Off Remote lets you turn off, lock, sleep, log off and restart a PC or Mac directly from your iDevice.

Forgot to turn off the office computer? No need to get up. Want to stop the kid's marathon computer sessions? Do it remotely.

The timer function lets you set Off to trigger up to 24 hours in the future so you can set a computer to automatically turn off after a task such as completing a download or upload or to automatically lock at a certain time to limit a child's screen time.

If you want to know whether the computers in your house are turned off - you can check from your iDevice.

If you use a computer to stream videos or audio to your living room, then you can turn it off when you are finished without getting out of the sofa.

If you forget to turn things off at night then you can turn them off from wherever you are in the house.

It's simple to use. It's very handy. It saves you the effort of walking to your computer!

“Off is a brilliant yet simple app that allows me to easily control the power state of all the PCs in my house. It also lets me check to make sure that when my daughter assures me she turned her computer off, that she really did.”

“Very simple and easy to setup. When I say simple I didn't have to set anything up. Just install the server and the app picked up my laptop straight away. All the buttons worked, it's amazing. No more having to get out if bed to turn the laptop off for the night.”

İt's working!

Does exactly as it says
     
by ††The One And Only Warren Cain†† · December 16, 2013

I don't get the negative reviews on this app. It does exactly as advertised and it's very easy to set up. I'm glad for once an app just works as promised. 5 stars.

Nag Screen Will Not Allow App To Run
     
by kidsncatz · April 23, 2022

It found my desktop computer just fine, but when I chose to turn it off from the iPhone app a NAG screen to buy premium would pop up! If I went to close the nag screen by tapping the X on the top right right of the screen instead of closing the nag screen, it continually popped up. Totally unusable! I was willing to pay the five bucks, but this has left a bad taste in my mouth. Pass. By the way, is it five dollars period or five dollars a month? Anyway, pass.

What a scam

You would expect a $5 app to work. It was working, then stopped working. Won’t connect.

Great

Nice

Does not work with iOS7
     
by Harchan · September 23, 2013

Stopped working since I upgraded my OS to iOS7.

don’t bother it’s paywalled
     
by fluffsie · April 17, 2023

“free”, it’s a massive paywall, you cannot do anything unless you buy the paid subscription, any buttons or clickable icons send you straight too the subscription screen, there isn’t a way too make any function work without that screen, side note, the UI is terrible looking. disappointing.

Amazing app
