## What is Off Remote Pro?

Off Remote lets you turn off, lock, sleep, log off and restart a PC or Mac directly from your iDevice.

Forgot to turn off the office computer? No need to get up. Want to stop the kid's marathon computer sessions? Do it remotely.

The timer function lets you set Off to trigger up to 24 hours in the future so you can set a computer to automatically turn off after a task such as completing a download or upload or to automatically lock at a certain time to limit a child's screen time.

If you want to know whether the computers in your house are turned off - you can check from your iDevice.

If you use a computer to stream videos or audio to your living room, then you can turn it off when you are finished without getting out of the sofa.

If you forget to turn things off at night then you can turn them off from wherever you are in the house.

It's simple to use. It's very handy. It saves you the effort of walking to your computer!

- Send a message before you turn the computer off 'Go to bed - it's past your bedtime!'

- Automatically discovers your computers in your local network.
- Password protection makes sure that only you can turn off your computers!

“Off is a brilliant yet simple app that allows me to easily control the power state of all the PCs in my house. It also lets me check to make sure that when my daughter assures me she turned her computer off, that she really did.”

“Very simple and easy to setup. When I say simple I didn't have to set anything up. Just install the server and the app picked up my laptop straight away. All the buttons worked, it's amazing. No more having to get out if bed to turn the laptop off for the night.”

'..it's the least you can do for the environment.' App Of My Eye.

“such a simple program yet it's so handy at work and home I use It every day! and it's cool to be able to turn ur pc/mac off from your iPhone or iPod :D”

“We often end up PC's being left on overnight and this app has helped us manage this ... We have several wireless music senders dotted around the house also which feed off the desktop PC in the dining room. I've added iTunes to the startup menu on that PC and can restart the PC using this app ... once restarted I can then switch to my iTunes remote and start listening to my music without having to tramp downstairs.”

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-25, version 5.07*

Unfortunately, I have paid to use this App but it is not working. Disappointed!!

### 5/5 — ващее

*2022-11-01, version 5.07*

### 2/5 — Зря купил.

*2022-10-07, version 5.07*

Думал в платной будет работать пункт блокировка. Не работает тоже. Все работает кроме самого нужного пункта. Заблокировать не получается. Очень надеюсь что будет исправление.

### 4/5 — Ottima e semplice ma...

*2021-03-22, version 5.07*

L’app è semplice e fa quel che dice, non do 5 stelle solo perché lo sviluppatore non ha ancora implementato Siri in modo da poter spegnere con comando vocale tramite shortcut (app comandi) che per me sarebbe il top!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert perfekt! 👌🏻

*2021-02-12, version 5.07*

Seit Jahren mein täglicher Begleiter. Funktioniert immer noch perfekt. Toller Support. 👍🏻

Wäre schön, wenn es für die Apple Watch auch eine App geben würde. Dann könnte das iPhone mal liegen bleiben. 🙏🏻 😉

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-05-18, version 5.01*

Bug at password entry ( on two different mobile) can’t login on pc (detected)even on pro version...

### 5/5 — Sleek, easy to use app!

*2020-04-28, version 5.01*

I’ve tried a few remote PC control apps and they’re all bloated and keep loosing your PC. Then I came across OffRemote, setup is quick and simple, interface is sleek and exactly streamlined, does exactly what I need it to do. I think I’ve been using the app every single day for 18 months now and it’s never broken on me, from opening the app to starting a shutdown timer it’s four taps. So easy to use

### 5/5 — 👍

*2020-04-28, version 5.01*

Ok, this is better! 💪

### 4/5 — Exige un mot de passe

*2020-04-27, version 5.00*

Bonjour
Depuis la version 5.0 l’application exige un mot de passe alors que je n’en ai jamais mis.
Inutilisable du coup 😡
Merci de rectifier au plus vite svp.

### 1/5 — Зачем вы сломали программу?

*2020-04-26, version 5.00*

При включении требует пароль , который я не устанавливал. Восстановление также не работает. Исправьте
