Lock
Lock is a Mac app designed to password-protect and restrict access to individual applications on your computer. It allows users to lock sensitive apps behind authentication barriers, preventing unauthorized access when the Mac is left unattended or shared. The app sits quietly in the background and prompts for authentication whenever a protected application is launched or accessed.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results do not contain specific information about Lock (com.siong1987.Lock) or whether it has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The results instead describe various macOS security features and a different open-source app locker called MakLock. To determine your path forward, visit the developer's website or contact them directly to confirm whether Lock has a native Apple Silicon build or is planned to receive one. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (late 2027), this is important to clarify before that deadline. If Lock has not been updated and the developer appears inactive, MakLock is a free, open-source alternative that runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs as a Universal Binary, offering features like Touch ID, Apple Watch unlock, and multi-monitor blur overlay protection.
