Flashlight: The Project That Never Was


Some of you may have remembered the mysterious project I was working on a little over a year ago. It was a fun side project, but sadly came and went, after a lack of interest and time. I've decided to put some screenshots of it up on my Flickr account. Here is a little preview of the app you'll probably never see:



Flashlight was an app to guard your Mac using an iSight camera. Using motion detection, it snapped screenshots of intruders as they passed by; if they attempted to use the computer, an alarm would go off if the correct passcode was not entered within the right amount of time.

One day, maybe, this idea will find its way back into my side projects list. As far as I'm concerned though, the app in its current form will never be released.
And so do you have new apps coming ?  
I had thought of doing this exact same thing a while ago, its a shame you aren't going to complete it. Any reasons why?  
@Alpha: Maybe. ;)

@duckalope: Just a lack of interest and time, as said in the post.
 
You should sell it to someone, it looks really cool. Are these shots just mock-ups or a real running development version?  
Fernando: They're the real deal.  
Looks pretty nice... I hope you make it sometime :)
