Moonlock - Mac antivirus that cares, not scares
by•
Don’t you feel that cybersecurity apps have become too complex? Something we’re expected to trust blindly and never truly understand. Moonlock is here to make cybersecurity user-friendly. Finally, it’ll speak, look, and feel human.

"Cares not scares" is such a good one! Many cybersec apps are a bit intimidating on the first glance, great work addressing your audience🔥

Thank you so much! @lizkasian
We really wanted Moonlock to feel like a friend — not a warning sign. Cybersecurity shouldn’t make people feel anxious just for caring about their safety.
Thanks for noticing — it means a lot 💛
Been waiting for something lightweight like this! Does Moonlock work quietly in the background or require manual scans?
MacPaw
@yuliia_savliuk1 Thanks you for the question! Moonlock is designed to stay super lightweight and work quietly in the background with real-time protection functionality — but you can still run manual scans anytime you want. We wanted to keep it effortless and in your control 🙌
Congrats on the launch! Love the design, the logo is especially cool

@arina_shapran1 Thank you so much! 💛

@ksenia_dobreva Thank you so much!

Ah great! Antivirus for Mac.
Apple guys say you don't need an antivirus. Still if you have third-party software like Moonlock, you can feel assured
MacPaw
@chilarai Exactly — agree with you! A lot of people still believe their Mac is 100% safe by default, but sadly that’s not the case anymore. Threats are evolving fast and we’ve been seeing more macOS-specific attacks lately.
That’s why Moonlock exists — to add that extra, proactive layer of defense. Real-time blocking, malware quarantine, privacy tools… everything built just for Mac users who want to stay ahead, not just react.
Thanks so much for your take — really appreciate it!
Great release! I've been a loyal user of MacPaw's product for over a decade, and dazzled there is now a separate security solution! the designs are brilliant, as usual
P.S: Moonlock lab team has been keeping my Mac safe and educating on proper cybersec through their blog & X. Probably the most I've learned about malware since a university course.

@nik_mvp Thank you so much! Your support means the world to us ❤️
Awesome work on the new product - the design looks fantastic! The sound effects are also amazing; I love the "scan done" notification sound from Moonlock. Big kudos to the team!
