How it works
One tap, and it's off
The app sends the command and the Off Helper on the computer carries it out. When you want it back, Off wakes it up again.
- Tap Shutdown, or ask Siri. Off sends it to the computer.
- The Off Helper shuts the computer down, and Off shows it's off.
- Tap Wake and the computer comes back on, using Wake-on-LAN.

What it does
More than an off switch
-
Every command you need
Shut down, restart, sleep, hibernate or lock a computer. Keep it awake while something finishes, or put a message on its screen. -
Wake it up again
Off turns computers back on with Wake-on-LAN, even when you're away from home. The Wake-on-LAN guide shows how to set it up. -
At home or anywhere
Off finds your computers on your Wi-Fi, and reaches them over the internet when you're out. Scan a QR code to link one that's somewhere else. -
Schedules
Shut a computer down at bedtime, or when the film ends. On iPhone a Live Activity counts down on your Lock Screen, with a button to cancel. -
Siri and Shortcuts
Say "Hey Siri, shut down Desktop PC". Add Off to your Shortcuts automations, or put its buttons in Control Center. -
Apple Watch and widgets
Control your computers from your wrist. Widgets show which are on, and their battery, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. -
Know what's on
Get a notification when a computer turns on, goes to sleep or drops offline. The status report shows how long it was on, and what the electricity cost. -
Media controls
Play, pause and skip whatever's playing on the computer, without getting up. -
Yours alone
Give a computer a password so only you can control it. Your computers sync to your other devices through iCloud. -
Windows, Mac and Linux
The free Off Helper runs on Windows PCs, Macs and Linux computers, including a Raspberry Pi.
Free to download
Shutting down is free
Shutdown, Wake and messages are free on every computer, and the Off Helper is always free. For everything else, there are a few ways:
