About WolLight
WolLight sends Wake-on-LAN magic packets to PCs on the same local network and
keeps a small list of the devices you wake regularly.
Features:
* Wake-on-LAN: sends a standard magic packet as a UDP broadcast on the local
network, with a configurable port.
* Registered devices: save the devices you wake often with a name, MAC address,
broadcast address and port. The list is kept on the device.
* LAN scan: detects the current Wi-Fi subnet and probes addresses in parallel to
list reachable hosts, attempting host-name resolution over NetBIOS and mDNS.
* Online / offline indication: a per-device indicator based on ping results,
refreshed on app start, on return to the foreground and on manual ping. The
state only changes after two consecutive matching results, to reduce false
readings from transient packet loss.
* Ping: sends ten pings at one-second intervals and shows each result plus a
summary.
* Stale-IP recovery: if a Wake-on-LAN or manual ping fails to reach a registered
device's saved IP address, WolLight runs one LAN scan and looks for the same
device by its registered MAC address. If it is found at a different address,
the saved IP address is updated only after you confirm.
Privacy and network behaviour:
* All traffic stays on the local network. Magic packets, pings and host-name
resolution (NetBIOS, mDNS, ARP) are local-network only.
* No account, no cloud sync, no external HTTP services.
* No analytics, telemetry or crash reporting.
* Registered device details are stored only in a local database on the device.
What's new in 1.0.8
- Fixed the boot monitor legend so its markers match the ping cells (check, cross, empty frame). - Removed a stray dot at the right end of the progress bar.
