Locksy provides military-grade tab protection with PBKDF2 encryption (600,000 iterations), keeping your sensitive information secure with zero online tracking. All data stays locally on your device for complete privacy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ 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 🎯 THE PROBLEM: Simply closing tabs isn't always practical when you have multiple sessions, complex workflows, or need to maintain your browsing state. Browser passwords don't protect already-open tabs, and Windows/Mac lock screens don't prevent someone with access 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) to view locked content. It's like having a safe for your most sensitive browser tabs. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 CORE FEATURES: • Instant Tab Locking - Lock any tab with one click or keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+9) • Unlock All Tabs -
