The Mac mini power button is the last thing you can't control remotely.
Now you can.

We're two guys who are genuinely amazed by what the Mac mini can do at its price point. We use them everywhere — racks, AV closets, backstage, conference rooms, our own office. They work great. Until they're off. And there's no way to turn them on remotely.

Wake-on-LAN doesn't exist on Apple Silicon. Smart plugs just cut power, which is a great way to corrupt a drive. SSH is useless when the machine isn't running. So you end up calling someone on-site to press one button, or you just leave it off until you're there. It's a stupid problem, and there was nothing on the market that actually solved it.

We kept running into it. Our clients kept running into it. People in forums kept asking about it. So we stopped complaining and built the solution ourselves.

We created a small hardware device that physically presses the power button when you send a command over your network. No workarounds that risk corrupting your drive.

Your Mac mini slides into WakeOnMAC and stays there — mounted and ready, but easy to remove if you need to. It presses the power button when you tell it to. That's it. No software on the Mac, no cloud, no subscription.

Our Principles

>

Works out of the box

No account creation, no app required. Plug it in and start sending commands. Firmware updates over WiFi when available — no tools needed.

>

No cloud dependency

Your hardware shouldn't stop working because our servers go down. WakeOnMAC runs entirely on your local network and never contacts any external server — not even for time sync.

>

Honest specs

We tell you exactly what it does and doesn't do. No marketing fluff about "AI-powered" anything.

>

Built for real installs

Designed by people who rack-mount Mac minis for a living. Tested in production environments, not just a lab bench.
