WOL DualBoot
Menu

Android + local agent

Wake-on-LAN and dual boot without turning it into a technical project.

The agent prepares the computer and shows QR pairing. Android becomes a simple controller to wake the PC, check its status and boot Linux or Windows when the configuration supports it.

What WOL DualBoot does not do

WOL DualBoot is not a remote desktop or a general administration console. It focuses on waking the computer and running a small set of clear actions.

  • Is not a console for typing commands from Android
  • Does not force you to open remote access such as SSH or WinRM
  • Does not store Windows or Linux passwords on the phone
  • Does not change the computer boot setup permanently
  • Does not change BIOS/UEFI: Wake-on-LAN must be enabled once on the computer
  • Does not force OS switching when the boot configuration does not support it

What gets installed

Windows: MSI installer that prepares the service and tray app.

Linux: Debian package that installs the service, tray app and Wake-on-LAN tooling.

Android: daily controller for waking the computer and running the actions the agent makes available.

Next step

Install the agent and pair Android from the tray.

The agent is the piece that prepares the computer. From its tray icon you can review status, generate the QR and make the host ready for the Android app.
