User Reviews

  • I've used this program for years. But what would be REALLY cool, would be if input could be selected between the built-in isight camera and generic webcams.
  • Awesome! I really just hope that the photo taking will be available to Mac Os 10.12 and higher soon. Unfortunately, iSight no longer works for people like me.
  • I'm using OS X 10.11.4. 1. When I try to arm the alarm, the alarm immediately alert. 2. When I close lid, the alarm disarm but arm whenever I open the lid back. 3. The password can key in again if I key in wrongly by hitting the backspace then key in the correct password. 4. If I quit and enter the app again, it won't sound when I arm but still will sound after few seconds even though nobody is touching the laptop.
  • you have done great project, ialertu!
