Should be fine - the Commander App (like mine) is built with a system that creates Mac and Windows apps from the same code base.
But do note that you must install the correct serial driver from that page, depending on your version of OS X. The latest versions need a signed driver, and I think the connection will just hang if you try to use the older driver - so if you upgrade your OS, you may also need to update the driver as well.

Hi all. I am having a problem getting connected on a clean install of the latest MacOS, 10.13.2. If I type
or
in the Terminal, I do not see any entries for the FTDI chip in the Commander kit. I only see "Bluetooth-Incoming-Port" under both of those commands. I have downloaded the application "Serial" and it was able to communicate with the 2B, but my understanding is that the application includes its own drivers. I have also downloaded the application CoolTerm, and it uses the drivers on my Mac. It does not see a serial port for the 2B.
I have also tried installing the VCP drivers from FTDI. That also did not work. I uninstalled those drivers after learning that drivers are included from Apple. This definitely appears to be a driver issue. I either need to somehow get the driver Apple has included to work or try something else. Any help is greatly appreciated. I will continue to work towards a solution and post updates here.

That was quick. With only the driver Apple provides, after a reboot I see the serial port for my 2B and remote apps are working correctly. It is possible that an additional reboot was all the I needed. I do not have the VCP driver from FTDI installed. Now when I type
and
I see an entry for my serial adapter.
It seems all that I needed was an additional reboot.
