Free Mac anti-theft app for MacBook
Stealward is a free anti-theft app for Mac and MacBook. Point the camera at the belongings you are leaving behind, arm your Mac, and step away. It watches the device, connection, and scene—then alerts the Apple device in your hand.
Also supports iPhone and iPad—receive alerts and watch live from the Apple device you keep with you.
Monitored

A ten-second habit
