I was at a café, working on something personal, when the person next to me leaned over — just a little too long. I closed the tab. Felt awkward. Opened it again when they looked away. That's when I realized: I didn't need to lock my laptop. I needed to lock that one tab. Windows Lock, macOS Lock — they're great for when you fully walk away. But they do nothing for the moments you're right there: - Shoulder-surfing in a coffee shop - Handing your laptop to someone to "just check this" - Working in an open office with your banking tab sitting open - Sharing a computer at home with family - Locksy locks individual browser tabs. Nobody sees them without your permission. And with v2.3.0, I finally built the thing I always wanted: → Fingerprint / Face ID unlock. Your phone does this. Why doesn't your browser? Now it does — using WebAuthn, the same standard as banking apps. Your biometric never leaves your device. → Auto-lock on inactivity. Step away, tabs lock themselves. No thinking required. → Scheduled locking. Lock distracting sites during work hours. Lock everything at night. → Domain rules. Mark your email or banking as "always locked" — protected every time, no matter what. Zero account. Zero cloud. Zero data collection. Just a lock on your tabs. If you've ever closed a tab just because someone was nearby — this is for you. It's free, takes 30 seconds to set up, and works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
