This will of course also work when miniWOL starts automatically when you Mac starts.Automatically send WoL when Mac ResumesThis option, will automatically send a WoL magic packet to this device when your Mac wakes up or Resumes from sleep (assuming you have miniWOL running of course).Advanced optionsNext to the Quit button, you will see a checkbox where you can enable or disable “Show advanced options“.Most user may not have a much use for the advanced options, or will set it only once, and hiding the advanced options will result in a much calmer window to look at.Keep in mind though that advanced options remain active/functioning, even when hidden.Network Device specific Advanced OptionsThe only network device specific advanced option is the option to “Execute script after WoL” which allows a script or applications to be executed after a network device woke up based on a WoL packet being sent by miniWOL.This is how this works:miniWOL send a WoL magic packet to the deviceminiWOL will wait for a bit, max 30 seconds, to see if the device did wake up, based on pinging the deviceIf the device is online, then miniWOL will wait a number of seconds (“Execution delay“) to run the script or application.Keep in mind that usually, a network device has

Waking up devices over the Internet, you will need to do some extra leg work to get everything configured correctly.miniWOLThe intend of miniWOL is to have a small icon in your Mac’s Menubar, so you’re just a click away from sending a Wake-on-LAN magic packet to a defined server. All this without dealing with all the in-depth details. So an easy few clicks and you should be up and running.Download from the App StoreYou can download miniWOL at the Apple App Store.Note that this is the first time that I’m providing an application through the Apple App Store, and not as a download from Tweaking4All.The main reason for this is that this is an exercise for myself to see how complicated it is to place a Lazarus Pascal developed applications in the Apple App Store, and what the implications are for doing so. After all, Apple does have some requirements when it comes to safety, including but not limited to signing applications, setting etitlements, sandboxing etc.An additional reason is to see if this would help me out with my website expenses, since sending me a cup of coffee does not seem to work … at all.Advertisements are kind-a disgusting if you ask me, and have reached an all-time low as well, and referrals isn’t doing much either.Note that I am super grateful for the few folks who did sent me a cup of coffee As a little bonus for the small fee though; the often requested “auto update” is now fully automated (if you were to choose so) as well through the Apple App Store.Versions3.0.0 – Initial Apple App Store releaseFeaturesminiWOL, as compact as it is, still packs a few neat features/options:Automatically start miniWOL when you login to your MacAt miniWOL startup, send WoL packets to devices that you configured as suchWhen your Mac resumes from sleep, send WoL to the devices you’ve set to do soExecute a script or application once a network device successfully woke up through a WoL messageQuit miniWOL right away after sending WoL to devices at startup (and running scripts or applications)Help find the MAC address of a network device based on its IP address, automatically or manuallyTest your WoL configuration before using itDo a PING to one of your devices to make sure the entered IP address can be reachedTest a script before using itUse the default view with just a few options, or the more advanced view with more optionsGetting StartedQuick Start for the impatient (like myself)Adding a network device usually starts with at least these steps:click the Add button,enter the “Menu label” you’d like to see in the drop down menu,Click the Known IPs button, and select the IP address of your device (or enter it manually).Note:The MAC address will be auto detected if you have not changed the default settings. This works when the IP address is in the so called ARP cache of your Mac – typically a device in your local network, that is powered on, and connected to

