Features

Built to make privacy on macOS feel simple and fast.

AppLockr focuses on practical protection: lock sensitive apps and folders, keep day-to-day friction low, and avoid turning your Mac into a noisy security project.

Core features

Biometric unlock

Use macOS Touch ID for quick access without typing a password every time.

Smart schedules

Set AppLockr to behave differently depending on the time, your routine, or when you need extra privacy.

Intruder capture

Record evidence when someone tries to open protected content without permission.

Folder protection

Apply the same lock model to local folders, not just apps.

Lean and native

Designed to stay lightweight, local-first, and free from advertising clutter.

One-time purchase

Buy once and unlock access through the email you use in the app.

Gatekeeper note

AppLockr currently uses a self-signed certificate, so macOS may show a warning on first launch. This is called out clearly so you can make an informed decision before installing.
