Watchmac 1.4.2

Watchmac 1.4.2 is created to helps you stop unwanted access out of the box. Sometimes it is desirable, however, to know when someone tries to circumvent these measures. This is where Watchmac comes into play.

Watchmac monitors your Mac for possible infringements. For instance, when someone tries to unlock your screensaver but fails to enter the correct password, Watchmac will record this event and can even take pictures using the built-in (or an externally connected iSight). Best of all, Watchmac can even send you an email alerting you about the infringement.

And remember: Some intruders are even in the family. Even though you probably wouldn't count your children among them, Watchmac is nevertheless a great tool for detecting when your children don't play by the rules.

Major Features:

1. Notices when someone moves your MacBook, PowerBook or iBook, Watchmac will detect this as well. Or when someone removes the battery from your MacBook, PowerBook or iBook computer … or even when someone unpluggs the power cord – this can be used to stop intruders on Macs that aren’t equipped with a hardware motion sensor!
2. Help you get wise to intruders attemping to guess your password at the lock screen.
3. Alert you at any failed authentication attempt. This should have you covered against most any intrusion attempt.
4. Set and Forget: Watchmac is a set-and-forget solution. Just turn it on and leave the rest to Watchmac. It will inform you as soon as anything happens.
5. A Picture Is Worth- A Thousand Words: Knowing when something potentially dangerous happens is great. But wouldn’t it be even better if you knew what the bad guy looks like? No problem—Watchmac will take pictures using your Mac’s iSight.
6. Ring a Bell: Recording infringements is great. But playing an alert sound will put the bad guy to flight. Watchmac can do just that.
7. Get Alerted Everywhere: Not only does Watchmac record and warn about infrignements locally—you can even have an alert email sent to you. So if your Mac gets stolen you can react immediately.
8. Look Back: Watchmac keeps a history of all infringements that have occured. So you don’t have to react instantly and don’t miss anything either.
9. Fully Configurable: If you wish, you can make Watchmac work just the way you want it to. Choose what infringements Watchmac will observe and how it will handle them. But if you don’t want to, you need not even change preferences once. It just works—out of the box.
10. Full Control: For perfect integration Watchmac supports AppleScript, so your data isn’t locked into Watchmac – after all it’s your data. Watchmac even integrates with the Terminal, so you can control Watchmac from a script. Maybe you want to turn it on and off on a schedule.
