Duorem

Wake up or shutdown remote computer from your phone/tablet.
New in version 1.2.0
Duorem has been modernized for Android 10 and newer.

- Added system light/dark theme support and an in-app help section.
- Added configurable home-screen widgets with device status updates.
- Added safer SSH host-key verification and encrypted saved credentials.
- Improved LAN discovery, Wake-on-LAN, SSH reliability, and error reporting.
- Added optional NetBIOS and root-assisted MAC address lookup.
The idea behind this app is to provide people who are not very familiar with
computer interfaces a simple and easy way to control a remote computer. Imagine
your grand parent needs a way to power a media server. Quick and efficiently!

The application uses Wake On LAN (WOL) technique to start a remote computer. You
need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and support WOL.
The app can only power off or restart a Linux-based computer. It performs these
actions using secure shell (SSH). Your remote computer must be configured to
enable SSH connections. Username that is used for SSH must have sudo rights.

Note that SSH credentials are stored in application preferences unencrypted!
Anyone with root access can read it.
