MacPaw, a global software development company, announced the official launch of Moonlock, its new cybersecurity application exclusively for macOS. The app is designed for everyday Mac users who feel overwhelmed by the complexity of digital security.

“Cybersecurity shouldn’t feel like a maze of fear and complexity,” said Oleksandr Kosovan, CEO and Founder of MacPaw. “With Moonlock, we want to turn the anxiety into confidence — giving people powerful protection that feels simple, human, and reassuring.”

The launch addresses a growing need for Mac security. The latest Moonlock Survey shows that 66% of Mac users faced a cyber threat last year, while Mac malware detections rose by 20% in 2024 compared to 2023.

Moonlock provides Real-time Protection — a feature that runs continuous background scanning to block threats even when the app is quit. For more in-depth checks, the Malware Scanner allows users to perform scheduled system scans.

All these functions with in-app explanations that empower users and help them feel genuinely secure.
