No more asking strangers "Hey could you watch my stuff for a bit" I’ve made 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. 🔗 theclyde.app

Add a remote electrocution feature, and I am sold. I need to finish my business first in the lavatory before I can chase them. Ah, this reminds me of the good ol days finishing my thesis in cafes; I wish this was available then 👍🏻

Haha the electrocution part reminded me of the iPhone 3GS’ aluminum casing frame that often used to electrocute people while charging lol. Lemme know if you have any feedback if you end up checking out the app!

I can only do so far as the free app. I tried to shake my laptop after toggling it, but there was no budge. How's this thing working again?

I conducted 50+ user interviews to try this out and the hypothesis holds true. If you think about it: if you leave your laptop’s lid open in public, the alleged thief will almost always have to close the lid before they leave the building!

and none of the 50+ thought about electrocution? Smh.
