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

“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.”
“..it's the least you can do for the environment.” App Of My Eye.
“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.”
“such a simple program yet it's so handy at work and home I use It every day! and it's cool to be able to turn ur pc/mac off from your iPhone or iPod :D”
“We often end up PC's being left on overnight and this app has helped us manage this ... We have several wireless music senders dotted around the house also which feed off the desktop PC in the dining room. I've added iTunes to the startup menu on that PC and can restart the PC using this app ... once restarted I can then switch to my iTunes remote and start listening to my music without having to tramp downstairs.”

Worked one time
Audiebb
I wanted to have a way to lock my daughter’s computer and decided to give this a try. After using it once, now when I open the app there is a spinning wheel next to the computer mane and when I select it, the page is completely blank. Hard closing the app hasn’t helped. I’ll have to try something else now.
Control your teens screentime!

This app is just what I was searching for to control my 13-year old's screentime. When he will not cease playing when told it's bedtime - Off Remote solves the problem. Likewise when seen playing games during virtual school! Straightforward to install and use. Magic!

I don’t like this app because I do not have a computer to connect this app to so I can not use this app.
Doesn't work
Black Cat
I was ready to buy the full version, but for some reason I manage to make it work few times, it couldn't find my computers all the time probably because of the PC file. I e-mailed the dev. and told me to try the BETA which I did, and made everything unoperational. I might try again in the future because I like this app, (if it's working) but right now, I deleted it.
Totally works!!!
Scorpioajr
It SO works. I even upgraded to the full paid version. I have multiple computers connected to my router, wirelessly and thru the cat5. I couldn't get all my computers to show up on the scan at first either, but it was my own fault!!! If you have a firewall running it will disallow access! You must check your blocked programs list for "bonjour", this service will be caught by all firewalls and is needed for Off to run. As soon as I unblocked Bonjour from all my firewalls, all my computers populated in the scan!! ALSO: don't be afraid to email the author of this app, he is a great guy and helped ne through this whole firewall issue.
Awesome

My husband and I both have this app on our iPods. We have a couple computers on our networks and this is just what I needed. I always stress about if I've turned the computers off or not. I can do it from anywhere I can reach my wifi network. I love it!
Pretty good
