  Kinda cool - Sentry mode for your mac. I'd say the use-case is a bit weird, though, since you should just lock the darn machine and no longer need this, but, if, for some reason you need to leave your machine unlocked (don't get why, though), I can see the benefit of this

  I understand that the objective is to, pardon the language, detect the "creeps", but somehow the app itself feels creepy, too :/ Somehow I wouldn't feel comfortable even installing it. Not to mention my own privacy concerns.

  Surprised no one is commenting on the fantastic design. Looked at the hero, within 2 seconds, I understood what you do. Nice work.

  I'm a PC/Android guy but I'd love an app like this! I have kids but i don't want to always have to input a pin whenever i step away from the computer in my own home. They can use it when i say it's okay but I don't like them hopping on when I'm out (and watching Youtube videos instead of doing their homework)

  My question is , does it actually keep the camera turned on Always??? And check against facial biometrics? Else how does it differentiate between the user and some random guy . Just a doubt and i hope its not what i think.

  Nice idea.> Real-time remote alerts are available via one-time $4.99 lifetime purchase via the free companion iPhone/iPad app, Pushover, ntfy, Telegram or a webhook.Instead of making users download 2 apps (one on the Mac and one on the iPhone), you should instead consider sending the alert by email (through Mail extensions) and / or iMessage (iMessage Extensions) - you can still charge for it.

  This is so weird.Like, ...Lock your laptop when you stand up??Why would anyone know your password? If they do, change it.This advice is available for the low low price of $4.99/month.

  I look forward to a barrage of alerts with cat pictures.

  How frequently does it take a photograph? How do you identify if someone else is using my mac. Although it sounds interesting, I'm a bit skeptical

  > whether you left it unlocked or they know your passwordthis is why mandatory security training is a thing.protip: a habit of locking your doors is cheaper and more effective than cameras inside your house, too.
