Have been fumbling around with different apps over the past year claiming to unlock my laptop *magically* in one way or another - this one is the first that's actually working for me. Also, it's free! Install both the Mac and iPhone apps, walk away from your computer and FEEL THE MAGIC. Great product by @fiafo.

@juanbuis @fiafo Seconded. I tried very hard to get Knock to work, but it didn't. Tether works great!

Was super super excited. Worked great when walking away from CPU and returning. Then it started locking up my computer mid-use. Any suggestions for a fix? First experience was awesome... would love to continue using this.

It seems to activate a screen saver when it locks my computer even though I have screen savers turned off. Any way around this? Also, it repeatedly locks and unlocks if my phone is in the same room but not next to the computer (which makes sense because it uses Bluetooth ranging and it's almost impossible for it to reliably determine whether you want the computer unlocked at that distance). Maybe should have have a timer that stops it from unlocking so frequently when the signal strength is lower. Had to uninstall.

I would use it if it was from an "identified/trusted developer" besides, i couldn't see any privacy policy.

Keeps locking my Mac frequently even when I'm right next to it with the phone and working. Annoying as hell.

There's a few similar apps, but to me personally, Tether seems to be 'cleaner' than the rest. Added to my 'Better Together' collection! LET IT GROW!!! :) http://www.producthunt.com/quser...

This definitely looks like a great way to have this whole lock/unlocking situation solved. However, some privacy notes would be great.
