Wake sleeping devices that require a broadcast to wake, or that lose their IP when asleep.

Receive Wake-On-Lan (WOL) packets and forward them to a specific IP or broadcast on the subnet to wake other devices.

Useful when a router doesn't allow port forwarding to a broadcast IP and you wish to wake a sleeping device from the internet.

Requires an always-on Android device on the same subnet as the sleeping device, and a port-forwarding rule on the router to route a specific UDP port to the device running this app. The app will then forward or broadcast incoming WOL packets to wake the necessary devices.

The original WOL packet that is sent should contain the MAC address of the sleeping device. Not the device that runs this app.
Allows applications to open network sockets.
Allows applications to access information about networks.
Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting.
