Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing NosyPup.
  1. What makes NosyPup unique?

    NosyPup is a Mac app that watches your room with the built-in webcam and sends a photo plus a 14-second clip to your own Telegram bot when a person appears. Detection runs on the Mac. Alerts go straight from your Mac to Telegram, never through NosyPup servers. No subscription, no audio, no face recognition.

  2. Why should a person choose NosyPup over its competitors?

    • Uses the Mac you already carry, no extra camera hardware
    • Person detection on-device, designed to ignore light and shadow flicker
    • Alerts land in Telegram, where many travelers already are
    • One-time \$29 personal license for up to 2 Macs, with a 14-day refund
    • Your bot key stays in the Mac Keychain; photos and videos never hit NosyPup servers
  3. How would you describe the primary audience of NosyPup?

    People who leave a Mac in a hotel room, Airbnb, or shared office and want a quick heads-up on Telegram if someone walks in. Solo travelers, remote workers, and anyone who wants simple person alerts without a cloud camera subscription.

  4. What's the story behind NosyPup?

    Built after a paranoid night in a hotel room. The laptop was in the room, the city was loud, and existing Mac camera tools felt either heavy, cloud-first, or subscription-based. NosyPup is the small version of that: point the Mac, get a Telegram alert when a person shows up, then go do your thing.

  5. Which are the primary technologies used for building NosyPup?

    • Swift / SwiftUI on macOS
    • On-device person detection
    • Telegram Bot API for alerts
    • Stripe for checkout and license delivery
    • Cloudflare for the website and license API
