Lock/Unlock your Laptop/Desktop based on proximity to your BLE enabled device

Usage

Install this software and have it available on PATH, enable the user service(systemd file is provided) and then configure it. Example configuration is given at config/example.toml.

Security

WARNING: It's very easy to spoof bluetooth mac address and hence it is a security risk to unlock a device when a device is near. Locking it is fine since that's not a security risk. Paired device and better security approach to unlocking will be explored in the future.

Roadmap and Changelog

  • Secure unlocking of devices
  • System Tray for Quick Access
  • Lock device when you're away and after 10 seconds of inactivity. This is to prevent accidental lockinng when your device fails to send its signal
  • Add a keep-unlocked option for more secure replacement for unlock