An active network connection reasonably quick after having received a WoL packet.However, the operating system of that device may need more time to become responsive.As an example:My NAS replies to a ping in a matter of seconds after waking up from sleep, and about 10 seconds more when powering on.The OS however takes a minutes or so when waking up from sleep, and when powering on it even takes several minutes.So this can either be a shell (Terminal) script, or a regular application, which you can select with the Select Script button.The Test Script button allows you to test the script or application, which I strongly do recommend you do.macOS may not permit all possible applications or scripts to run due to sandbox and/or security limitations.General Advanced OptionsAdvanced options does reveal a few advanced settings that affect miniWOL as a whole:“Try auto detect MAC address“, detect MAC address when an IP has been entered“Delete warnings“, show warnings when deleting device from the list“Show use hints“, show those little balloons explaining what certain items do“Notifications“, which makes miniWOL show notificationsManage DevicesIn the list of Network Devices (on the right), you can manage your device.Either Add, Sort, Move them up or down , Delete a selected device or Clear the entire list.Note that instead of removing a device, you can also simply disable them.This way you have the info handy in case you need it in the future.A device can be enabled/disabled using the toggle button, to the left of the device name in the list of Network Devices, or with the checkbox “Enabled” next to the Menu Label in the device details. A disabled device will be ignored in any automatic features, and will not be shown in the menu.Copy Configuration files to other computersTo copy your settings from one Mac to another, we have to keep in mind that the application is distributed through the Apple App Store, and that the application is sandboxed. This means that the settings file can be found in a somewhat awkward location:~/Library/Containers/com.Tweaking4All.miniWOL/Data/Library/Preferences/com.tweaking4all.miniWOL.iniThis location will have been created after you ran miniWOL at least one time on the Mac you’re looking at. So make sure to run miniWOL first.Close the application on both computers and copy this file.Make sure miniWOL is not running when copying the ini file.Uninstalling miniWOLSince this is an Apple App Store application without any weird things, you can simply drag miniWOL to the trashcan.If you want to make sure everything has been removed, make sure to see if this directory i gone as well:1~/Library/Containers/com.Tweaking4All.miniWOL

MiniWOL is a small and efficient macOS application designed to send Wake-on-LAN (WoL) signals, allowing users to remotely power up their network devices over the local network. Tailored for both home and professional environments, miniWOL provides a reliable solution for managing and controlling networked devices with ease. Well … I guess ChatGPT nailed that one pretty good 😊Some may already be familiar with miniWOL, as previous versions have been downloaded approximately 50,000 times by the time that I’m releasing this version.This is now version 3 of miniWOL, which I’m making available only through the Apple App Store as a learning exercise for myself.Obviously this means that this is a macOS only version, completely fine tuned tuned, modified, and sandboxed, for macOS users, and meeting Apple’s security rules.As with pervious miniWOL versions, it boasts an intuitive and straightforward interface, making it easy for users of all technical levels, to setup and wake up their network devices with just a few clicks, straight from the menubar of your Mac.These days where everything has become very expensive, most of us become more and more conscious about the amount of electricity we use. This is where Wake-on-LAN comes in play as quite a few devices that are network connected, can be woken up, or resumed, remotely with the so called “Wake-on-LAN” feature – think of some of the obvious devices like a NAS or server, or printer-servers, but do not forget devices like a regular computer, media players etc. Content Overview1What is Wake-on-LAN ?2Enabling Wake-on-LAN on your Network Device(s)3miniWOLDownload from the App StoreVersionsFeatures4Getting StartedQuick Start for the impatient (like myself)Brief tour with some screenshotsConfigurationAdd a DeviceAutomatically send WoL packetsAdvanced optionsNetwork Device specific Advanced OptionsGeneral Advanced OptionsManage DevicesCopy Configuration files to other computersUninstalling miniWOLWhat is Wake-on-LAN ?Wake-on-LAN, or WoL, is an Ethernet standard that allows you to “wake up” (or even power up) computers or network devices, and is originally intended for use in a local network. Please be aware that sending a WoL over the Internet typically does not work, and keep in mind that not all devices support Wake-on-LAN.WoL is probably most commonly used to wake up a servers, just before access to these machines is needed – for example a media server, which can sleep all day long until you want to watch a movie, or a backup NAS that only needs to be awake when doing an actual backup.There can be several motivations to do this; save on power, save on wear-and-tear of your equipment, keep things cool, etc.WoL also requires the network card of this device to listen to traffic, even when the device is sleeping, in order to detect a “magic packet” being send to the device. While the NIC (network interface controller) is listening, a lot of traffic will pass that might not even be intended for this network connection, so just listening to network traffic would keep your network device awake even when you don’t want it to be awake.Issues with devices that do or do not
