Lock Notify Remote vs Quick Timeout

Walked away and forgot to lock your Mac? Lock Notify sends a notification to your phone whenever your Mac is left unlocked and idle. Tap "Lock" right on the notification and your Mac locks instantly. Every lock is verified, and you are told the real result. HOW IT WORKS Install the free Mac companion app (macOS 13 or later), scan the QR code on your Mac's screen with your phone, and you're done. No account needed. The pairing code is stored only on your own devices.

The command channel is end-to-end encrypted; the server only sees an opaque envelope. Location and photo processing stay on your devices. The only data shared is an anonymous push token used to deliver notifications. SECURITY NOTE Locking is one-way: your phone can only lock your Mac. There is no remote unlock. * Wrong-password detection and intruder photo work on the macOS versions supported by the Mac app; they are not available on macOS 26 and later in the Mac App Store version.
