A generous tip. Unlocks colors and icons.

Sick. Exactly what I needed.

I stream news on TV all day when working from home. I always leave my remote someplace where I forget. When phone calls come in and I’m at my desk, I have to quickly mute the TV. Now I don’t have to find my remote and can do it on my computer! This remote works beautifully!

What the Roku App should have been.

Launch your favorite Roku apps with a click; raise, lower and mute the sound (even on a sound bar); shut everything down when it’s time for bed. Can our TV-viewing lives get any better?

How novel, free and functional!

The app works well. It includes no ads, no subscriptions, no one time buy. The app is easy to use. It includes volume controls, which is very nice. The app seems to be very lightweight and so far no buggy behaviors. Excellent work thank you!

It’s really sad that all of these features being free seems to be a novel idea anymore.

It just works

Thank you Scott for this app! My routine on the couch is to switch focus between Roku TV and MacBook. Handy to be able to mute sound or do other stuff without having to reach for physical remote.
