Protect My Mac — FreeNo credit card required

CoreLock is a free AI-powered Mac security app that scans for malware, audits privacy permissions, monitors network connections, and fixes issues in one click. It uses behavioral analysis, YARA rules, and hash-based detection — all running locally on your device. CoreLock scans 8 security areas in under 60 seconds: running processes, network connections, app certificates, privacy permissions (camera, microphone, screen recording), startup items, file system health, and system performance. Free tier includes 3 scans per day. Pro is $4.99/month with unlimited scans and auto-fix. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.

Something on your Mac is watching.

Right now, apps on your Mac have access to your camera, microphone, and files — and you never approved it. CoreLock finds them in 47 seconds.

Why CoreLock

Everything they do, we do better.
Plus everything they don't do at all.

Outdated virus listsAI that watches app behavior

Traditional antivirus checks files against a known list of old threats. CoreLock uses AI to watch how apps actually behave — catching brand-new threats and sneaky programs that older tools miss entirely.

Cryptic jargon alertsPlain English explanations

"PUP.Optional.BundleInstaller.Generic" means nothing to most people. CoreLock tells you: "An unsigned app from your Downloads folder is connecting to an unknown server. Here's how to remove it."

30-minute full scans47-second AI scan

Traditional tools slowly check every file one by one. CoreLock watches what your computer is actually doing right now — what apps are running, where they're connecting, and what they have access to — in under a minute.

Cloud-dependent scanning100% local — nothing leaves your device

Most antivirus tools send your data to their servers for analysis. CoreLock runs entirely on your machine — your files, your information, your privacy. Nothing gets uploaded.

Find problems, figure it out yourselfOne-click fix for everything

Other tools tell you something is wrong and leave you to Google the fix. CoreLock gives you a Fix button on every issue. Low-risk problems get auto-fixed. High-risk ones require your approval first.

We look at everything.
Then we explain it in English.

Three flagship features that make CoreLock different from everything else.

AI Security Scan

Sleep knowing nothing is hiding on your Mac

Without CoreLock: You hope your antivirus catches it. It usually doesn't.

CoreLock uses AI to watch everything happening on your computer — what apps are doing, where they're connecting, and whether they should be trusted. It catches threats that traditional antivirus never sees.

  • Catches new threats, not just known ones
  • Explains findings in plain English — no cryptic codes
  • Full scan in under 60 seconds, not 30 minutes

Know exactly who's watching — and shut them down

Without CoreLock: You have no idea which apps access your camera. They do.

Your camera, microphone, screen recording, and file access permissions — audited across every installed application. Most users find 5+ apps with access they never approved.

  • Find apps secretly accessing your camera and mic
  • Revoke permissions you didn't know you gave
  • Real-time alerts when new apps request access

Found 23 hidden permissions

She ran a scan expecting nothing — then saw what Zoom was still doing...

Okay so I ran this not expecting much and it immediately flagged Zoom and Loom still having mic access even when I wasn't using them?? I had no idea that was a thing. Turned them off in like two clicks.

Saved $200 Genius Bar trip

His MacBook was burning hot every day. He had no idea what was causing it.

My MacBook was running hot and I couldn't figure out why. CoreLock showed me some process called 'mds_stores' using 80% CPU and actually explained what it was in normal words. Saved me a Genius Bar trip.

She's not a tech person. She expected to need help. She didn't.

I'm not a tech person at all. I just downloaded it, hit scan, and it told me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. Didn't have to google a single thing. That's literally all I wanted.
