Secure your Privacy
------------------------------
Whether it is when we’re taking a call, walking to the kitchen to make a cuppa or stepping out for lunch, one of the things we tend to remember to take with us is our iPhone. So we designed Tether for iOS and Mac to take advantage of our unique ‘iPhone separation anxiety’ behaviour by automatically locking your computer whenever you step away to ensure your digital files and private data are kept safe from prying eyes.
------------------------------
Improve your Workflow
---------------------------
As soon as you return, Tether will automatically enter your password and unlock your Mac allowing you to continue from where you left off. No password entry, just rock on up and youre in!
------------------------------
No Battery Drain
------------------------------
Tether communicates seamlessly between iPhone and Mac using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and draws very little power. Which means you don’t have to worry about Tether draining your iPhone’s battery.
