Yes. CoreLock runs entirely on your computer. Your data never leaves your device unless you choose to enable cloud sync. All scans and AI analysis happen locally.

Absolutely. All scanning happens on your device. If you enable cloud sync, only scan summaries and settings are stored (encrypted) — never your actual files or personal data.

Never. Every scan runs 100% on your device. We can't see your files, your browsing, or your data — even if we wanted to. CoreLock is Apple Notarized, which means Apple has verified our app contains no spyware or malicious code.

Fair question. CoreLock is Apple Notarized (Apple verified it's safe), runs entirely on-device (nothing leaves your Mac), and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can verify everything yourself with a free scan before spending a penny.

Yes. Both macOS and Windows have built-in protections, but they don't catch everything. Computers can still get adware, potentially unwanted programs, and privacy-invasive apps. CoreLock finds what built-in tools miss.

Traditional tools check files against a list of known threats — so they miss anything new. CoreLock uses AI to watch how apps actually behave on your computer, catching threats other tools have never seen. Plus, it explains everything in plain English instead of cryptic alerts.

The AI watches what's happening on your computer — which apps are running, where they're connecting, and what they have access to. When it finds something suspicious, it tells you what it is and what to do about it in plain English.

No. CoreLock is designed to be lightweight. Scans run in the background and typically complete in under 60 seconds. The app uses minimal CPU and memory when idle.

No — CoreLock uses less than 1% CPU when idle. Scans finish in under 60 seconds. Many users actually see their Mac speed up after CoreLock identifies resource-hogging processes and clears junk files.

Every fix CoreLock applies is reversible with one click — just hit 'Undo' in the app. High-risk actions always require your explicit approval first. Nothing happens without your say-so, and you can roll back any change instantly.

CoreLock works on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11. Most features work on both platforms. Some advanced features like app certificate verification are macOS-specific.

No. You can download and use CoreLock's free features without an account. An account is only needed for cloud sync, AI chat, and team features.

CoreLock explains what it found in plain English, rates the severity, and offers a specific fix. Low-risk issues can be auto-fixed. High-risk actions always require your approval first — nothing happens without your say-so.
