WOL

Wake on LAN lets you power on computers, servers, and NAS devices on your local network โ€” directly from your iPhone or iPad. ONE-TAP WAKE Add a machine once (name + MAC address), then tap the power button to send a standard magic packet. The app automatically derives the correct broadcast address from your current network, or you can set one manually. VERIFY THE MACHINE IS ONLINE Optionally configure a verification host (IP + ports like SSH, RDP, SMB) to confirm the machine actually came online after waking. No more guessing โ€” see a clear "Online" or "Failed" status. SMART KEEP-ALIVE (Pro) Keep a machine awake for as long as you need. The adaptive engine checks frequently at first, then gradually widens the interval as the machine proves stable โ€” saving battery and network. If the machine goes back to sleep, it re-wakes automatically. Once it's confidently fully awake, the session stops on its own. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Wake any saved device directly from your Home Screen โ€” no need to open the app. LAN DEVICE DISCOVERY (Pro) Scan your local network with Bonjour to discover devices autg MAC addresses by hand. EVENT LOG & DIAGNOSTICS (Pro) See every packet sent, every host check, and every network change. Know exactly why a machine didn't wake up. VPN & REMOTE NETWORKS Connect to your home network via VPN and wake machines as ifmultiple wake strategies: LAN broadcast, direct unicast, andremote gateway relay. No subscriptions. One-time purchase. Use forever.
