About Locksy - Tab Locker & Password Protection
Locksy lets you lock browser tabs with a password or your fingerprint/face. Keep sensitive websites, work documents, and messages private. Everything stays 100% offline on your device โ no tracking, no ads, and zero telemetry.
๐ฏ WHY YOU NEED LOCKSY?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Do you work in shared spaces? Need to step away from your computer but have sensitive information open? Worried about someone seeing your personal tabs when you share your screen? Locksy is your solution.
Locksy keeps your sensitive tabs secure with strong password protection and instant biometric unlock (fingerprint / Face ID / Windows Hello). Whether it's banking information, confidential work documents, personal messages, or private research - only you can access your locked tabs.
๐ LOCKSY vs DEVICE LOCK?
