Mac Roku Remote

RokuRemote Preview

I recently wrote a RokuRemote for Mac. Yes, I know very well that there is an iOS app which most prefer to use since it can be used on your phone. I have that app too. Here is the problem tho, since Lola ate my Roku remote, I often find myself answering a call, saying "Hold on", switching to the Roku app, pausing the show I happen to be binge watching and returning to the call. Since my laptop is always near my, why don't I give myself the option to pause the show then and there. Plus, this has the added benefit of a faster keyboard :)

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Here is a picture of Lola too:

Lola is on the right!

Requirements: Mac OS X running 10.11

  • Binary updated Thu Sep 17 22:02:12 PDT 2015
    • Changed the background color to match Roku's theme
    • Added temp icon
    • Removed menu options that were not relevant and inserted by default

Please let me know if you have issues with it. I have not been able to test the multi Roku feature since I only have one at home!
