Near Lock uses the new Bluetooth Low Energy and doesn't drain your battery. The app is also optimized to preserve energy where possible. You can also use the FREE version to test how your battery is affected. Our own test have shown that the usage is minimal.

Anyone have experience with this or similar MacBook-locking apps like this weekend's hunted product, KeyTouch? TBH, typing my password isn't that big of a deal for me.

How is this on battery life? I feel battery life is such a commodity that I would rather "be hassled" (not much of a hassle) with typing my password versus lose a precious few percentage points. I feel like any app that requires constant running in the background (or foreground for non pro users) should put effect on battery life front stage and center.

Had some trouble setting this up as it messed up my Magic Trackpad and made it jittery and unusable. Looks real pretty though. I keep waiting for Apple to make this part of the OS...maybe with the Apple Watch.

@duvnjak99 I had a similar issue. Magic Trackpad is now all wonky. Also, is there any way to pair the device to two computers?
