Rokie - Remote for Roku Player

An unofficial Roku remote with local device discovery, a touchpad and direct channel launch.

Our take

Test it on your Roku before buying extras

A large touchpad can be convenient when the physical remote is unavailable.

Keep in mind: Phone and Roku must share Wi-Fi; some channels do not accept the app’s keyboard input.

What you can do

  • Discover Roku devices on local Wi-Fi.
  • Navigate using a touchpad.
  • Launch supported Roku channels.

Good for

  • Roku owners testing a third-party phone remote.

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone expecting an official Roku product or universal text-entry support.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Kraftwerk 9 explicitly states it is not affiliated with Roku.
  • YouTube and Hulu+ are named examples with their own on-screen keyboard limitations.

Privacy & permissions

Local discovery requires access to devices on the shared network. Review optional permissions and the publisher’s privacy notice.
