September 16, 2025 Just launched Finderlock – lock files and folders directly in Finder with Touch ID

After weeks of building and refining, I’m excited to share the launch of Finderlock 🚀

Finderlock is a native macOS tool that lets you lock and unlock files or folders directly in Finder with one click. No zipping, no disk images, no separate apps. Just a seamless experience right where you already work.

Key features:

  • Lock/unlock with Touch ID or password

  • Works directly in Finder

  • AES-256 encryption

  • Local-only, no cloud or uploads

  • One-click simplicity

I built this after seeing how clunky the existing solutions were, and I wanted something fast, secure, and native.

Would love your feedback, thoughts, or questions.

September 11, 2025 I built FinderLock: lock files on Mac with Touch ID (no more passwords)

I’ve been working the past month on FinderLock, a native macOS app that lets you lock and unlock files directly in Finder using Touch ID + AES-256 encryption.

The idea came from my own pain: protecting design files and client work usually meant juggling complex passwords or using clunky encryption tools that broke my workflow. I wanted something as simple as unlocking my Mac — just a fingerprint.

Key features:

  • Right-click in Finder → lock/unlock

  • Touch ID authentication

  • AES-256 encryption

  • Local-only, no cloud

  • One-time purchase (with free plan available)

I’m launching soon and currently running a waitlist → finderlock.com

Questions for you all:

  • How do you currently protect sensitive files?

  • Would Touch ID integration make your workflow easier?

  • Any pricing feedback? (still tweaking before launch)

Happy to share the journey and would love your thoughts 🙏

FinderLock exists because protecting files on Mac is way too complicated with passwords and clunky tools. I built it to make file security as simple as using Touch ID — fast, native, and effortless
