Great but remember basic security...

Replacing something you know (your password) with something you have (your phone) is weakening your overall security. You gain as your Mac always locks itself when you walk away (unless you had a hot corner set to start your login screen with password lock), but anyone with your phone unlocks it… I like the option to enable TouchID on the iPhone before it allows unlocking on the Mac, so the Mac does not unlock by mere presence of the phone. It requires me & my finger (or you took the time to forge it, longer than just walking by). I also like that you can disable rapidly Near Lock from the Mac with 2 mouse clicks. I tend to use Near Lock during the day at work when I move in and out a lot, and turn it off when I know I’ll be away from the computer for a long time, for the night, when I travel… Oh, it works without installer (drag-n-drop the Mac app in the Application folder), which is great in these day & time where so many applications comes with an installer wanting your admin password to start with. It has a simple but beautiful UI, it is easy to use, and so far has been reliable. A really great product.
