FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FLORIDA – April 9, 2026 – The developers of QuickRemote for Roku today announced a major architectural update to their native Windows application, bringing Native Private Listening directly to the PC desktop. By leveraging the PC’s existing audio hardware, the update provides a high-performance, professional-grade alternative to expensive physical remotes for a one-time cost of just $1.29.
Where Productivity Meets Entertainment
With Roku surpassing 100 million active households and Windows maintaining a 70% desktop market share, the intersection of these two ecosystems is massive. QuickRemote for Roku targets the estimated 50 million households that navigate both platforms, solving a perennial frustration: the inability to sync TV audio with high-end PC audio setups.
"We are essentially turning your professional workstation into the ultimate Roku command center," says the QuickRemote development team. "Whether you are a remote worker monitoring the news through a headset or a late-night viewer using a studio-grade sound system, this update eliminates the need for extra hardware. It’s about making your existing tech work harder for you."
Key Features of the 2026 Update:
- Native Private Listening: Stream crystal-clear Roku audio directly to PC speakers or headphones with zero latency and no additional dongles.
- The Keyboard Bridge: Eliminate the "hunt-and-peck" frustration of on-screen TV keyboards by using a physical PC keyboard for instant searching and logins.
- Compact Overlay Mode: A streamlined "Mini-Remote" that floats above other Windows apps, allowing for volume and playback control without breaking your workflow.
- Disruptive Pricing: At $1.29 for a lifetime license, the app offers a 95% cost savings compared to the Roku Voice Remote Pro, making premium features accessible to everyone.

QuickRemote for Roku is available immediately via the Microsoft Store for all devices running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
