Your Mac can already 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 will try to unlock your screensaver but fails to enter the correct password, Watchmac will automatically record this event and will even take pictures using the built-in (or an externally connected iSight).

Here are some key features of "Watchmac":

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 seen as anything happens.

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.

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.

Ring a Bell:
· Recording infringements is great. But playing an alert sound will actually put the bad guy on the run in an instant. Watchmac is the one that can do just that.

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.

Full Control:
· 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.

Requirements:

· For taking pictures: Integrated or external iSight (works with MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, as well as with iMac).
· For sudden motion detection: MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or PowerBook G4 (Early 2005) or iBook (Mid 2005).

Limitations:

· 15 days trial period.
