Prey 1.13.42 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesPrey is protection you install before anything goes wrong. This small agent sits quietly on your MacBook until the day it is lost or taken. Then you sign in to the online panel, mark the device as missing, and Prey starts sending reports with its location, nearby network details and, where permitted, pictures and screenshots. From the same panel you can sound an alarm or lock the screen while you work on getting it back.

FAQs
Is Prey free?
A free plan covers personal use on a small number of devices. Paid plans add more devices, faster reporting and fleet tools for organisations.
Can Prey find a Mac that is switched off?
No tool can reach a powered off machine. Prey reports as soon as the Mac wakes and connects, and keeps a location history from before.
Does Prey watch me all the time?
No. It stays idle until you mark the device missing or request a report, and camera use follows the permissions you granted.
