Launched this week

Lock Mac files in Finder with Touch ID & AES-256

FinderLock is a native macOS app that lets you lock any file or folder in Finder with Touch ID or a password. AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by banks. Unlike FileVault (full-disk only), FinderLock protects individual files with one click. Double-click to unlock, auto-lock when idle, and lock icon badges right in Finder. Everything stays on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Free plan included. One-time purchase — no subscription.

👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Abdelhak, the founder of Finderlock. I built Finderlock because I always found it frustrating that macOS didn’t offer a simple, native way to securely lock files or folders right inside Finder. Encrypting files usually meant using Disk Utility, command line, or third-party apps that felt too complex or relied on the cloud. So I made Finderlock: Native macOS app (feels like it should have shipped with your Mac). Lock/unlock in 2 clicks with Touch ID or password. AES-256 encryption for peace of mind. Local-only — your files never leave your Mac. 👉 We’re launching today with an early bird offer: 50% off for the first 100 users. I’d love your feedback! What do you think of the Finder integration? Is there a feature you’d like added? Would you use Finderlock for work, personal, or both? Thanks so much for checking it out. Your feedback means the world 🙏 🔗 https://finderlock.com

Hey @abdelhak_akermi - congrats with the launch! Would be really great to see the demo of how it looks in Finder, because now screenshots or video only show the app, but for me the actual working logic is more interesting (you are likely to see that more often than changing settings). How does this app compare to just using a Sparse Bundle created with a Disk Utility for free? With Sparse Bundle can put it under protection and unlock with double-click and Touch ID too (if you save the bundle password to keychain), and then simply access from the Finder as an attached volume, all for free. Cheers!

The FAQ section on finderlock.com has eight blank headings with no content — and the feature comparison table has empty cells for every row. Both sections exist specifically for visitors who are close to buying but have a remaining objection. Right now they hit that part of the page and get nothing, which is worse than those sections not existing at all. Looks like a rendering issue that's actively costing conversions. Happy to share more if useful. — Ramin
