If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can download Apple free Remote app.

I'm afraid you are in a chicken and egg situation regarding the remote app. You can't use it until you have set up the Apple TV for which you need a remote.

One option which has been suggested by others is to use the ciderTV application for the Mac.
