LockMyDesk: Remote Lock

Lock your screen remotely

Free · In‑App Purchases

Lock your Mac from your iPhone, your Apple Watch, a Home Screen widget, or Siri. Or just walk away and let your Mac notice you have gone. Walked away from your desk and left your Mac unlocked? Lock it from your iPhone or Apple Watch before you have finished worrying about it. LockMyDesk sits in your Mac's menu bar and waits for one thing: a request to lock the screen. Your Mac stays signed in and its apps keep running. Only the screen locks. ■ Three ways to lock • Tap the button in the iPhone app • Tap the widget on your Home Screen or Lock Screen • Ask Siri, or leave your desk and let the Mac notice ■ Walk away and it locks itself Your iPhone broadcasts quietly over Bluetooth so your Mac knows you are still at the desk. When the signal fades, or your phone leaves the room, the Mac locks on its own. You choose how far is too far and how long it waits. ■ Fast when you are close, reachable when you are not On the same Wi-Fi the lock happens in well under a second, and your Mac confirms it. Away from home the request travels through your own iCloud account instead, and takes a few seconds. ■ Nothing to set up Sign in to the same iCloud account on both devices and they find each other. There is no code to type and nothing to scan. ■ Your data stays yours No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party servers. The only thing stored anywhere is your Mac's name and its pairing key, and that lives in your private iCloud database where only your devices can read it. Requires macOS 26.5, iOS 18, and watchOS 11.
