Free Mac anti-theft app for MacBook

Protect your MacBook—and everything around it.

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.

Free protection that stays useful. Movement, power, offline alerts, the local alarm, and notifications are ready whenever you need them.

A fuller view when you want it. AI Watchdog can monitor belongings in the frame, while encrypted video lets you look in yourself.

A ten-second habit

Set it down. Point the camera. Start protection.

Nothing new to carry. No security cable to unpack. Use the MacBook and Apple device you already have.

    Keep the other device

    Take your iPhone, iPad, or another linked Mac. That is where the alert—and the live view—meets you.

Two layers, working together

The Mac watches itself. The camera watches the rest.

Stealward combines signals from the device with an understanding of the scene around it.

Device signals

It notices the grab before the Mac disappears.

If something changes, the Mac sounds a loud alarm and the Apple device you carry gets the message.

Camera intelligence

From alert to understanding

Know what happened. See what is happening.

A basic alarm tells you that something moved. Stealward also reaches the device in your hand, then gives you a private view of the scene.

A little more peace of mind

“You should not have to ask a stranger to watch your things every time you leave the table.”

Order coffee. Take a call. Step away for a few minutes. Stealward keeps watch so you do not have to keep looking back.

A strong deterrent and immediate alert system—not an unbreakable physical lock.
