The initiative debuts with four in-development apps: Backdrops Studio for customizable backgrounds, Roku Immerse for custom screensavers, Roku Weather, and Roku Stocks. User feedback through Roku Labs will directly influence the future development of these applications. Additionally, Roku is open-sourcing the operating system for its remotes and smart home products, Roku LT OS, providing a free development kit and training resources. AI
