upsnap is a web application for sending wake-on-LAN commands to devices on a network.
The tool solves the problem of remotely powering on computers without direct physical access or complex network administration. It combines a SvelteKit frontend with a Go backend and uses PocketBase as its database layer. Users can define devices in the system and trigger wake-on-LAN packets through a web interface, making it accessible from any browser on the network.
The project suits small networks or home lab environments where users want a straightforward way to manage device power states without deploying enterprise solutions. It is appropriate for anyone comfortable with self-hosting a web application and who has basic familiarity with network concepts like wake-on-LAN. The stack choice—SvelteKit for the frontend, Go for backend logic, and PocketBase for persistence—indicates a preference for simplicity and minimal operational overhead compared to heavier frameworks.
The codebase shows active maintenance with regular commits addressing bugs and adding features. The project accepts pull requests and responds to issues, indicating openness to community contributions. Development activity demonstrates consistent attention to the tool's core functionality rather than scope expansion.
