Moonlock
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.

There’s a lot to love about Moonlock, but I’d personally choose it for two things: its focus on macOS malware and its personalized recommendations on how to improve my protection.
I’ve tried many security apps, and most of them left me clueless about what they actually do. With them cybersecurity is a leap of faith: buy them and hope they’ll actually protect you. Moonlock explains everything in plain language, even with screenshots! You won’t find this kind of guidance anywhere else.
And knowing that macOS malware isn’t an afterthought for the Moonlock team — there's tunnel vision for it — makes me confident Moonlock will protect my Mac from the most recent threats.

Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Kateryna, the marketing designer behind Moonlock. 👋
I worked on the visual identity and web experience — bringing clarity and warmth to a space that’s often too technical.
So excited to finally share our work with you all. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🩷
I’m Yasynskyi Oleksii, an Engineering Manager at MacPaw’s Moonlock Lab 👋
Think of your computer as a loyal pet — friendly, trusting, sometimes a little stubborn. At Moonlock, we want to help you care for it the same way you care for your cat or dog: with simple, mindful actions and genuine attention, not intimidating rituals or complex technical jargon.
Lately in the lab, we’ve been seeing a sharp rise in macOS malware and a clear trend — many attack techniques and tools originally forged in the Windows world are now “migrating” to Mac. These aren’t beginners: they arrive experienced, sharp, aggressive, and well-trained, backed by underground markets, organized groups, and traffic distribution networks. The digital space is starting to resemble the Wild West, full of ambushes and quick draws.
And often, the weakest link isn’t the system — it’s the human. Social engineering, fake updates, subtle tricks — all of these can slip past even the strongest defenses. That’s why we’re building Moonlock not as another antivirus, but as a real caretaker for your “digital pet.” It keeps your system healthy, explains risks in plain language, and helps you make safe decisions every day.
Moonlock is about care, not fear. We believe security should feel natural — accessible, understandable, and quietly protective.
"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
