Locksy provides robust password and biometric protection for your browser tabs. Keep sensitive information secure with industry-standard encryption. The extension is built with an offline-first architecture — your password hashes, local logs, and locked tabs remain 100% locally on your device, with no telemetry tracking. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ WHY USE LOCKSY? Ever stepped away from your computer and worried about someone accessing your open tabs? Or work in a shared environment where sensitive information could be compromised? Locksy solves these real-world problems: ✅ COMMON SCENARIOS: • You're at a coffee shop and need to step away - lock your banking tabs instantly • Working from a shared computer at work or library - protect your personal accounts • Family members use the same computer - keep your private browsing secure • Presenting your screen in meetings - prevent accidental exposure of sensitive tabs • Managing multiple accounts - add extra security layer to important sessions • Browser stays open 24/7 - protect tabs even when you're away • Auto-lock after inactivity - never worry about forgetting to lock • Schedule-based protection - automatic locking during specific hours • Unlock tabs with your fingerprint or face - no password typing required • Catch intruders red-handed - automatically log suspicious unlock attempts and webcam photos 🎯 THE PROBLEM: Simply closing tabs isn't practical when you have multiple active sessions, complex workflows, or need to maintain your browsing state. Standard browser password managers don't protect already-open tabs, and OS lock screens don't prevent someone with physical access to your logged-in machine from viewing your browser content. 💡 THE SOLUTION: Locksy adds a password-protected lock screen to individual tabs or entire domains. Even if someone accesses your browser, they'll need your password or biometric scan to view locked content. It's like having a secure safe inside your web browser. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💎 FREE TIER VS. LOCKSY PRO: Locksy is free to use for core locking features.
