Works alongside FileVault, not instead of it
FileVault encrypts your whole disk at rest. Finderlock adds per-file protection once your Mac is unlocked — so sensitive files stay locked even on an open, logged-in machine. No terminal, no complex setup. Just right-click and protect.
Your files deserve better protection.
Free forever for up to 3 items. No credit card required.
Simple, One-Time Pricing
Pay once. Protected forever. No subscriptions.
Every plan uses the same AES-256 encryption. Paid plans add Touch ID, more items and devices, and automation — not stronger encryption.
Zero-knowledge by design: if you lose your password, your protected files cannot be recovered — not even by us. Keep your password safe.
