Quick start > **If RemSound won't start** — if Windows says it needs “.NET” — RemSound runs on the **Microsoft .NET 10 Desktop Runtime**. Most up-to-date Windows machines already have it; if yours doesn't, open the **Install Scripts** folder sitting next to `RemSound.exe` and double-click **Install .NET for RemSound.cmd**. It fetches and installs it for you (using winget, the Windows package manager), and then RemSound will start. There's a `.ps1` version in the same folder for PowerShell users. If you'd rather do it by hand, the script opens Microsoft's download page, where you pick “.NET Desktop Runtime” for “x64”. diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 70512f5..eb7643f 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -59,6 +59,12 @@ There's a companion **Android receiver**, so a phone or tablet can pick up RemSo **Get it:** [RemSound Android — Releases](https://github.com/aryanchoudharypro/RemSoundAndroid/releases) — download the latest `app-release.apk`. +## RemSound on iOS + +There's also a companion app for **iPhone and iPad**, currently in beta on Apple's **TestFlight**.
