About iNet WOL - Wake on Lan
Its outstanding feature is its easiness of usage and the simple setup process.
With iNet WOL you can:
• Wake computer on the local network from sleep
• Wake computer via the internet
• Sleep, shutdown or reboot a computer remotely (Mac OSX only at the moment)
• Add new devices with one touch (need to enter MAC address since iOS 11)
iNet WOL scans the devices connected to your local network and shows them along with their name, IP and vendor at the tip of a button. You do not need to find out the MAC addresses or type them in. Just click on an item in the generated list to add it to your favourites.
Setup and usage:
Start iNet WOL and click on the device you want to wake up. Its that simple.

Decent - WOL doesn’t work, though.
The app, for what it’s worth, is decent. Given remote login capabilities, it can send sleep and shutdown commands… but, at least on Sonoma 14.2.1, waking a sleeping Mac fails. The problem, and the reason I’ll be refunding when the purchase is pending, is that the only other two functions that work require SSH remote login access, and send commands directly to System Events, which is very insecure given it’s not asking for iCloud information, and just the system’s username and password. That’s not a setting I’d like to keep enabled on my personal system. If you need what it offers, it’ll work perfectly for you. If you wanted to have a way to remotely wake up your Mac without hitting your keyboard, maybe skip this one.

Wake Won’t Work
I can make my Mac lie down (sleep) and play dead (shutdown), but it seems to hate waking up just as much as me.
