Small, very easy to use, and free application for Windows, macOS and Linux to send Wake On LAN magic packets to network connected device(s) and wake them up without having to touch their power buttons 😊.

    It's fine, but unsupported. Dev has moved on to MiniWOL3 and abandoned Windows and Linux users. You can only get a supported version of this on MacOS now.

I wake up my NAS every three months to backup my regular filer. The filer has daily backup. So the NAS don't has to run all the time ;-))

What is MiniWOL?

miniWOL, a free and easy application (Windows, Linux and MacOS) to send a Wake On LAN to your network device(s), so you can wake them up from your computer. The application tries to make setting things up as easy as possible, with tools like automatically retrieving the needed MAC address (based on IP Address, or devices found in the network). It daily lives in the Systray (Windows), or menubar (macOS), and something comparable like that for certain Linux distros as well.
