Porchlight — Your Mac lock screen message probably still says "If found, return to..."

by

Quick question: what does your Mac lock screen say right now?

Mine said, "If found, return to Ben" for about two years. I set it once after watching a YouTube video about Mac tips, completely forgot about it, and found it again while wiping my machine. That little field - which macOS has had forever - deserved better. So I built Porchlight.

You can set a greeting that shifts with the time of day, pull from 100+ quotes on every lock, or just once a day, or pin a note you'll actually read. It's $4.99, one time.

No accounts, no analytics, no network traffic after the one-time license check - everything runs locally on your Mac.

What does yours say right now? Or what would you want it to say?
