Spy Lock for Mac

A screen-locking program that doubles as a spy camera

Spy Lock uses the camera on your device to take photos of people who try to access your device, and allows you to set it to record a video when your screen is locked.

See who tries to access your device

Spy Lock has a number of small features such as a clock widget, battery widget, and so forth, but its main function is to spy on people who try to use your phone. You can have the app take a photo every time somebody tries to enter an incorrect password into your device. You may also set it to record video whenever the lock-screen comes up. The problem is that the video function ends up taking a lot of “Nothing” video that takes up your device hard drive space and wastes your battery. The app is also very difficult to fully uninstall, and the app makes it difficult for you to see which files belonged to it and which didn't. If you want to fully remove the program, then the only way to be sure is to do a full system recovery to the day before you installed the program.

An average spying program

Spy Lock is not an app that you will successfully uninstall unless you dig into the installation files and key registry files to manual remove the app one file at a time. Not only does it help you spy on other people, but it leaves its own files on your computer covertly when you try to uninstall it. The app is useful to a small extent, as its target audience seems to be people who are constantly having other people try to use their device. If that is the case, then it may be a good idea to install an app such as this one to see who goes on your device when you are away from it.
