Someone Was Here - Mac intruder photo alerts

Someone Was Here is a free Mac App Store app that snaps a photo of anyone who uses your Mac while you're away and sends it to your iPhone. It learns your face in a two-minute setup and checks photos on-device, so you only get alerts about other people. When someone sits down, tries the lock screen, or unlocks your Mac, you receive a photo with time, entry method, and duration within seconds via the free iPhone app, iCloud, Pushover, ntfy, Telegram, or a webhook. Instant alerts are a $4.99 one-time purchase.

When it's you, it stays quiet. It learns your face in a two-minute setup with a few head turns, and checks every photo right on your Mac. You won't get an alert about yourself.

    I understand that the objective is to, pardon the language, detect the "creeps", but somehow the app itself feels creepy, too :/ Somehow I wouldn't feel comfortable even installing it. Not to mention my own privacy concerns.
