What happens when my Mac is stolen?
According to a recent FBI report, 97% of all stolen computers are never recovered. Many people we know have had their Macs stolen, often in ‘safe’ situations. That’s why we’ve designed this bundle including Undercover: a unique theft-recovery application designed from the ground up for Mac OS X.
Accurately locate your stolen Mac
Undercover uses advanced technology developed by Skyhook Wireless. Thanks to Wi-Fi positioning, Undercover can accurately locate your stolen Mac within a range of 10-20 meters.

See what happens on your stolen Mac
Undercover is the world’s first theft-recovery software to send screenshots of your stolen Mac at regular intervals. These screenshots will sooner or later reveal the thief’s identity.

See who’s using your Mac
Undercover transmits mugshots of the thief and his surroundings every 8 minutes, making it even easier to identify the current user. It’s like having a private detective working for you.
What if recovery fails?
Hardware failure. Revenge of the darkness.
If recovery of the stolen Mac fails for any reason, Undercover has an ingenious plan B. It can simulate a hardware failure by gradually making the screen darker until it becomes unusable.
This erratic behaviour should urge the thief to either sell the Mac (e.g. on eBay) or bring it to an authorized Apple reseller. Because the stolen Mac’s location is continuously monitored, you can easily detect when the Mac is sold or returned to a Mac shop.
Full-screen message. Scream and shout.
At that point, Undercover will show a full-screen message alerting the reseller (or someone who bought the Mac from the thief) that the Mac has been stolen, that it has become unusable and that it needs to be returned as soon as possible. Our contact information and a promise for a finder’s fee will be displayed as well. Additionally, your Mac will start shouting this message.
Money-back Guarantee
We are so confident that Undercover will enable us to recover your Mac that we offer you a money-back guarantee. If we can not help you recover your stolen Mac, we will fully refund your purchase of the Undercover software. No questions asked.
