Great in the end

Had a few issues at first getting it to work. Don’t know why but everything fell into place and now it’s one of the most useful apps. Mac setup to lock screen automatically and I use my phone to open it. Simple and very effective.

Can’t get it to work

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, I can lock and unlock my Mac from my iPhone manually but doesn’t work automatically when I walk away.

Nice app, but problems with newer OS versions

This is a nice app and I previously had it working on an older Mac mini pre Catalina. With my new kit running Sequoia the proximity lock doesn’t work. I’m hopeful of an update, but until then the best it offers is a button press and Face ID to lock/unlock my Mac. Not ideal or what its intended for.

MacOS Version Not Available

I can only see the iPad version on Apple Store on MacOS, why?

Can’t get the pro version

This app does what it supposed to do but I am trying to get the pro version and can’t do it. It just idles

It does not work on my M2 Mac

Paid but its not working tried all changing the distance does not work to auto lock.

I can manually lock using the app. Also it does lock if bluetooth disconnected. but the distance feature of auto lock is not working.

please fix this bug.

Some functions

Can only get it to work if I manually click on unlock / lock on the iPhone.

On macOS, every time I start the computer a system notification pops up to notify of a new login item which is annoying

Waste of time and money!

I’ve contacted their support multiple times after purchasing the app, which doesn’t work, but it’s been almost a month without any response. Save your time and money—avoid this app and its developer.

Won’t lock/ unlock Mac

Wont work automatically even though I far enough away.
Works using lock button at top
Have emailed for support but no response after 2 days

DID NOT WORK AT ALL

iPhone 15 PRO, iWatch Ultra 2 and Macbook Pro MAX M2. Did not connect ANT of these devices together. Vry disappointing. Not worth the frustration of fixing Apples bugs for them!

Doesn’t Work

I bought and installed (the paid version) this app about 3 months ago, and it hasn’t worked since. I use my laptop at work and sometimes when I get up, I forget to lock it. I thought this app was going to lock my Mac automatically when I walk away, but it doesn’t. It does however work when I manually lock my Mac from the NearLock app which I why I gave this two stars. In this day and age, I’m so surprised Apple doesn’t have a built in feature. You’d think with the Find My app we’d be able to remotely lock our Macs and other devices. Nope, poor experience all around.

I like it, but…

It’s nice to be able to sit down and not go through the motions of unlocking the system, but after locking it for the night, it nags me a few times to unlock it, constantly invoking Face ID. Find myself flipping the phone screen away from my face to swipe it closed.

五年没更新了,网站都关了

Abandonware

This used to work great but doesn’t on Sonoma. The developers have abandoned the only working app in the store.

Unlocks, doesn’t lock

App description says last update was 5 years ago. Sounds like it’s been abandoned. Running Sonoma on M1 Mac, iOS 17.2.1 on phone. Mac doesn’t auto-lock when phone moves outside the threshold distance, though unlock works when the phone gets close enough. Sent email to the address given on the developer’s website, got an error message saying it couldn’t be delivered because the target mailbox is full! It suggests the developer isn’t reading mail at that address
