BRS Desktop is a cross-platform Roku device simulator designed for developing, testing, and debugging BrightScript applications without physical Roku hardware. Built around the BrightScript Simulation Engine, it recreates key Roku device behaviors within a desktop environment. Developers can install sideloaded applications through a web-based installer and capture screenshots. Its External Control Protocol services support remote automation and integration with Roku mobile applications. A Telnet-based console provides remote debugging capabilities. The application includes a BrightScript code editor and console for testing scripts. Users can customize display, audio, device identity, captions, and localization settings. It integrates with the Visual Studio Code BrightScript extension and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
