What's new

Refinements to how alerts arrive on iPhone and iPad, and a quieter live view.

• Lower latency from sensor to alert — a moved device now reaches you in about a second.
• A calmer live view that pauses the preview to save power while sensors and alerts keep running.
• Clearer alert wording so you can tell at a glance what happened.

Apple-Silicon Macs can now sense being moved — even with the lid closed — adding a motion signal alongside the camera watchdog.

• Movement sensing on supported (Apple-Silicon) Macs; other Macs continue to rely on the camera watchdog and offline detection.
• The armed cover now blocks more of the usual ways to get back into the device.
• Steadier low-battery warnings so you’re told before a watching Mac runs down.

The first public beta of Stealward. Leave a Mac, iPad, or iPhone behind and it becomes a private, watchful camera that alerts another device the moment something moves.

• Arm a session in seconds — no account, no email, no password.
• Camera, microphone, and motion sensors watch your belongings behind a calm cover.
• Real-time alerts to a second device, able to cut through Do Not Disturb.
• Recordings — video, audio, and thumbnails — are end-to-end encrypted, so only your own devices can open them.
• Watch a private live view during a session and review recordings afterward.
