Mac app

Mac security that follows your distance.

NearLocky uses Bluetooth to sense your iPhone, Apple Watch, or any paired device. Walk away and your Mac locks itself; come back and it unlocks — no button, no password typed twice.

Security that stays out of your way.

Tune exactly how close is "here" and how far is "gone," then forget about locking your Mac by hand.

🔒

Auto-lock on distance

When your paired device's Bluetooth signal drops below your chosen strength, NearLocky locks the Mac for you.

🔓

Auto-unlock nearby

Come back within range and the Mac unlocks on its own — no need to type your password again.

📶

Precise RSSI thresholds

Independently tune the unlock signal strength, lock signal strength, lock delay, and no-signal timeout.

🛡️

Two lock methods

Choose the real macOS system lock screen, or a lightweight overlay lock that NearLocky draws and dismisses itself.

🌗

Light, dark, 20 languages

Follow the system appearance or force light/dark, and pick from 20 interface languages independent of your macOS locale.

☀️

Wake & screensaver behavior

Wake the display automatically as you approach, lock via screensaver instead, or turn the screen off the moment it locks.

Why it matters

The lock screen you actually use.

Most people skip locking their Mac because it's one more thing to remember. NearLocky removes that friction: the moment you step away with your phone or watch, the screen locks; the moment you're back at your desk, it's ready for you.
