Hello Hunters! I'm a computer engineering student. A problem that I always face when working from public places is that I'm always worried about my MacBook being stolen if I left it for few minutes. Imagine you're working in a cafe, you get tired and you want to go for a small walk leaving your device... Here comes Unplug Alarm. With this app, you can simply plug your device to power, and activate it. Once someone unplugs it or closes its screen you'll get a notification on your phone alerting you! The app can also play a load siren alarm sound.

@hasan_kassem this definitely addresses a very widespread problem. Great idea! As the app is not free, I'm not able to test so here's a question: what's the average delay time for the alert? It sometimes takes just a few seconds to get your laptop stolen, so I think low latency alert is critical for this app.

@cemre Thanks! You're right it's important to send the notification fast. It's almost instant unless there is a problem with the internet connection.

@hasan_kassem How are you guys currently collecting user feedback? I'd love to talk to someone within your startup about that workflow!

@hasan_kassem does it work if the charger is removed with the lid closed

Looks nice! Did you noticed you have spelled "unbplugged" in the picture at the appstore?

Remember the Macbook Pros from circa 2006 which came with a remote you could lock you laptop with? It was like having a car immobilizer for your laptop. That was cool.

Reminds me of an app from way back when iPhone was just initially released, never thought it was very practical. And I haven't changed my mind since..

It's like MacBook Alarm :) How do you handle the issue with headphones? Thief just plugs them in and walks away

@stojkovic You'll still get a notification.

An interesting extension to this idea could be using location services to notify you if your mac starts moving as well. Similar to find my iphone
