What's New in SlideToLock
3.0
August 10, 2026
In this update, SlideToLock brings you two major new features to give you even more control over your Mac, wherever you are: New "Heartbeat" Feature (Mac Status): Stop wondering if you left your computer on. You can now check if your Mac is powered on, or see exactly how long it has been offline. Security: Your login password is never sent over the network. It stays securely stored in your Mac's Keychain, accessible only to you. Using this feature requires FaceID/TouchID. Remote Unlock (Experimental BETA): You asked for it, here it is! Try our new "Unlock" feature to remotely unlock your Mac session. Developer's Note: Because Apple's security system is (rightfully) extremely rigorous, this feature is currently offered in an experimental phase. We are continuously improving it, so please feel free to share your feedback with us!
