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?

Haha gotchu. So as it shows on the website: you toggle it from menu bar and walk away (to order coffee or do your stuff) and if someone closes the lid of your Mac when you’re away, you will get a call on your Apple Watch/Phone.

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!
