This is the only app I know of that does both wake up and shutdown/sleep/reboot (I think there’s a more expensive one but not the same category and way overkill).Pros:- Great UI layout and options, does the job wellCons:- Crashes on startup most of the time, I think it started happening after I configured a couple of hosts. I tried deleting the hosts, rebooting the phone, still crashes. It’s a minor annoyance since it launches fine the second time. I submitted a bug, no reply yet.- The Magic Packer Server installer is an unsigned app and produces a scary warning when installing on Windows 10. The developer should really sign the app.- Very minor picky: the UI elements are bright blue and the host colour options are a boring palette of pastel colours. Wish the UI was colourless or colour options were consistent with UI. But oh well, it’s still good.If the issues get fixed I would give 5 stars.
Awesome app

Hello! Yes, this bug appeared on its own after the 26.5 update. I fixed it in the latest build, please try the new update.
- Magic Packet is now on Mac: hosts sync via iCloud, with all actions, group commands and Magic Packet Server discovery on your network
- New hosts list style: tiles and a dedicated host screen with availability history. You can switch back to the classic list in Settings
- Group actions: select several hosts and wake, sleep or shut them down at once
- Support for iPhone Duo and landscape orientation on iPhone: the list and host screen adapt to any screen width
- Fixed the host check while editing and made status tracking start faster
If you enjoy the app, I’d greatly appreciate your review!
