MacID for PC

★ ★ ★ MacID Overview

What is MacID? MacID is an app that allows you to unlock your Mac using your fingerprint, passcode, or watch without unlocking your iOS device. It requires a Mac with Bluetooth LE running macOS Yosemite or newer and an iOS device with Bluetooth LE running iOS 8 or newer. The app works with multiple Macs, iOS devices, and Apple Watches at once and offers features such as interactive notifications, audio controls, clipboard sharing, and more.

Software Features and Description

2. Enable auto-lock in MacID for macOS and your Mac will automatically lock when your iOS device moves away from it.

3. MacID can notify you when tasks require your macOS admin password, like moving protected files to Trash or changing a setting in System Preferences.

5. Enable Proximity Wake in MacID for macOS and your Mac will wake its display when your iOS device gets near.

Was okay, but...

By Alejandro de Paris (Pcmac user)

Honestly this app never really worked reliably for me, the idea was awesome however and it's no wonder Apple stole it! Which leads me promptly to my next point - this functionality is now baked into macOS so why do I need an additional app anymore?
Does not recognize that I’ve changed my Passcode

By Testwick (Pcmac user)

Problem 1. The devices would not find each other. Solution: Toggling Bluetooth on and off, resetting Bluetooth did not work, so I uninstalled this app from both iPhone and Mac and then reinstalled after rebooting both devices. This resolved my Bluetooth connectivity issues. Problem 2. The app did not recognize that I’ve changed my login password. Solution: Go into Keychain and delete anything associated with this app. Disconnect and forget device. Relaunch this app Re add iPhone. It then asks you to enter your current login password. (For me, multiple times this failed as clicking continue to update my password just hung and did nothing) But this was because I did not relaunch the app after the keychain delete. 😑 so hopefully now it will go back to working the way it did before which was rather flawless. Definitely some bugs but great app otherwise. I’ve been using it for years. Dev doesn’t really respond to emails but it’s just him a one man army so it’s understandable. Thank you 🤓 this is this best of the bunch. Pretty much a must have.
Doesn't work unfortunately

By afrankenlala (Pcmac user)

The idea of this app is very cool, but it has been plagued by a Bluetooth bug for like 2 years now, where it won't go past the 'connect your phone' screen. Author is very aware of this bug which seems to be fairly widespread, and blames it on Apple. I'm sure Apple probably has its fault indeed, but like how do you manage to not fix the problem in nearly 2 years? So a large share of the user base simply can't use the app? The author should be heavily invested in fixing these pesty bugs rather than providing a million different theme customizations. I would have requested my money back except I bought this a long time ago and got some use out of it before the bug showed up, so it wouldn't be fair. But this is a warning to other users considering getting this app.
It's Been Missing...

By ErikDPhillips (Pcmac user)

From Apple's proprietary lineup stable of apps that should have been introduced years ago! I'm dumbfounded as to the reason they didn't think of this ingenious app of amazing features! The concept of being able to lock and unlock my laptop at will from a distance with just my fingerprint is so simple and has become a regular part of my computer security and privacy protocol...I wouldn't know what to do without you, Mac ID!
