Six buttons makes for a simple and clean remote, but without mira, the Apple Remote can get a little boring. mira was designed exclusively for the Apple Remote, to take it beyond Front Row and give you personal control over any application.
mira drops right into your System Preferences and provides an easy interface to create and change button settings for all your applications. Settings are made in a familiar Profile fashion, where each profile is based on a selected application. Many profiles for popular programs are already built-in — of course you can change any of them as well as add unlimited of your own. Best of all, you don't have to fiddle around with mira to make it work — it's automatic! Settings are immediately available when using your favorite programs.
mira has a ton of great features:
Unlimited application support — use with any applications you choose
Comes with default profiles/settings for over 20 applications
Supports completely unique button settings per application
No extra files, scripts, modules, plug-ins or SDKs needed!
The mira UI installs as a standard System Preference Pane
Easy to use, clean and intuitive interface design
Built-in Help Tags and detailed Help Book
Built-in Uninstall feature (you won't need it :)
Supports multi-user systems and Fast User Switching

Finally someone has liberated the Apple remote! I've been dying to use the remote with powerpoint, VLC and all the other apps where you really wish you could control the machine from afar. Kudos to the developer! Very clean design in a nice system pref pane, and I like that it's easy to add new profiles.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to your updates!
Pros
-Clean Mac oriented design in system pref pane
-Control any application through keystrokes, applescript, system commands etc.
