Built FinderLock: a macOS app to lock files with Touch ID (no more passwords)

Hey IH 👋

I’ve been building FinderLock, a native macOS app that lets you lock/unlock files directly in Finder using Touch ID + AES-256 encryption.

Why? Because I kept running into the same problem: protecting client work or personal files meant juggling long passwords or using clunky encryption tools that slowed me down. I wanted something that felt as seamless as unlocking my Mac — just a fingerprint.

💡 What FinderLock does:

Right-click in Finder → lock/unlock

Touch ID authentication

AES-256 encryption

Local-only (no cloud)

One-time purchase (free plan available)

I recently finished the customer portal (for managing licenses), fixed some auto-lock bugs, and reworked the export function for stronger protection. Launching soon, and there’s a waitlist open 👉 finderlock.com

I’d love feedback from this community:

How do you currently protect sensitive files on Mac?

Would Touch ID integration make it part of your daily workflow?

Any thoughts on pricing models you’d expect here?

Thanks for reading 🙏 Excited to share the journey!
