Wakivo adds focused remote power controls and Wake-on-LAN scheduling for Mac without trying to become a full remote-desktop application.

What is Wakivo?
Wakivo is a focused Mac power-control utility. It is built for users who want to lock, sleep, restart or shut down a Mac remotely and wake compatible hardware with a real Wake-on-LAN magic packet.
Power controls without remote desktop
The app is deliberately not a screen-sharing tool. It does not need to become a full remote-desktop environment just to perform a power action. That narrower scope makes the workflow easier to understand and reduces unnecessary complexity.
Wake-on-LAN for the start of your workflow
Wake-on-LAN can be useful when a Mac is located in another room or needs to be available before a work session begins. Wakivo sends the network packet used by compatible systems to wake from a supported low-power state.
Schedules make it more useful
The app can schedule power actions and repeat them daily, on weekdays or weekly. A shutdown and later startup schedule can help a workstation follow a routine without the user manually performing the same action every day.
Safety around destructive actions
Restarting or shutting down a computer can interrupt work, so Wakivo uses a countdown that gives the user time to cancel a mistaken command. That small interaction detail matters in a utility with potentially disruptive actions.
Who is it for?
Wakivo is useful for home-office users, developers, small labs and anyone who maintains a Mac that is not always within arm's reach and wants simple network-based power controls rather than full remote access.
