Turn on your PC from iPhone — from anywhere in the world. No accounts. It just works. Wake PC lets you control your Windows or Mac computer at home and away. Power on, shut down, change volume or brightness — all from your iPhone. NEW: From Anywhere in the World — Control your powered-on computer over the internet: status, shutdown, sleep, lock and volume — no VPN, no port forwarding, no setup — Wake a powered-off PC remotely: a second powered-on computer with the Agent wakes it from inside your home network — End-to-end encrypted: commands are sealed on your iPhone and can be opened only by your computer Setup in 10 Seconds Install the free Agent on your computer, open the app — it finds your PC on the network automatically. One tap and you are connected. Prefer manual setup? Just enter your PC address — Wake-on-LAN works with no agent at all. See Your PC Live — Online status right on the main screen: green means ready — PC telemetry: CPU, RAM and uptime at a glance (BETA, home network) — Screen preview: peek at your PC display from your phone (BETA, home network) — Volume slider stays in sync with your computer in real time Everywhere on Your iPhone — Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — wake your PC without opening the app — Control Center button (iOS 18) — Apple Watch app — control your PC right from your wrist, now over the internet too — Live Activity — scheduled shutdown countdown on your Lock Screen with a cancel button Works with Siri Say "Hey Siri, turn on my computer" — and it turns on. Create automations with Shortcuts — for example, shut your PC down every night at 11 PM. What You Can Do — Turn on your PC remotely (Wake-on-LAN) — even from the other side of the world, through a second computer at home — Shut down, restart, sleep or hibernate — with confirmation to prevent accidental taps — Schedule a shutdown or restart with a timer — Control volume and mute — Control brightness (Mac) — Lock screen (Mac) — Manage multiple computers Works with Windows and Mac Full support for both platforms. Download the free Wake PC Agent for Windows or Mac at wakepc.app. Remote control over the internet requires Agent 2.9+ (Windows) or 1.3+ (Mac). Make It Yours 21 beautiful themes with rich gradients — including live animated ones: Rainbow, Aurora, Galaxy and more. Choose light or dark appearance independently of your system settings. Liquid Glass design on iOS 26. Privacy No accounts and no data collection. At home, commands go directly from your iPhone to your computer over the local network. Away from home, they travel through our relay end-to-end encrypted: every command is sealed on your iPhone and can be opened only by your computer — the relay just passes sealed envelopes and cannot read them, and nothing is stored. Free vs Premium The free version includes the core feature — turning on your computer — forever. Premium adds shutdown, restart, sleep, volume, brightness, timer, unlimited computers and all themes. Lifetime purchase includes 2 exclusive themes — Midnight and Cyberpunk — not available on other plans.
