LockApp-vlv is a native macOS utility built with Swift, AppKit, and SwiftUI. It lets you choose installed apps and protect them behind a password screen when they become active.
The app runs from the menu bar, stores the master password in macOS Keychain, and keeps protected app metadata locally in macOS preferences. It does not require an account, cloud sync, or subscription.
The public macOS ZIP is ad-hoc signed only. It is not signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and is not notarized by Apple, so macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning on first launch.
