I’ve used BLEUnlock before, worked really well. Uses Bluetooth low energy to figure out the proximity of your phone and locks based on that.

Intel WiFi Card & Apple Watch Unlock: success on latest Monterey!
I'm not the author of the following macOS app, but I share my findings here just in case you didn't know yet a such useful app: BLEUnlock on GitHub for simplifying our hackintoshes' life with not natively fully supported cards (who says Intel...)... (here the reason for this post in this section!)

I wish we could also have an option to "Lock Mac" like with our iPhone to prevent someone from unlocking it and using it.
This app has some cool options for Bluetooth devices, incl watch and phone.

Something like this?. Looks like that might work if the Oura periodically sends out a static MAC address. Haven't tested it though. Sounds cool.

How to indicate that a laptop is locked and thus useless for thieves
Hi friends, I followed this guide: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide and some additional steps to protect my macbook from being accessed by unauthorized people. The key steps I did was a full disk encryption and a custom firmware password. This makes it extremely difficult to repurpose my macbook after for example a theft. The reason I want this is that I often study in university or sometimes work in public places, but I also work as a software developer with sensitive consumer data.

Privacy Guide for MacOS Ventura?
I'm looking for a guide to harden MacOS Ventura, preferably including little snitch/lulu blocklist suggestions for MacOS services. I'm aware of dr druh's guide (that currently doesn't seem to be updated for Ventura though) and isn't including a little snitch/lulu blocklist.
