## About

Don't Touch is a laptop alarm for short café breaks. Arm it from the menu bar and the screen becomes a calm, screensaver-like display. If someone touches the keyboard, trackpad or mouse, moves the Mac, closes or tilts the lid, unplugs the charger, or triggers the optional camera check, it turns red, sounds a siren at full volume and speaks until the PIN is entered.

Designed for macOS 13 Ventura or newer on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, Don't Touch is a small native app with no account, installer, cloud service or setup. The optional camera detects the whole picture shifting without recording or storing anything. It costs $5 once and works on all your Macs.
