Clyde

Clyde is here to help you keep your MacBook safe when you're out and about. Since laptops are made to be used in public, they can easily become targets for theft. But don't worry! WithClyde, you can take a step towards securing your device.

How Does Clyde Work?

This handy menu bar app works in a really cool way. When it's on and someone tries to close your MacBook’s lid to snatch it, an alarm blares loudly! The only way to stop that noise is by signing back in. So, if you're worried about leaving your laptop unattended, Clyde has your back!

Using the Security Feature

Need to step away? Just toggle the security feature from the menu bar, and you'll be signed out automatically. Now, make sure you leave the lid open! When you return, all you need to do is sign back in and keep working like nothing happened.

What Happens If Someone Tries to Steal It?

If someone tries to close the lid without signing in first, guess what? The alarm goes off! It's super loud and will definitely get attention, making any thief think twice before trying to take your laptop.

No Accidental Alarms!

One great thing about Clyde is that once you activate it and sign out, there’s no chance of accidentally triggering the alarm when you come back. As long as you sign in before closing the lid again, everything stays quiet.

Loud Alarm Guaranteed!

Even if your volume is low or muted when the alarm goes off, it will blast at maximum volume. So remember: turn down that sound after an alert before watching a video or listening to music!

A Simple Yet Effective Tool

You might think Clyde is just another basic anti-theft app, but its ability to grab attention makes it effective at keeping thieves away from your laptop. Plus, it's lightweight and completely free!
