Show HN: Crookcooked – Open-source anti-theft alarm for Mac (crookcooked.github.io)

1 points by tbergkvist ↗ HN
I work from cafés and libraries a lot and hated leaving my MacBook alone for bathroom breaks, so I built crookcooked.

Arm it and the Mac locks. If someone messes with it, it screams, records them, and sends the clip plus a live view to your iPhone. Video is encrypted and sent over local network.

Open source, mostly vibe coded. I find myself using it quite often and thought it could be useful to other people as well!

When I read the title I assumed this was going to be location based. Like if taken outside of some geofence it would go off. Not sure if that's possible?
