Touch ID app lock

Use Touch ID for private Mac apps.

AppLockr brings a familiar Mac unlock pattern to selected apps and folders: fast for you, blocked for someone casually using your unlocked Mac.

Touch ID details

Fast unlock without making privacy annoying

App locks only work if you are willing to keep them enabled. Touch ID keeps access quick when you are the one opening the app, while still adding a real prompt for other people.

Password fallback

Touch ID support depends on your Mac and system configuration. AppLockr also supports password authentication so protected apps remain usable on Macs without Touch ID.

Best uses

Notes, Photos, Mail

Protect apps that tend to contain personal details.

Browsers and finance apps

Add a practical barrier before private sessions or accounts are opened.

Work apps

Reduce accidental exposure when sharing a Mac at school or work.

Local folders

Use the same privacy mindset for sensitive local files.
