## What it is
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
