"Control any Mac on your network via Indigo!"
Want to dynamically start and stop apps on another computer based on Indigo events? No problem!
Need to run an ApplesScript file sitting on your hard drive? Done.
Want to write an AppleScript from scratch directly in the plugin and run it like you can in Indigo now? Yup.
This release is BETA, so you can only download it via GitHub while it is in BETA, however the original 1.1.0 version is available in the plugin store.

Introduction
Recent activity with the original Mac Commander plugin has inspired me to expand upon the original plugin and make it better. There hasn't been a new release of the Mac Commander since 2016 and while this isn't a ground-up rewrite of the plugin it has been almost completely redone. All of the UI's have been modernized and the original device is still in the plugin so when you upgrade you will retain your old Mac Commander devices.
There have been a few lingering bugs that were never addressed because nobody mentioned them but they are fixed now.
Mac Commander lets you control any Mac on your network as well as lets you run full AppleScript files from within Indigo. Considering that Indigo will soon remove support for native AppleScript, this plugin will allow you to continue using AppleScript regardless of if it is supported in Indigo or not.
