Find your Mac is a mac app which provides a service similar to the MobileMe "Find your iPhone" service. It allows you to track the location of your mac, and to retrieve it if you've lost it. All data is stored securely on our servers, encrypted using your password. That is why we don't offer a password change / retrieval service currently. The other data entered in the registration in the app, will be used to identify you if you ever lose access to your account. Then we can reset the password, resulting in the loss of all your stored data. Please make an inquiry at the support email

I don't want to have to download this app and read its documentation just to decide if I want to download this app and read its documentation, you know? Isn't that what reading this page is supposed to help us decide?

I don't like the idea of being tracked and my whereabouts is stored on some 3rd party server.
If I have a tracking installed I have in the case of a theft. Announcing the tracking in the menubar seems utterly stupid. It need to totally concealed. That is at least not obvious from any information I can see here.
There are other, much better solutions. Both free and paid.

This app uses nearby WiFi networks and IP addresses to determine your position, as provided by the Mac OS X APIs. Since no mac has a GPS reciever a.t.m., this heavily depends on the area where you live.
I will provide contact info as you told. Also, the 1.1 version will be more easy-to-use, since a first-run wizard is on the way, and documentation will be written.
Thank you for trying my software, and pointing me on my mistakes.

Beacon is sent but not showing on map.
Maybe just for laptops?

I developed this on a OSX86 PC, and there I also couldn't get any pings (no airport-compatible PCI-card), but on my MacBook pro, it worked just fine.
Also, please note that you require at least 2 pings to show up on the map. That is a known issue on the server side, and will be fixed soon.
