Crookcooked is an open-source anti-theft alarm for Mac that detects tampering when locked, triggers an audible alarm, and sends encrypted alerts, photos, and clips to an iPhone over the local network. It also provides a browser-based interface on the iPhone for arming, disarming, and live viewing. The project is interesting because it leverages local networking and macOS security features to create a self-contained theft protection system without cloud dependencies.

Target audience: mac users, security enthusiasts, developers
