Tether is a Mac application that automatically locks and unlocks your computer based on your proximity, using Bluetooth connectivity with your iPhone. Designed for Mac users with iPhones, Tether eliminates the need to manually lock or unlock your Mac, providing a seamless and convenient experience.

Key Features

Tether utilizes Bluetooth 4.0 to connect your Mac and iPhone, detecting when you are near or away from your computer. When you leave the Bluetooth range, Tether automatically locks your Mac, and when you return within range, it unlocks your Mac and even inputs your login password if required.

System Requirements

To use Tether, you need a compatible Mac and an iPhone. Supported Mac models include iMac (Late 2012 or later), MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 or later), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or later), Mac Mini (Mid 2011 or later), and Mac Pro (Late 2013 or later).

Setup Instructions

1. Download and install Tether on your Mac and iPhone.
2. Enable Bluetooth on both devices.
3. Open Tether on your Mac and select your iPhone to connect.
4. Configure Tether to input your Mac's login password (if set).

Tether offers a convenient solution for Mac users to enhance their workflow and security. While it's free, some users have reported occasional connectivity issues and the need to restart the app.
