Odds are that you leave your computer alone somewhere everyday, leaving it vulnerable to anyone trying to guess your password.

But hey! You always have your iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch with you, and with Blink youll be notified whenever any of your Macs wake or sleep so you can stop intruders in their tracks. You never have to open the app – just carry on with your normal routine and your Mac will send you notifications as needed.

Pair by scanning a code on your Mac – thats it. Youll now be notified anywhere in the world – theres no need for your device to be near your computer, or even connected to the same WiFi network.

To download the required iOS companion app (paid) and view a working demo, head to micahbenn.com/blink for links.

Note: versions before Blink v1.1 (iOS/Mac) are incompatible with newer versions. For successful pair/use, please update the apps on both platforms to the newest version.
