You need the bathroom. Your laptop is on the table. LaptopAlarm is the reason you can just go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a PIN. 2. Press Arm and walk away - a grace period gives you time to stand up. 3. If anyone touches your laptop, the alarm erupts until your PIN is entered. WHAT SETS IT OFF - Charger unplugged - the classic snatch, caught instantly - Mouse or keyboard touched - someone sitting down at your machine - USB device removed - a drive or dongle being pulled out - Lid closed or screen locked - someone shutting it to walk off WHEN IT FIRES The screen fills with a pulsing red warning that cannot be clicked away, minimised or alt-tabbed out of. A two-tone siren plays at full volume - LaptopAlarm turns the volume up itself, because a muted laptop makes a silent alarm. It keeps the screen awake so it cannot be quietly slept. Only your PIN stops it. QUIET MODE In a library or an office? Quiet mode skips the siren and shows only the red screen, still logging every attempt. TEST IT FIRST A Test button plays the real alarm so you know exactly what it sounds like before you trust it with your laptop in public. HISTORY Every trigger is recorded - what set it off, when, and how long it took to be silenced. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY LaptopAlarm detects that input happened - it never records what you type. There is no keylogger, no tracking, no network connection, and no data leaves your PC. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS LaptopAlarm is software running on Windows. It is loud, immediate and public - which is exactly what deters an opportunist in a cafe. It cannot survive the machine being powered off, and it is not a replacement for a cable lock on unattended hardware.
