Bridging the gap
macOS protects your device. iLocker protects your apps.
Two layers of security. Both matter. But only one controls what happens after your Mac is already unlocked. iLocker adds app and access protection inside running macOS, complementing FileVault.
macOS Login
Device security
A checkpoint at sign-in. Once you are logged in, all apps are accessible to anyone sitting in front of the screen.
iLocker Mac
App security
A second layer, one door deeper. Every app, every folder, secured individually. Even while your Mac is running.
Shared Macs
One Mac. Many hands.
“Can I use your Mac for a minute?”
Sure. Mail locked. Photos locked. Notes locked. Games unlocked, Safari unlocked—whatever else is needed stays open. In two clicks, your Mac is suddenly safe to hand over.
Family
Mail, Photos, and Notes stay private. Games and Safari can remain available.
Kids
Games only at certain times. System Settings stay locked down.
Work
Client folders, contracts, internal tools. Visible only when you decide.
Guest & Presentation
Hand over your Mac. No frantic window-closing required.
How iLocker works
Protect. Lock. Unlock.
Three steps. No lengthy setup. No hidden menus.
Drag an app into the iLocker window. Or choose it from the list.
The app is protected instantly. Next time it opens, iLocker asks for your password.
Password or Touch ID. You are back in immediately.
What iLocker does for your Mac
Protection that fits each app.
iLocker Mac is app protection for macOS that lets you lock individual apps, folders, and files with a password or Touch ID. It is built for the moments when your Mac is awake, unlocked, or briefly borrowed.
Lock apps individually
Mail, Photos, Notes, Safari, games, System Settings. Lock Mac apps individually. Two clicks, done.
Touch ID
Finger on the sensor. The app opens. Touch ID protection for apps—faster than any password.
Folders & files
Not just apps. Protect sensitive folders on your Mac—marked, monitored, and secured.
Schedules
Screen time. Rethought.
Set when apps are available. For focus hours, shared Macs, work routines, or kids.
No Apple ID hurdles. No cloud sync. Just your Mac.
Per app: choose weekdays and time windows
Global lock windows, e.g., focus or homework
Fully automatic, even when no one is at home

Privacy by Design
Your apps. Not ours.
iLocker does not need to know what is inside your apps. It only needs to know whether they are allowed to open.

Your master password stays on your Mac, protected to industry standards.
No cloud for content
iLocker does not see what is inside your apps.
No tracking
No advertising IDs, no analytics SDKs.

Native on Apple Silicon. Compatible with Intel. Install, set a password, done.

Compact, quiet, battery-friendly. No fan noise.
Your Questions
Everything you want to know. Straight answers.
The questions we hear most often, answered as directly as possible.
If your Mac supports Touch ID, you can change your iLocker password in Settings after authenticating with Touch ID. Without Touch ID, you can reinstall iLocker and set a new password. Protectstar cannot see your password.
iLocker works with virtually any installed macOS app. Drag and drop an app, or select it from the list. iLocker protects Mail, Photos, Safari, games, System Settings, Office apps, and almost any installed application. It also protects individual folders and files.
Yes. FileVault protects your drive; iLocker protects individual apps, folders, and files once your Mac is already unlocked. The two layers complement each other. iLocker does not replace FileVault; it adds app and access protection inside running macOS.
iLocker locks access to apps and monitors folders. Your master password and settings are stored locally in encrypted form—never in the cloud. For full file encryption, we also recommend Apple FileVault.
For purchase, license activation, and updates, an internet connection may be required. Protection for your apps and content runs locally on your Mac. In everyday use, iLocker also works offline.
No. iLocker runs in the background with minimal resource usage. Natively optimized for Apple Silicon, M1 through M5. You will hardly notice it.
The macOS screen lock protects your entire Mac. Once it is unlocked, all apps are accessible. iLocker works one layer deeper: every app, every folder, secured individually. Even while your Mac is running and available to others.
Simply drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash. All system components are completely removed. Your apps are then freely accessible again. No leftovers, no hassle.
