Product Description:

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 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.

What's new in this version:

  • NEW You can now enable an option to send an alert mail when an infringement occurs.
  • NEW You can now copy or drag a camera snapshot from the infringement details to other applications.
  • CHANGED Any preferences affecting Watchmac’s monitoring behaviour are now locked after an infringement has occured. Therefore the (Un)lock History command is now called (Un)lock Watchmac.
  • CHANGED Watchmac will now record authentication failures at the login window (as long as Fast User Switching is enabled in the System Preferences Accounts panel and you aren’t logged out completely).
  • FIXED If you hadn’t changed the alert sound, it wouldn’t play on non-English systems (or on those where the «Purr» sound has a different name).
  • FIXED Watchmac will attempt to keep your login items list (Account preference pane in the System Preferences application) clear of duplicate entries for Watchmac. I. e. if you had Watchmac turned on, then moved the application, it could create a duplicate entry. Other login items (that are not the Watchmac application) are not affected by this change.
