## What is Wake Me Up?

Start your computer remotely by sending a Wake-on-LAN request.

Wake Me Up allows you to manage multiple devices (PC, Mac, NAS, servers, etc.) and wake them up on demand. The app sends a magic Wake-on-LAN network packet which is recognized by your device, and it automatically starts up.

* MULTIPLE DEVICES
Manage multiple devices at once and wake them independently from the app’s main screen. Customize the name, colors, and icons of your devices.

* WIDGETS AND CONTROL CENTER
Add widgets directly to your home screen to wake your devices faster. You can also add widgets on your Mac, your Apple Watch, in the Control Center, as well as on the action button.

* SIRI AND SHORTCUTS
The app integrates with Siri, allowing you to ask it at any time to wake your device. The app also works with Shortcuts for even more control and customization.

* UPDATED FOR LIQUID GLASS
The app has been updated to fully take advantage of the new Liquid Glass design.

Note: Wake-on-LAN is a network protocol supported by most Ethernet cards on the market. Make sure to properly configure your device to enable Wake-on-LAN support (in the BIOS and system settings) and to use the MAC address of your Ethernet card, not the MAC address of your Wi-Fi card. Refer to your device’s documentation for more information.

### 5/5 — Works great for my NAS!

*2026-06-14, version 2.5*

Simple to setup and work on first try!

### 4/5 — Brilliant!

*2026-06-07, version 2.5*

Works with minimal effort and setup. Everything I tried before, said I required managed switch…

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-05-19, version 2.5*

No funny business. Just does what it says it does. I use screenshare to control computers remotely and got tired of roasting my cpu 24/7. So I opened a port on my router and now (thanks to this app) I can wake my computers from sleep while away from home. This review should end here because that’s all you need to know. Ps: super clean interface too

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-17, version 2.5*

Great functionality and UI

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2026-05-14, version 2.5*

Doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Just works

*2026-05-10, version 2.5*

It does exactly what it says; no in-app purchases, no fuss. Great app.

### 5/5 — The easiest setup and works as advertised!

*2026-04-16, version 2.5*

It took me literally less than a minute to set up and test.   Easy to use interface with no fluff/junk. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-04-10, version 2.5*

cheeseburger

### 3/5 — I really want to like it

*2026-04-02, version 2.5*

If it works im sure itd be my only wol app. The access to shortcuts is awesome i can tell. Only issue is i cant even get it to work because the app isnt prompting the “allow access to local network option.” And i cant even manually toggle it in settings because its not an option for this app until it prompts. If this is a known bug i hope its fixed soon!

### 4/5 — It works well, but there is a bug on displaying the window on macOS Tahoe

*2026-03-26, version 2.5*

So long as you have properly configured your PC (not an easy task) this little app works well to remote start it. 

However there is an annoying bug on macOS Tahoe that prevents the app’s window from showing until you click the app icon (on the dock) for the 2nd time. Also the app has no contact information for the developer so the only way to leave feedback is via a review - which seems like review fishing to me…
