, legal pages and public release assets attached through GitHub Releases. It must never contain app source code, signing material, credentials, private configuration or internal project files.
Stack
Plain HTML + CSS + a few lines of vanilla JS. No build step, no frameworks, no external fonts or CDNs. Deployable as-is on Vercel (vercel.json enables cleanUrls, so /start, /one-hand etc. resolve without .html). For local preview: python3 -m http.server from the repo root (the pages use root-relative asset paths).

After every release
Run this after every Mac or iPhone release, then commit and push what it changed (a push to main publishes):
python3 scripts/after-release.py --fix
It compares the site with what is really out (appcast.xml, the newest GitHub release, the live /download.dmg,
Apple's public lookup) and rewrites the press page facts. Without --fix it only reports and exits 1 when
something is stale. Apple's lookup can lag a few hours behind an approval: if it still shows the old iPhone
version, run it again later.
Mac release
| What | Where | How |
|---|
| The DMG | GitHub release vX.Y.Z in this repo, file named ControlMyMac-X.Y.Z.dmg | gh release create (steps in the app repo, native/AppStore/mac-<version>/PUBLISH.md) |
| Update for people who already have the app | appcast.xml, new item on top | by hand from the release's appcast-item.xml |
| Download buttons | nothing | /download.dmg follows the newest GitHub release by itself (cached up to 30 minutes) |
| Press page "Current versions" and the facts file in the press kit zip | press.html, assets/press/control-my-mac-press-kit.zip | after-release.py --fix (never edit press.html by hand) |
The links to v1.2.3 are the last Intel version and stay as they are.
iPhone and iPad release
| What | Where | How |
|---|
| Press page version, date and language list | press.html and the kit zip | after-release.py --fix, once the App Store shows the new version |
| Copy about a feature that changed | the pages that describe it, in every language folder | by hand, then scripts/sync-locales.py |
