This new Mac security app built exactly what users wanted: Clear, simple protection for every Mac

October 28, 2025

The latest Mac Security Survey found that most Mac users no longer believe their Mac is safe from hackers. They want more support and believe security software has become necessary. 

The company behind the survey, MacPaw, listened to macOS users’ concerns and launched a new app, Moonlock. MacPaw has been developing macOS and iOS software for over 17 years.

Moonlock challenges the old ways of cybersecurity with an app designed to be more human. It empowers users with knowledge and control, replacing anxiety with clarity. Here’s how it works.

Hackers often succeed by tricking users  

Whether it be SMS phishing campaigns like the new toll scam, malvertising lures, fake sites, malicious downloads, or social media scams, the majority of threats that can currently breach a Mac rely heavily on tricking users.

These evolving tactics, combined with daily breaking news on cybersecurity threats, are the reasons why a majority (68 percent) of Mac users want to talk to someone qualified on online safety, the security survey found. But 32 percent said they believe it’s difficult to find a reliable source.

The Moonlock app, through its System Protection and Security Advisor features, fills in this gap.

Once Moonlock is installed, its real-time protection will automatically start looking for active malware on the machine. This is when the app will recommend that users open the System Protection and Security Advisor features.

System Protection takes a snapshot of the user’s system settings and guides them on what can be improved, from privacy permissions to sharing settings to encryption. Using this feature, any user, no matter how tech-savvy they are, can turn risky settings off and enable built-in macOS settings that protect them but are not enabled by default.

Then there’s Security Advisor, a culmination of years of trial and error in human cybersecurity. The feature is a collection of simple but powerful tips for good digital practices. Examples include “how to recognize a real encrypted messaging app” or “why old user accounts might increase exposure to cyber threats.”

Both features add much-needed explanations and guidance for Mac users, leaving behind anxiety and gaining confidence by knowing exactly what your security software is doing. 

Software that keeps up in an evolving macOS threat landscape 

Mac stealer malware like AMOS, which saw a 300 percent jump in detections in August, can bypass Apple’s built-in antivirus for Macs, steal user data, and empty their e-wallets. Despite this threat being on the rise, it is far from being Mac users’ primary concern.

Nearly half of Mac users (46 percent) feel the need for additional security software that can keep up with online threats. Their top concerns? Personal data breaches, account and password hacking, and identity theft.

Moonlock’s real-time protection will watch over every file users interact with, and can detect and move to Quarantine any malware that reaches a Mac through suspicious links, phishing sites, and fake Apple security alerts.

Using the Malware Scanner feature, users can perform deep, quick, or customized scans for threats. It also allows for automated scans on a schedule, which helps users maintain good security habits by regularly checking for malicious files.

The Moonlock app also comes with a built-in VPN and a Network Inspector coded to mitigate excessive data collection and data transferring. This extra layer of security provides enhanced privacy to users, whether they are browsing or on social media.
