I made WatchDog because I was tired of the little wave of panic every time I had to leave my MacBook on a cafe table to grab a coffee or run to the restroom. Here is how it works. You arm it before you step away. If someone touches or moves your Mac, it sounds a loud alarm and pings your iPhone...

As answered by people managing CloudPloy and WatchDogApp.de.
WatchDogApp.de's answer:
WatchDog is one of the few Mac anti-theft tools that reacts in the moment instead of after the fact. Most options only help you locate your Mac once it is already gone. WatchDog sounds a loud alarm and pings your iPhone the instant someone touches or moves your MacBook, locks the screen, and resists quick shutdown attempts, so a thief gets noticed before they can walk away.
WatchDogApp.de's answer:
Trackers like Find My and Prey are recovery tools that help you chase your Mac after it is stolen. WatchDog is a deterrent. It makes a scene the second someone reaches for your laptop, which is what actually stops a grab in a busy cafe or library. You arm it with a tap, it works offline over Bluetooth, and it never touches your files.
WatchDogApp.de's answer:
People who work on a MacBook in public. Students in libraries, remote workers and freelancers in cafes, and digital nomads in coworking spaces. Anyone who has to leave their laptop on a table to grab a coffee or use the restroom and wants to step away without worrying it gets taken.
WatchDogApp.de's answer:
I work out of cafes and coworking spaces, and I could never relax when I had to leave my MacBook to grab a coffee or use the restroom. Find My only helps after your Mac is already gone. I wanted something that reacts in the moment, so I built WatchDog. You arm it, step away, and if anyone touches your Mac it sets off a loud alarm and pings your phone right away.
WatchDogApp.de's answer:
WatchDog is a native macOS app with a companion app for iPhone. It uses Bluetooth for arming, disarming, and proximity detection, and push notifications to deliver instant alerts to your iPhone.
