These are the risks parents face every day — and the ones most security tools ignore.
Children install games and tools from anywhere. CoreLock catches unsigned, tampered, or malicious apps before they cause damage.
Your Mac holds years of memories and important files. CoreLock detects ransomware-like behavior — file encryption, mass deletion — and alerts you instantly.
You would be surprised how many apps request camera and microphone access. CoreLock audits every permission and lets you revoke them with one click.
Background processes, startup agents, hidden daemons — CoreLock shows you everything running on your family Mac in plain English.
CoreLock is not a generic antivirus. These are the capabilities that make a real difference for your work.
See every app that has access to the camera, microphone, screen recording, and location. Revoke anything suspicious with one click.
No technical jargon. CoreLock tells you exactly what happened, whether it is dangerous, and what to do — in language anyone can understand.
Instantly check if apps your kids installed are properly signed by legitimate developers or if they have been tampered with.
Found something wrong? Fix it with a single click. Quarantine files, revoke permissions, or remove threats — no technical skills needed.
The free tier (3 scans/day) is great for weekly check-ups. Families that share a Mac typically choose Pro ($4.99/mo) for unlimited scans and continuous monitoring.
