What about my iPhone battery life ? It is still a problem even with the iPhone 7 so I hope this does not consume too much battery ?

@tiekks Battery life is great. 1% for 4 minutes on screen and 47.5 hours in the background.

This is the best app Ive tried in a while. It is truly amazing. I tried it once before i bought the pro version without hesitation. I have my iphone in my pocket while im listening to music and browsing the internet on my mac. I stand up and walk away and it automatically locks my mac and pauses the music. As soon as I sit back down again the mac is unlocked and music resumes playing. Amazing, truly amazing.

For some reason the mac app was in Portugese and not English when I opened it, but it fixed it self when i connected to my iphone.

10/10 would recommend!

Pros:

Unlocks you mac when you get close to it with your phone

Cons:

pro version (for background unlocks) costs 3.9gbp

I used to love Near lock. It did exactly what I wanted: It locked my MacBook when I walked away from it. Since a few months the iPhone and MacBook don't connect most of the times. It is time for me to try an alternative.

A year ago the app worked like a charm. Since a few months it is hard to connect my iPhone to my MacBook. Unfortunately the developer does not reply to support emails.

Now I use Unlox and I dont experience connectivity issues

Pros:

The idea is simple and good

Cons:

There is a lot of connectivity problems. The app does not connect to my MacBook. This makes the app useless
