Are there tricks or apps I’m missing that could make this way easier without hunting down that tiny gadget every time?

I downloaded a couple of apps that basically let my phone act like a remote, and even powered the TV on without digging for the physical one. If you want a peek at how it works, you could Use iPhone as Roku Remote . I was surprised at how simple it made my evening—felt almost like magic just tapping my screen instead of reaching under cushions.
