A Windows GUI and command-line application for sending Wake-on-LAN magic packets to power on remote machines, plus remote shutdown, sleep, and hibernate control. It includes scheduling, network scanning, packet listening for troubleshooting, and wake-up over the internet via WOLAgent.

Use cases

  • wake up a remote computer with wake-on-lan
  • remotely shut down windows machines on my network
  • schedule wake ups and shutdowns for office PCs
  • scan my network for hosts and MAC addresses
  • troubleshoot why WOL packets aren't arriving
  • wake up computers over the internet

When to choose

  • you need a free GUI tool on Windows to power-manage LAN machines
  • you want scheduling, network scanning, and WOL troubleshooting in one app
  • you manage Windows domain computers and need remote shutdown

When to avoid

  • you need Wake-on-LAN on Linux or macOS natively
  • you want a headless server-side service rather than a desktop app
  • you need actively developed software with fast issue turnaround
