FAQ

What does Mocha WOL do?

Mocha WOL allows you to power on sleeping Mac or PC computers remotely using your iPhone or iPad. It sends a special UDP data frame to wake up your computer on the network.

How do I wake up a computer on a different network?

To wake a computer from another network (like 3G or a different WiFi), you need to configure your home router to forward the special UDP package used by the app. This ensures the wake-up signal reaches your computer.

Can I manage multiple computers with this app?

Yes, the app can store configurations for up to 30 different computers. This makes it convenient to manage and wake up multiple devices without re-entering their details each time.

Is Mocha WOL free to use?

Based on the provided information, this application is a paid app. There are no mentions of in-app purchases or advertisements, indicating a one-time purchase model.

How does the app detect computers on my network?

The app uses Bonjour and NETBIOS lookup to easily detect local computers on your network. It can also ping your computer to confirm it is ready before attempting to wake it up.
