WakeOnCommand
WakeOnCommand is a small macOS utility for sending Wake-on-LAN magic packets to wake compatible computers on your local network.
What is WakeOnCommand?
WakeOnCommand is a native macOS utility that helps users wake sleeping computers by sending Wake-on-LAN magic packets over a local network. It is designed for people who want quick access to a desktop, server, or another Mac or PC without walking over to power it on manually. You can save multiple computers in a list, store their network details for later use, and send wake commands when needed. The app is especially useful for home offices, shared workspaces, and remote-access setups where one machine needs to be available on demand. WakeOnCommand runs on Mac and focuses on a simple interface for entering the required network information and waking supported devices.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
WakeOnCommand is a focused network utility with a narrow purpose: sending Wake-on-LAN packets to devices you choose. That behavior is normal for this type of app. It may store the network details you enter for saved devices, so use accurate information and remove saved entries you no longer need. Keep in mind that waking a computer only works when the target device and network are configured to allow Wake-on-LAN.
Recommendation: Keep WakeOnCommand if you regularly wake another computer on your network from your Mac. If you no longer use Wake-on-LAN, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may lose any saved device entries in the app.
