A Personal Story

Why I built RokuRemote.

I’m a developer. Most of my day is spent at my desk, surrounded by screens, code, and—more often than not—a Roku TV or two in my office. As my setup grew, so did a very specific, very frustrating problem: **The Remote Hunt.**

Every time I needed to test a channel, adjust the volume, or simply search for a video to watch while I worked, I’d have to stop, dig through my desk, look under my keyboard, or realize the remote was on the other side of the room. It was a productivity killer.

I didn't just want a remote. I wanted an **extension of my workspace.**

Built for Speed

Typing on an on-screen keyboard using arrow keys is, frankly, archaic. As a developer, my hands are already on a keyboard. I created RokuRemote so I could type searches, credentials, and URLs at the speed of thought. No more hunt-and-peck; just seamless input directly from my Windows PC.

Multi-Device Mastery

Managing multiple Rokus shouldn't be a chore. I needed a way to jump between devices instantly without swapping physical remotes. RokuRemote's auto-discovery and quick-switch features were born out of a need to manage an entire ecosystem from a single, centralized hub.

More Than Just a Backup

While RokuRemote solves the "lost remote" problem, it has become something much more for me. It’s part of my daily flow. It's the utility I wish I had years ago—a tool that respects your time and stays out of your way until you need it.

If you value your productivity as much as I do, I think you'll find it indispensable.
