Locksy - Tab Locker & Password Protection

Lock tabs with password, fingerprint, or face. Auto-lock on startup, timer, schedule, domain locks & stealth mode. Privacy-first.

Locksy provides robust password and biometric protection for your browser tabs. Keep sensitive information secure with industry-standard encryption. The extension is built with an offline-first architecture — your password hashes, local logs, and locked tabs remain 100% locally on your device, with no telemetry tracking. 🎯 WHY YOU NEED LOCKSY? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Do you work in shared spaces? Need to step away from your computer but have sensitive information open? Worried about someone seeing your personal tabs when you share your screen? Locksy is your solution. Locksy keeps your sensitive tabs secure with strong password protection and instant biometric unlock (fingerprint / Face ID / Windows Hello).
