There are a few, the sofabaton is probably the closest to the cheaper harmony remotes, but it's configured via an app that requires login so not sure how long that will last.
There are other companies that are targeting the high end remotes too ($300+) but they all appear to be based on android and get very poor battery life.
Sofabaton is also buggy as fuck. Can't for the life of me figure out how to stop the double inputs on roku. Like I'll hit right arrow and it'll often, but not always send multiple and it'll scroll over 2 or 3 times.
Hmmm, I'll have to check them out, thanks.
