About CoreLock
We started CoreLock because we were tired of security tools that were either too complicated for normal people or too dumbed-down to be useful. There had to be a middle ground.
Most people know they should care about their computer's security, but they don't know where to start. Traditional antivirus software throws cryptic alerts, buries settings in confusing menus, and asks you to make decisions you're not qualified to make. So most people just ignore it and hope for the best.
We asked a simple question: What if your computer could explain its own security to you? Not in jargon-filled reports, but in plain English. What if it could tell you exactly what's wrong and fix it with one click?
That question became CoreLock — an AI-powered security app that scans your system, finds real threats, and explains everything in language you actually understand. No jargon. No false alarms. No complicated settings. Just clear information and one-click fixes that keep your computer safe, fast, and private.
Founder & Lead Developer
I built CoreLock because I kept running into the same problem: my parents, friends, and non-technical people in my life had no idea what was actually happening on their computers. They'd get cryptic security alerts, ignore them, and hope for the best.
I wanted to build something that tells you what's going on in plain English, and fixes it for you in one click. Not another antivirus that scares you into upgrading — just a tool that actually helps.
CoreLock is a one-person project. I read every support email, fix every bug, and ship every update myself. If you have feedback or ideas, I genuinely want to hear them.
CoreLock isn't a side project — it's my full-time focus.
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

All scanning happens on your device. Your data never leaves your computer unless you explicitly choose to sync it.
