Wake it up without getting up.
WakeMATE sends a real Wake-on-LAN signal from your phone over your Wi-Fi, then hands you a trackpad, keyboard, and power switch for your computer the moment it's back online.
iOS & Android app · Windows companion today · not yet on the App Store
Your computer only helps you when it's on.
So it either stays powered on all the time, quietly burning electricity and making noise — or it sleeps, and every file, dev environment, or game session on it stays out of reach until you physically walk over and press the button.
WakeMATE turns it back into a reach, not a room.
Let it sleep or power all the way off. When you need it, open WakeMATE, tap Wake, and a real Wake-on-LAN signal brings it up over your Wi-Fi — no walking over, no always-on power draw, no software left running on a machine that's supposed to be resting.
One list of machines. One remote for all of them.
Save each computer once — WakeMATE remembers its name, MAC address, and network details so waking it later is a single tap.
Every saved machine shows its live status at a glance — online and ready, or asleep and one tap from waking up.
Once it's online, the same screen becomes a trackpad, keyboard, media remote, and power switch.
Four steps, then it's just a tap.
Setup happens once per computer. After that, waking and driving it is as fast as opening the app.
Add your computer
Enter its name and MAC address once, or let WakeMATE scan your Wi-Fi network and fill in the details for you.
Install WakeMATE Companion
A small tray app that sits quietly on the computer you want to reach. Every remote capability is switched off until you turn it on.
Wake it from your phone
Tap Wake and WakeMATE sends a genuine Wake-on-LAN signal over your network — even if the computer is fully powered off.
Take the wheel
Once it's online, move the cursor, type, launch shortcuts, adjust media, or put it back to sleep — all from your phone.
Your phone and your computer, properly introduced.
WakeMATE is really two small apps that pair with each other: one on your phone, one running quietly on the computer you want to reach.
WakeMATE app
Lives on your iPhone or Android phone. Keeps your saved computers, sends the wake signal, and turns into a remote once a machine is online.
WakeMATE Companion
A lightweight tray app for the computer itself. Ships for Windows today, with macOS and Linux support in active development. Every remote capability starts switched off.
Pair with a QR code
Scan the pairing token straight from the Companion's tray menu — no typing long strings by hand.
Find it automatically
WakeMATE can scan your Wi-Fi network for a running Companion and fill in the connection details for you.
Built for the moments you actually need it.
No feature here exists to fill a grid. Each one solves a specific reason your computer wasn't reachable a minute ago.
Real Wake-on-LAN, not a gimmick
A genuine magic-packet wake signal, sent directly from your phone over Wi-Fi — it works even when the computer is completely powered off.
A full remote, not a shortcut
A trackpad-style surface for the mouse, a full keyboard with platform-aware shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and media transport and volume controls.
Power, handled carefully
Sleep, restart, shut down, or log off — every destructive action asks you to confirm first, so nothing happens by accident.
One tap from your Home Screen
iOS Home Screen and Control Center widgets put Wake a single tap away, without even opening the app.
Small moments, solved.
These aren't hypotheticals — they're the reason WakeMATE exists, all happening on the same Wi-Fi network you're already on.
The gaming rig
Wake it from the couch the moment you decide to play, so it's already booted by the time you sit down.
The home workstation
Bring it online from bed before your first call, instead of walking to the office to press one button.
The home server
Keep it powered off between uses and wake it on demand — no fans running around the clock for files you touch twice a week.
The forgotten machine
Remembered you left it on after you'd already sat down with a laptop? Put it back to sleep without getting up.
Your computer stays yours.
WakeMATE doesn't ask for an account and doesn't phone home. It talks to your computer, and only your computer, over the network you already trust.
Off until you say otherwise
Remote access, network discovery, input control, and power actions are all switched off by default on the Companion. You turn on only what you need.
A token, not an account
Every command is authenticated with a pairing token you control — no sign-up, no account, no third-party identity provider.
Built for your own network
WakeMATE is designed to run on trusted devices over your trusted Wi-Fi — the same footing as any smart-home gadget on your network.
Nothing destructive without asking
Restart, shut down, and log-off commands all require a confirmation in the app before they're sent.

Questions, answered plainly.
Does my computer need to already be on for this to work?
No. Waking a computer uses Wake-on-LAN, a real networking feature built into most PCs, which works even when the machine is fully powered off — as long as it's plugged in and Wake-on-LAN is enabled in its network settings.
Does WakeMATE work over the internet, or only at home?
Today, WakeMATE talks to your computer over your own Wi-Fi network, the same way a smart-home device does. Waking or controlling a computer from outside that network isn't supported yet.
What do I actually need to install?
Two things: the WakeMATE app on your phone, and WakeMATE Companion, a small background app on the computer you want to reach. Both need to be set up once before waking works.
Is it safe to leave remote control turned on?
By default, nothing is turned on. You explicitly enable remote access, network discovery, input control, and power actions on the Companion, and a pairing token is required for every command it accepts.
Which computers and phones does WakeMATE support?
The app can wake and control Windows, Mac, or Linux machines, adapting its keyboard shortcuts to match. WakeMATE Companion ships as a polished tray app for Windows today, with macOS and Linux support in active development. The WakeMATE app itself runs on iOS and Android; Home Screen and Control Center wake shortcuts are an iOS-only feature for now.
When can I actually download it?
