You don't need to open the app to unlock your Mac. Unlox Intelligently sends notifications when one of your connected Macs is woken up, which you can action directly from your iOS lock screen using either your fingerprint, face or passcode.
AUTHORISE
Action notifications when tasks require your macOS admin password, like moving protected files to Trash or changing a setting. (Admin accounts only)

3D TOUCH
Press hard on the app icon to quickly access settings or to lock and unlock your Macs.

Create URL schemes to lock and unlock your Mac from other apps like Shortcuts.
CLIPBOARD SHARING
Clipboard sharing is built right in – share any piece of text quickly and reliably.
AUTOLOCK
Enable AutoLock and your Mac will automatically lock when your iOS device moves away from it. You will even get notified when your Mac locks itself.
AUTOWAKE
Enable AutoWake and your Mac will wake its display when your iOS device gets near, with the option to automatically unlock it.
WIDGET
Includes a handy Notification Center widget, which will show all your currently connected Macs and give you quick access to lock and unlock them from anywhere on your iOS device.
iPad HARDWARE KEYBOARD SUPPORT
Great support for hardware keyboards so you can zip about the UI really quickly and intuitively.
The iOS app needs to be paired with the free Unlox for macOS companion app, which you must download from unlox.it/get
Pairing Unlox for iOS with Unlox for macOS will enable Tap to Unlock, an exclusive way to unlock your Mac by tapping a custom tap pattern into your Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse. Exclusive to Unlox.
Unlox is not compatible with MacID.

What's New in Version 3.0.4

Hello, everyone! Thank you for your continued support. Independent developers like me truly appreciate everyone's support and patience while working on updates. The best thing you can do to continue to support us is to leave a review in the App Store. Thank you!
Unlox 3.0.4:
- Provides a fix to stop Unlox for iOS' underlying database file from growing way too large, eventually crashing the app.
- Provides a fix for people who's database files were too large to load into the app, causing the app to crash before Unlox for iOS could apply the regular fix added. Unfortunately the only fix for this once it's crashing is to delete the underlying database file, so you'll need to set up again if this affects you. Apologies!
- Fixes the widget not working correctly with Dark Mode.
- Improves Unlox for watchOS, but I would like to completely re-write the Apple Watch app to make it faster and more useful..

App won’t work between iMac Pro and iPhone 11pro

Would be great to have this app work, seeing as I paid for it. I don’t mind the tap to unlock function on the mouse, but would be great to have the auto-unlock working.

Cannot Recommend

When MacID was first released, it worked a charm with both my phone and watch. In time it just stopped working reliably and I removed it from my devices. Today I purchased Unlox in hopes that the bugs had been squashed but it’s just not connecting. I can’t recommend this app.

It Works

MacID used to be better. Now, with Unlox, you get transferred to the app before you can unlock your computer. MacID used to do that right on the spot. No need to go in-app.

Used to work :-(

Have a really long complicated password for my Mac. This changes everything. I was sitting there annoyed again. I wonder if I can use my iPhone to unlock my computer. Can you search for some options this is the only one that’s been updated recently. I’m so glad that they made this. Thanks. PS 4 not 5? 5 is for exceeds all expectations. If anything makes me feel that way, I’ll up it.

Zero star if it was possible

I have no idea how it has 4.2 stars, but I assure you that this is not a 4-star app. When needed, it only works 10-20% of the time. The window that pops up when you unlock your screen takes up half of it for 10 seconds, not to mention that the app has to be open in the background and running (no swiping off from multitasking) to even connect in the first place.
As tempting as this app might be, don’t buy it. It doesn’t work as advertised. Save your money and buy an ice cream sundae or something instead.

Unlox works

Some reviews say that the app doesn’t work, but the new bug fixes have rendered the app functional. It works as advertised and locks and unlocks my mac flawlessly. Just be sure to turn on background app refresh.

Not working.

Works until you swipe away the app, does not connect back to Mac until you sign in again which means I still have to use my password, making this app redundant.
Just says searching on the Mac...

Almost never detects my phone.

Bluetooth is on on phone and Mac. But 90% of the time the app does not see the Mac even though it is on and at the login screen after sleeping.
Essentially useless. I’m angry that I paid for this.

Very finiky and doesn't work with iMac.

App is very finiky and my iMac is rarely discovered. I will always have to manually unlock my iMac before it maybe begins to work, which defeats the purpose of this app. Very little support or FAQ avaible to resolve any issues......

It’s not unlocking Macbook Pro 2017

This app shuts down every time you walk away from your computer and does not restart. The old app worked much better.
