Having a Mac can bring many benefits, in fact I think it's an Apple tool that I highly value. Over time getting used to giving it a desktop use and that means it goes into sleep mode with this tired of setting up a password too often to sign in, but there are two ways to avoid this and unlock your Mac from your iPhone.
If you have an Apple Watch, the easiest way is to use watchOS and easily unlock or, if your Mac has a touch ID then open it directly to the bar. However if you have a previous Mac or desktop, the guys from Dropnews showed you two ways to unlock it on the iPhone without entering a password. By chance I tried both again I can give you my opinion.
Next to the keys
This is one of the pioneer applications to allow the unlocking of the Mac from the iPhone. You can download the tool for free, though you must pay for "Premium" options
Lock Lock lets you use Siri to work with voice. Lock and unlock your Mac remotely and manually from the iPhone with TouchID. Also the computer is open and sleeps close to the phone. You can post a clipboard between both devices and take pictures of the participants who want to enter your session without your permission.
Installation is easy. Download the app, then it is a supplement for your Mac. You have to link them both, enter your login password and provide access to system security from preferences. With this you will have the opportunity to unlock your Mac with your iPhone remotely and manually.
Unpleasant
Unlox has recently been updated, offering a new look and user experience that allows him to unlock his Mac on his iPhone. Or from widget, 3D touch, Face ID and Touch ID One can be sure it will work. It's free, though, with the same cost of Near Lock in its Pro version (about $ 4) and this way Unlox will work on both types, iOS and macOS.
The installation process is very similar to Near Lock. The app and Mac installation are downloaded. Access is allowed, the login password is set and paired to start enjoying Unlox.
Unlox features are also similar: sleep and login from iPhone, shareboard between devices and distance blocking. But the user can Confirm tasks that require your password, control live music, shortcuts are compatible with Siri even on screen.
It's my opinion
Ultimately these two applications serve their purpose, turn on the Mac from the comfort of your iPhone, forget to enter passwords and take advantage of other functions such as clipboard control and music.
However, the fact is Near Lock is perfect only if you have a Pro version, without them you don't have the "basic" options such as the widget and its much-needed background functionality. The free version is great, but over time connection problem becomes problematic. I bought it and it was my default service to turn on my MacBook for a long time. If you can make the cost the fact that it helps a lot, the control panel on the Mac bar, works well too meets the expectations of developers
On the other hand, at one point I was able to get Unlox at a discount and changed the request. The interface is simple and simple, it comes together from scratch, everything is very fluid and I can access all the functions. It doesn't satisfy my MacBook's performance anymore it suits my needs.
Both the intended applications in the user category have different options, I couldn't recommend one more than the other. I think eventually the user can follow my experience and try both, eventually explaining the simplest and most complete way to unlock your Mac on the iPhone.
