Turn On is a graphical utility for waking devices such as computers, NAS systems and other network hardware using Wake-on-LAN.
The application maintains a list of devices and provides network discovery to make adding machines easier. It can also detect web interfaces offered by systems on the local network and monitor whether configured devices are currently available.
Turn On integrates with the desktop as well as providing its own interface. This makes it possible to wake a configured machine without first opening the application.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Add and manage devices that support Wake-on-LAN.
- Discover devices automatically on the local network.
- Discover web interfaces exposed by network devices.
- Monitor whether configured devices are currently online.

- Exports a KRunner interface for integration with KDE search.
- Provides a command-line interface for waking configured devices.
- Stores information about devices so their MAC addresses do not need to be entered repeatedly.
- Uses a GTK and libadwaita interface designed to fit naturally with modern Linux desktops.
