Tether - one of those apps that works like magic. Once you move away from the only Mac with your phone, the computer is locked. But it is worth to come back - he immediately turned on, and the password is entered automatically. It's really cool.
These applications across to me before, but it worked badly. Periodically have not connected, they flew or functioned not as specified. No wonder I reacted warily to the Tether. However, it turned out that the application is running cool, and also free. Where is the catch?
Him I did not find. Tether is installed on the Mac and the iPhone and connects the device protocol Bluetooth Low Energy. This means the following:
Despite the fact that the devices are constantly connected to each other over Bluetooth, they do not consume the battery.
Perhaps out extra percentage, but even in the iPhone battery statistics I could not find a mention of this application. After installing Tether on both devices, they are automatically connected. And now, if you depart from the iPhone to a distance of 10-15 meters from the computer, the latter is blocked.
If on a Mac there is a password, it will have to enter it each time you return to your computer. However, if you trust the application, you can enter a password in a special window, then in the future it will be inserted automatically.
On the iPhone, there is no active elements, and the application itself works not only in the clear, but when another application is active, or even if the phone is locked.
The iPhone application and a server version for Mac available for free. No additional functions do not need to buy more. Tether copes with its task, and if you often work in a public place or office, it will be very useful.
