INTERACTIVE NOTIFICATIONS
You don't even need to open the app to unlock your Mac. MacID intelligently notifies you when one of your connected Macs is woken up, which you can action directly from your iOS lock screen using either your fingerprint or passcode.
AUTHORISE
MacID can notify you when tasks require your macOS admin password, like moving protected files to Trash or changing a setting in System Preferences. (Admin accounts only)
AUDIO CONTROLS
You can also play, pause and skip iTunes & Spotify on your Mac remotely, as well as change the volume. Simply long-press on the audio controls to toggle between track and volume controls. Audio controls work anywhere the physical keys would on your Mac.
3D TOUCH
Press hard on the app icon to quickly access settings or to lock and unlock your Mac.
URL SCHEMES:
Create Home Screen shortcuts and URL schemes to lock and unlock your Mac from other apps.
CLIPBOARD SHARING
Ever needed to quickly share a phone number or piece of text between your Mac and iOS device? Clipboard sharing is built right into MacID – share any piece of text quickly and reliably. And now you can do it right from the Notification Center.
AUTO-LOCK
Enable auto-lock in MacID for macOS and your Mac will automatically lock when your iOS device moves away from it. You can even get notified when your Mac locks itself.
PROXIMITY WAKE
Enable Proximity Wake in MacID for macOS and your Mac will wake its display when your iOS device gets near. Simply authorise from the interactive notification MacID sends you to unlock your Mac, or enable automatic unlocking to have MacID do it for you.
WIDGET
MacID includes a handy Notification Center widget, which will show all your currently connected Macs and give you quick access to lock and unlock them from anywhere on your iOS device. You can even start a Mac's screensaver or share the clipboard.

So finally after tweeting twice to the developer,i have to write this review here with a heavy heart. MacID needs to update but on the ios and macOS. Even when i used ios10 in my 7plus..it never unlocked my mac without having to unlock the phone.i did mention it on twitter but it was sadly not fixed for months. N ever since the last ios 10update came,even though i get notifications for my imac,app says there is no phone connected. The only solution to rectify this,is to wipe off the bluetooth in macos n make a new connection. Which kills the purpose of this app which is “convenience”. I see that happening a lot with independent developers,but ultimately end customer has to face these pesky bugs! High time u update this n fix things

Not ready for iOS 11

Pretty cool but not helpful

When I start my mac or reboot my mac I don't get any pop up to unlock mac on my iPhone. It does not even work if u lock your mac and try to launch it again. It only works when ur device is connected and you lock your device and try to start it again. Waste of money

Plz fix the issue with Mac Version

App really works fine. Perfect for locking and unlocking. But having issues with Mac version after 10.12.4 was released causes the screen to go black after sleep and boot disabled the app and the issue was resolved. Plz fix this I want to use the app again.
