With Off, you can control your computers remotely, from anywhere in the world. Off has several commands it can trigger on your computers, including: - Wake Up (Wake-on-LAN) - Shutdown - Restart - Sleep - Hibernate - Lock - Keep Awake - Display Message - Media keys: play, pause, skip and volume It works with any Windows PC, Mac or Linux PC. It doesn't require any complex setup or configuration; anyone can use it. Just scan the QR code the Off Helper shows on your computer. Off has widgets for your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Control Center. See your computer's battery life and power status at a glance, or shut it down, wake it up or skip a track without opening the app. Schedule your computer to shut down, restart or sleep at a set time, and follow the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with Live Activities. If you've got kids, you can use this to limit how long they're spending on their computers by turning them off when it's time for bed. Off keeps a status report of when each computer was on, asleep or off, so you can see how it's being used. Off is integrated into Siri. You can create voice commands like "Hey Siri, switch off my computer" or "Hey Siri, wake up my Mac". Off is fully compatible with Apple's Shortcuts app. With this, you can design your own automation routines that combine Off's ability to control your computers with any other action available through Shortcuts. For example, you could create a 'Finished Work' routine that turns off your office lights and shuts down your computer at the same time. Off comes with an Apple Watch app. With just a tap on your wrist, you can control the computers in your home. With Off, you'll be able to save money on your electricity because it'll be effortless to shut down your power-hungry machines. If you stream media from your computer, Off is invaluable as it lets you control playback and fix problems by restarting without even getting up. Off is secure: if you want to set a password to stop unwanted access, you can. Off requires the free Off Helper application to be installed on any computer you wish to control. It's available from www.bridgetech.io Off is compatible with: Windows 10 and 11 (32-bit and 64-bit) macOS 13 (Ventura) and later Ubuntu Raspberry Pi OS Full Terms and Conditions: http://bit.ly/2KylV0Y

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wake PC at none against Off's shown. Wake PC also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 52%). Off's advantage is ratings volume (498 vs 12) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Off sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Wake PC sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Off holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Off has 498 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Off's written reviews are positive against 84% of Wake PC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Off ships an update fortnightly, Wake PC weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
