Awake on LAN is a graphical application for keeping a list of computers and waking them remotely using Wake-on-LAN.
Each computer can be saved so that its network details do not need to be entered each time it is required. Machines can be added, edited and removed from the application, with the wake action available directly from the main interface.
The software uses GTK and libadwaita on Linux and keeps its approach deliberately straightforward. It is well suited to users who want a graphical alternative to command-line magic-packet utilities without the additional administration features of a larger self-hosted Wake-on-LAN server.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Save computers that need to be woken regularly.
- Add, edit and remove entries from the device list.
- Send a Wake-on-LAN magic packet with a single action.
- Stores MAC addresses for configured computers.
- Supports hostnames when defining target systems.
- Provides a GTK and libadwaita interface on Linux.
- Designed around a small, focused workflow rather than broader network administration.
- Allows the same collection of frequently used systems to be managed without repeatedly entering networking information.
