Step by step

How to fix it: Free Roku Remote App.

Each step takes seconds. No original remote, no pairing code, no account required.

  1. Download Remote for Roku

    Install the free app from the App Store. The core remote — D-Pad, OK, HOME, BACK, volume, and power — is available immediately.

  2. Open it on your Wi-Fi

    Launch the app on the same network as your Roku. It discovers the device over SSDP without any account or sign-in.

  3. Connect with no pairing

    Tap your Roku. ECP needs no code, so the free remote is live the moment you select your device.

  4. Control your Roku

    Navigate, adjust VOL+, VOL-, MUTE, and press POWER. Every command is a direct HTTP request on port 8060 — fast and free.

Common questions

Free Roku Remote App — your questions answered.

Is Remote for Roku actually free to use?
Yes. The core remote — directional pad, OK, HOME, BACK, volume, mute, and power — is free. Commands run directly over your network via ECP, so no subscription is required to control your Roku.
Does the free Roku remote app require an account?
No sign-in is needed to control your Roku. The app talks to the device locally over Wi-Fi on port 8060, so you can connect and start pressing keys right away.
What is the difference between the free and premium features?
The free tier covers full day-to-day control. Premium adds conveniences such as Lock Screen widgets and voice search, but every essential button works without paying.
