About

I work from cafés and libraries a lot and hated leaving my MacBook alone for bathroom breaks, so I built crookcooked. Arm it and the Mac locks. If someone messes with it, it screams, records them, and sends the clip plus a live view to your iPhone. Video is encrypted and sent over local network. Open source, mostly vibe coded.
