Mind you, either a Cloud Key, or run the controller on one of the vendor servers seems better.

I run the controller software on a raspberrypi which also has pi-hole on it.

Google does.

If you have Ubiquiti, you could manage it from a Windows VM on Mac.

If you want full fiddling options the controller runs on pretty much anything Java will run on, including a Mac - I don't tend to leave it running, so I really don't see the need to run it as a service. For SOHO applications they offer both an IOS and Android App:

or

the full controller runs a web server which you then connect to from the web client of your choice, which is probably overkill for domestic settings, but can be hilarious for catching the other half sneaking home from work for lunch while you're remotely fiddling.

Yes it does, I run the server on a Mac mini here. You don't have to run it all the time, you can just fire it up on your laptop to make config changes when you want to.
