Contact the Controlly app vendor, and request that they add support for older macOS versions:


https://hugolispector.com/controlly/


Contact info is available at the bottom of the About webpage at that website.


That the app requires features that first arrived with macOS Big Sur would not be a surprise, but the app vendor support folks will know the details here.


The alternative for a Mac that cannot be upgraded to Big Sur is a newer or new Mac.

Catalina 64bit-Only:

Note that macOS 11.1 is Big Sur is 64bit only. So, if the developer has no 64bit version, then that would be a reason as to why to it is not an option. So, ask the Developer if thy have 64bit version.
