BLEUnlock is a macOS menu bar utility that locks and unlocks your Mac based on the proximity of a Bluetooth Low Energy device such as an iPhone, Apple Watch, or any BLE device with a static MAC address. It stores your password securely in the Keychain and can optionally run scripts, wake the display, or pause media playback on lock/unlock.
Use cases
- automatically unlock my Mac when my iPhone is nearby
- lock my Mac screen when I walk away with my Apple Watch
- use a BLE device as a proximity key for macOS
- pause music when I leave my desk and resume when I return
- run a custom script whenever my Mac locks or unlocks
- wake my Mac display from sleep when I approach
When to choose
- you want password-free unlocking of a Mac using an iPhone, Apple Watch, or any BLE beacon
- you prefer a free, open-source alternative to commercial proximity-lock tools
- you want optional automation hooks (scripts, media pause, display wake) tied to lock/unlock events
When to avoid
- you are not on macOS (it is Mac-only)
- your BLE device uses a rotating MAC address, which breaks detection
- you need a security-hardened, audited solution - proximity unlocking is inherently weaker than typing your password
- you require a signed Mac App Store distribution
