Not as expected

It should have been noted in the App Store description that the unlock feature is for the app’s own locking implementation, not from macOS’ login screen. You’ll only find this out after paying and launching the program’s settings. While this may serve some, I do not know how effective and secure it is compared to the System Lock, especially if the app crashes and leaves the system open. There are some other ‘proximity lock’ apps available that have a Helper that will unlock from the native lock screen, but this app is not one of them.

Also, I could not get the advertised Notifications feature to work, so I would never know if my Mac locked or not.

Сломали то, что работало

Редизайн настроек сделал приложении менее интуитивным. Раньше можно было легко добавить управляющее устройство (например, часы) и компьютер блокировался.

Теперь мне нужно держать приложение запущенным в фоне на iPhone для корректной работы, что ранее не требовалось. Добавить часы в качестве управляющего устройства я не смог. Кроме того функция блокировки попросту не работает.

Итог: прекрасное приложение сломали и сделали неудобным. В рамках прежних macOS 15 и iOS 18 мы пришли от хорошего приложения к бесполезному приложению. Заслуженная единица.

It just works

I like it already and haven’t had it installed for more than a half hour. It just works! I mainly use Windows for my corporate machine and Windows 11 has dynamic lock built in, tied to my iPhone. I step away and it locks my computer. I was searching for something like that built into Tahoe, but couldn’t find it, then I found this and had to give it a try. I work in cybersecurity and having a secure computer is a must. I’ve seen people do silly things to other’s computers when they walk away from them leaving them unlocked. This app solves the problem for MacOS, and I’m glad I found it.

Refund

Please refund me.
After purchase, it doesn't fit OS26, so I can't use it properly.

It doesn’t work

It doesn’t seem to work. I will likely be asking for my money back from Apple.

Pour le moment bof

No complaints so far

No complaints, works as intended so far. Super easy to configure too :) Great job!

Awesome app

Works as intended, runs quietly in the background.

Hesistant at first but 10000% happy I bought it.

I have recently been spending much time around people. Listen, I love my family and my partner, BUT I don’t need them to mess with my messages on my Mac or work stuff.

I was initially hesitant to buy since the one review was bad, but I looked up the developer in the App Store and saw he made lots of very good, reliable apps, so I took the leap. Glad I did.

1. It does work
2. Software updates happen regularly, so kudos to you
3. I have it set up with my Apple Watch it comes down to Range and interference. I’ll explain below:

If I walk into the kitchen, 10 feet away, it's locked. If I want to my bedroom and back, it is father, but it has thinner walls. It is hit or miss if it locks.

Just keep in mind the infrastructure of your home.

For the developer. I would love to see an Apple Watch compilation that allows you to just tap a lock button on the watch face to lock the Mac screen.

Useful Utility

This tool offered great functionality as it was when I first downloaded it, but I thought it could be improved with a couple of additional features, so I contacted the developer who was extremely fast to respond and incorporate my suggestions.

I have recommended this app to several co-workers.

Works as advertised (mostly)

For me this worked on an M2 Pro MacBook Pro running Sonoma, but not on an Intel MacBook Pro running Ventura.

It is pretty basic in it functionality, but pretty pricey for the basic function that it performs.

Decieving

App name implies it unlocks computer, this is not the case. It only locks it.
