See if your Mac is locked — from your iPhone.
Glance at your iPhone — Home Screen, Lock Screen, or the app — and know instantly whether each Mac is locked, unlocked, or asleep.
Two apps, one glance: the free Mac helper reports, the iPhone app shows you · Notarized by Apple · No account, no servers
Why Lock Status
Simple, private, and built to trust
No account to create, nothing on our servers, nothing we can see. Just your Macs, on your own iCloud.
Notarized by Apple
Signed & notarized, Gatekeeper-approved — installs cleanly on any Mac.
Private by design
Syncs only through your own iCloud. We have no access to your data — ever.
No account, ever
No sign-up, no email, no tracking. Nothing to leak because nothing is collected.
Every Mac, live
Run the free helper on each Mac and they all appear — each with its own live status.
Widgets that glance
Home & Lock Screen widgets show each Mac's status without opening a thing.
Free to start
The Mac app is free. The iPhone app is a free companion — Pro is optional.
Meet Lock Status
Your Macs, at a glance
A tiny menu-bar app watches each Mac and reports whether it's locked, unlocked, or asleep — straight to your iPhone, live, and stamped with when we last heard from it.
What you get
Everything you need to glance
All your Macs, live
Locked, unlocked, or asleep — updated the moment it changes, so you can see what shutting the lid actually does.
Home & Lock Screen widgets
Check without even unlocking your phone.
Activity & insights
Locks per day, average session, and a full history timeline.
Private sync
Your own iCloud carries it. No servers, no middleman.
Works with every Mac
One helper per Mac, all on the same iCloud account.
Honest by default
Shows the last state we heard, and when — never a false all-clear, and never asleep passed off as locked.
Activity & insights
See patterns, not just status
Every lock, unlock, and sleep becomes a clean timeline. Enough to work out when a Mac was last touched, spot one that woke while you were away, and see how your day actually went.

Is it free?
The Mac app is free. The iPhone app is free to use, with an optional Pro subscription that unlocks Home and Lock Screen widgets, usage insights, and full history.
Does it work with more than one Mac?
