ABOUT MACSHIELD

OUR APPROACH

Protection that fits your routine.

Simple to arm.

A menu-bar control keeps protection close. Choose your triggers, arm MacShield, and get on with your day.

Designed to draw attention.

An audible alarm and visible warning help make a disturbance harder to ignore. MacShield is a deterrent, not a physical lock.

Connected when it matters.

The iPhone companion brings remote controls, recent alarm activity and supported recordings together.

Built for MacBook owners

MacShield started with a pretty ordinary moment.


I was studying with a friend when he asked me to watch his MacBook while he stepped away.


It made me wonder: why should protecting your laptop depend on someone else?


I wanted to create something simple that gave MacBook owners peace of mind, even when they stepped away.


That idea became MacShield.
