ProximityLock Help

Automatic computer locking based on Bluetooth device proximity

What is ProximityLock?

ProximityLock is a macOS security app that automatically locks your computer whenever the Bluetooth device you choose (e.g., iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods) moves out of range—providing “set‑and‑forget” protection without any manual shortcuts.

New to ProximityLock? You're three steps away from automatic protection: allow Bluetooth access, select your Bluetooth device, enable monitoring, done. We set the defaults to work right out of the box. Start with Quick Start.
