About:
Roku Remote Tool is a desktop application designed to streamline the development and testing workflow for Roku channels. It allows developers to simulate remote control inputs, manage device configurations, and debug applications directly from their computer, significantly reducing the need for physical hardware interaction.
Key Features:
  • Virtual remote control with keyboard mapping
  • Multiple device profile management
  • IP address configuration for networked devices
  • Screen capture and logging capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Developing and debugging Roku channels without a physical remote
  • Managing configurations across multiple Roku test devices
Alternatives:
  • Roku ECP API – Direct API access offers more automation but lacks the GUI convenience of the Remote Tool
  • Physical Roku Remote – Hardware remote lacks advanced development features like logging and screen capture
