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.
