Hi HN, I'm working from coffee shops with my laptop and I'm going to the toilet time to time. I was worried that someone can steal my laptop while I'm away. So I built a macOS app. It will detect If someone will disconnect the charger or close the display and the app will sound an alarm and send a push notification to Telegram.

I'm looking forward to visiting South Africa and South America, but that's kinda scary at the same time. A question though: what happens if a thief turns off the macbook sound?

Sounds amazing dude. Does it connect to the gyroscope&#x2F;accelerometer aswell?

btw. why do you need admin rights on first launch - the app should work without as well
