Overview and purpose
Power On Lan is a compact iPhone utility created by Alexey Siginur that lets you remotely wake devices on your local network. It’s a fully featured, licensed app in the Utilities & Tools category designed to send Wake-on-LAN wake-up signals from an iPhone or iPod.
What it can wake
- Game consoles, desktop and laptop computers, and some smart TVs
- Other network-connected devices that support Wake-on-LAN
How it works
Power On Lan sends the Wake-on-LAN “magic packet” to a device’s network interface. To use it you simply provide the target device’s MAC address; there’s no need to install companion software on the device you want to wake. The device must have Wake-on-LAN enabled (typically in BIOS/firmware or the device’s network settings) and be reachable on the same local network.
Key features
- No cost and no advertisements or in-app purchases
- Support for both dark and light themes so you can pick a look you prefer
- Ability to store and manage an unlimited number of device entries

User experience and customization
The app focuses on a clean, modern interface that’s simple to navigate. Theme options let you tailor the appearance, and saved device profiles make repeated use quick and convenient.
Price and distribution
Power On Lan is available as a free download and does not require any additional purchases to unlock its features.
