Roly Remote for Roku

How to find a lost Roku remote

Lost the remote in the cushions again? Depending on your Roku, there are a few ways to make it turn up — and your phone works as a stand-in until it does.

Use Find My Remote

Many Roku TVs and players have a Find My Remote feature: press the physical button on the device (often on the side or bottom), and the remote plays a sound so you can follow it. If you have a Voice Remote Pro with hands-free voice on, you can also just say "Hey Roku, where's my remote?"

Meanwhile, use your phone

  1. Open the Roly app on your phone.
  2. Connect to your Roku over the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. Control the TV normally while you hunt for the remote — no rush.

FAQ

Does every Roku have Find My Remote?
No — it's on many Roku TVs and higher-end players, and requires an enhanced/voice remote (not a basic IR one). If yours doesn't have it, the phone app is the quickest fallback.
