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.

Read full description

Bring values from your own JSON feeds to your wrist. Configure up to four named feeds with a URL and JSON key path, then choose a feed for each compatible corner, circular, inline, or rectangular complication on Apple Watch. Display power, temperature, distance, speed, weight, pressure, energy, percentages, numbers, or text. Convert supported units, choose up to four display characters, and customize supported complication rings with fixed or threshold-based colors. Live feeds on iPhone are free. Live readings on Apple Watch and its complications require the Live Feeds Annual auto-renewable subscription. The subscription lasts one year; the localized price is shown before purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled. Restore purchases or manage your subscription from the app. Apple controls complication refresh timing; your selected app interval does not guarantee the same watch-face refresh frequency. Private network feeds require a connection to that network. HTTP and HTTPS are supported. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
