Power Remote vs MagicPing

Turn your phone, tablet, Mac, or Windows computer into a secure power console for the devices you own. Power Remote helps you control supported power actions across your trusted LAN or Wi-Fi network with explicit pairing and local encrypted communication. Instead of walking across the room to press a button, use Power Remote to send the command you need: Sleep, Wake, Lock, Restart, Shut Down, Log Out, Display Off, or Keep awake. Wake-on-LAN can wake sleeping computers when the target device and network are configured for WoL. Keep awake includes a timer, so you can prevent sleep for a meeting, transfer, render, download, or remote session, then let the device return to normal automatically. Power Remote is designed for local control, not cloud dependency. Discovery happens on your network, pairing is approved by you, and each paired device can have its own allowed actions. Highlights: - Secure remote control over LAN/Wi-Fi - No internet account required for local power commands - Wake sleeping computers with Wake-on-LAN - Timed Keep awake for temporary no-sleep control - Per-device action permissions - Command history with results and failure reasons - Manual IP add option when discovery is not available For home offices, media rooms, test benches, shared workstations, and personal desktops, Power Remote keeps power actions close at hand.

One tap, and your computer wakes up. MagicPing wakes PCs, Macs, NAS boxes, and servers on your home network via Wake-on-LAN — from your iPhone, your Mac, your Apple TV, and your Apple Watch. And when you're done, MagicPing shuts them down again over SSH. BUILT FOR THE LIVING ROOM The Apple TV launcher starts your gaming PC right from your television — before you stream via Moonlight/Sunshine or Steam Link. MagicPing even shows you when the streaming service is ready to accept connections. YOUR COMPUTERS, EVERYWHERE Enter a computer once and it appears on all your devices: the list syncs through iCloud — no account, no sign-up, no server run by us. WHAT MAGICPING DOES • Wake computers with a magic packet (Wake-on-LAN) • Live status: see who is online — and since when • Shut down over SSH (Linux, macOS, and Windows with OpenSSH) • Apple Watch: wake machines right from your wrist • Apple TV: the fastest way from couch to running gaming PC • Probe port selectable or automatic (Sunshine, RDP, SSH, SMB) • Type MAC addresses without colons — MagicPing formats as you type PRIVATE BY DESIGN MagicPing collects no data. Your computer list lives in your private iCloud; SSH passwords are stored only in the keychain. No ads, no tracking, no accounts. GOOD TO KNOW Wake-on-LAN must be enabled on the target machine (BIOS/UEFI and network adapter). Shutting down requires SSH access to the target. iCloud sync requires a signed-in iCloud account.
