# BLEUnlock | ||
|
||
Lock/Unlock your Mac with your iPhone, Apple Watch, or any other Bluetooth LE device. | ||
|
||
## Features | ||
|
||
- No iPhone app is required | ||
- Works with any BLE devices that periodically send signal | ||
- Locks Mac when the specified device is away from Mac | ||
- Unlocks Mac for you when the device is near Mac, no need to enter password again | ||
- Optionally wakes from display sleep state | ||
- Password is securely stored in Keychain | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
Unzip and copy BLEUnlock to Applications folder. | ||
|
||
On the first launch, it asks your login password, | ||
which is required to unlock the lock screen. | ||
It's safe because it's stored in Keychain. | ||
|
||
Then it asks for permission for Accessibility. | ||
In System Preferences unlock by clicking lock icon and turn BLEUnlock on. | ||
It is also required to unlock the lock screen. | ||
|
||
## Troubleshooting | ||
|
||
If it fails to unlock, check BLEUnlock is turned on in "System Preferences" → "Security & Privacy" → "Privacy" → "Accessibility". | ||
If it is already on, try turning it off and on again. | ||
|
||
If it asks for permission to access its own password, click "Always Allow", because it is needed while the screen is locked. | ||
