Find out if someone uses your Mac with the Do Not Disturb application

Don't Disturb is an application for macOS that warns us if someone tries to use our Mac without our permission. Additionally, whoever is using it can receive a notification or remain hidden. We always recommend locking your Mac before the slightest break, in the office or in a cafeteria. Just like we should lock it when we separate from the Mac, applying a secure password, away from all prying eyes.

In any case, it is worth using Do Not Disturb if we have doubts about a possible fraudulent use of our equipment. The application will be activated as soon as we want to activate the equipment fraudulently.

It is a free tool, developed by Patrick Wardle. The creator of the app is a security specialist with experience in the sector. Among his creations is the solution of OverSight security, which is responsible for monitoring improper connections to our webcam.

Furthermore, Wardle was awarded by Apple in the Rewards Program, when the company paid to detect security holes in its operating systems. That is why we can be calm about a job done by this professional.

The operation of the application is very simple. After installation, if we leave the application configured by default, When trying to access it fraudulently, we will see a notification indicating the action. 

However, we can deactivate notifications so that the subject does not know that he is being detected. If so, it would be interesting to also deactivate the symbol that appears in the part of the menu bar, so that anyone who watches us while we work, does not detect that we have this security system, and catch the individual, "red-handed ».

Furthermore, any attempt to connect with USB systems, a Thunderbold device, attempt to download information, is logged, as well as any attempt to access with the wrong password.

Furthermore, Do Not Disturb, has an application for iOS, where we can access the information, as if we were in front of our Mac. If you are interested in the application, you can download it from the GitHub page, and from the following link.
