About:
Remote Wake Up is a macOS utility designed to power on computers over a network using the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) protocol. It provides a user-friendly interface to manage and organize devices, allowing you to wake them with a single click. This tool is ideal for users who need to access remote or powered-down machines without physical access.
Key Features:
  • Simple drag-and-drop interface for adding devices
  • Supports secure on-demand wake-ups via the internet
  • Stores device configurations in a portable format
  • Sends magic packets via UDP to wake target machines
Use Cases:
  • Waking up a home desktop PC from a MacBook while away from home
  • Starting a local development server without needing to walk over to it
  • Managing multiple computers in a small office or lab environment
Alternatives:
  • Wake Me Up – Similar WoL functionality, often compared for ease of use and feature set.
  • Depicus – A classic WoL tool, often requiring more manual configuration than Remote Wake Up.
