Continuous Mac Care
MacGuy Monitor & Shield
A little peace of mind for your Mac.
Most Mac problems are a lot easier to handle when you catch them early. I keep a quiet eye on your Mac’s health, backups, storage, and security, and I let you know the moment something actually needs your attention.
MacGuy Monitor
A small agent runs in the background and checks dozens of things on your Mac every hour: backups, drive space, battery health, security settings, and more.
MacGuy Shield
Shield blocks malicious, phishing, and scam sites at the network level. It also includes ThreatDown EDR by Malwarebytes, so you get serious threat protection without having to think about it.
Why Mac Guy?
When something looks off, you hear from me. Same Mac Guy you've already worked with, now keeping an eye on things between visits.

Two simple ways to keep your Mac looked after.

Why this actually matters
Catch the small stuff before it’s the big stuff.
Almost every emergency Mac repair I see started as something small that nobody noticed in time. Monitor and Shield exist so you’ve got someone actually watching, and so you hear from me before a tiny problem turns into a lost weekend.
A backup that quietly stopped working
Time Machine drives fail, cables come loose, iCloud storage fills up. You get a heads-up from me before you lose a single photo.
A drive that’s about to give out
Modern Macs warn about failing storage long before anything obvious happens. The trick is having someone actually watching for it.
A phishing link in an email
With Shield, that bad URL never loads in the first place, and ThreatDown EDR steps in if something nasty does try to run.
Common questions
If yours isn’t here, just call or text.
