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)

AUDIO CONTROLS
You can also play, pause and skip iTunes & Spotify on your Mac remotely. Audio controls work anywhere the physical keys would on your Mac. Now you can even control your Mac's volume level!

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

URL SCHEMES:
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

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..

Love the app... Just one feature request

The app works brilliantly. Hats of to the dev. Just one request... The app autounlocks the Mac when coming close to it which is great .. can a feature similar to the apppe watch be added which allows one to unlock the MacBook when opening the screen without notifications or touch Id. It would make it so seamless.

Absolutely brilliant! One minor addition would make it perfect.

This app is downright one of the most intuitive and simple apps I have used. One request - include an option where my MacBook unlocks automatically when I'm near, instead of me having to confirm the same on my iPhone. That would make the experience truly seamless.

Not working and Worst is no response from developer

After a lot of tries to tweet the developer and help I am compelled to write this review
I had seen a lot of good reviews and was hopeful that the app would work well.

In my case it is installed and while trying to set up it gives a specific error and does not perform its purpose. I shared the video and messaged to developer on twitter but no response.

I do not want to claim refund. I just want the app to work and support from developer in trouble shooting. I am not sure whether it will happen.

Very disappointed.
