SoftWakeOn turns on your computers, servers and NAS from your iPhone or iPad using Wake-on-LAN. One tap and the machine boots, whether you are in the office or away. ONE-TAP WAKE Every computer has its own card with a power button. Tap it and SoftWakeOn sends the magic packet along every possible path: your network's real broadcast address, 255.255.255.255 and the computer's IP, on ports 7 and 9 and with several repetitions, so it gets there the first time. KNOWS WHEN IT IS ON SoftWakeOn checks the status of each computer on your network and, after sending the packet, waits for it to boot and lets you know as soon as it responds. OVER THE INTERNET TOO Enter your public IP or DDNS name and the port forwarded on your router, and wake your office or home computers from anywhere. IPv4, IPv6 and SecureOn passwords are supported. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Use the "Turn on computer" action in the Shortcuts app to build automations — for example, turn on your office PC when you arrive at work. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE • Clear list of computers with custom icons and colors • Search by name, IP or MAC • Automatic MAC address formatting • Clear warnings when Wi-Fi or local network permission is missing • Export and import your list to move it to another device • Built-in guide to set up the BIOS, Windows, Mac and router • Works on iPhone and iPad PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Your computers are stored only on your device. REQUIREMENTS The computer you want to turn on must have Wake-on-LAN enabled in its BIOS/UEFI and network adapter, and is usually connected by cable. The built-in guide walks you through it step by step. Developed by H-Soft, S.L. (Huelva, Spain), makers of business software since 1986.
