About

MacAway sits in your menu bar and does one thing: it locks your Mac when you walk away. Setup takes a minute. Pick the iPhone or Apple Watch you already carry, and you are done. Nothing to install on the phone, no account, nothing to tune. The menu says in plain words whether you are protected, and one switch pauses it when you want to stay put. If it ever locks while you are still there, it tells you why and offers the one fix. 14 days free, then $14 once for all your Macs.

AI Summary

MacAway is a menu bar application that automatically locks your Mac when you walk away, using your iPhone or Apple Watch for detection. It offers a 14-day free trial, followed by a one-time payment of $14 for use on all your Macs.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
