Clyde 2.0 — No more, 'Hey could you watch my stuff, please'

No more asking strangers if they can watch your stuff. Clyde is a menu bar app that lets you alarm your Mac when you go away to do something and if someone tries taking your laptop while you’re gone, it immediately gives you a call on your Apple Watch/Phone.

Hey all! Hope the holidays are treating y'all well. We've all been in a situation where we've had to leave our MacBook in a public place like a coffee shop or library, only to be left feeling anxious about safety and having to ask strangers to watch our device. I’ve attempted to mitigate that through an app that lets you alarm your MacBook when you go away to do something and if someone tries taking your laptop while you’re gone, it gives you a call on your Apple Watch + Phone (Bypassing Do not Disturb as well). You can also configure it to ring a loud alarm while the theft is happening if needed :=) You do not need to download any iPhone app, plus this kicks in before FindMy does anything. Feel free to try out the basic version and if you like it you can purchase the latest version from theclyde.app :) Would love to hear y'alls feedback. PS: Clyde dis-alarms itself when you authenticate yourself as the user while signing in :)
