Changes in LockYit 1.2​

LockYit 1.2, released on October 5, 2026, raises the minimum versions for Apple devices:

PlatformLockYit 1.1LockYit 1.2 and later
iPhone and iPadiOS / iPadOS 13.0+iOS / iPadOS 15.0+
macOSmacOS 11.5+ (Big Sur)macOS 12.0+ (Monterey)

Android, Windows and Linux requirements are unchanged.

If your iPhone or iPad is on iOS 13 or 14: every device that can run iOS 13 can also run iOS 15. Update your device in Settings > General > Software Update, then install or update LockYit.

If your Mac can't be updated past macOS Big Sur (mostly models from 2013 and 2014): you can keep using LockYit 1.1, which continues to work, but you won't receive 1.2 or later updates on that Mac. On a new install, the Mac App Store offers the last version compatible with your Mac. Your vault on that Mac isn't affected.

Mixing LockYit 1.1 and 1.2

Devices on LockYit 1.1 keep syncing and sharing with devices on 1.2. The one difference is Files, which are new in 1.2: photos and documents you attach don't reach a device on 1.1. Everything else on those items does. When that device updates to 1.2, its Files arrive by themselves the next time it syncs.

To check your version:

  • iPhone or iPad: Settings > General > About > iOS Version (or iPadOS Version)
  • Mac: Apple menu > About This Mac

Next Steps​

Once installed, follow the Quick Start Guide to set up your account.

App Updates​

To keep your vault secure, LockYit provides a seamless update mechanism:

  • App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store installations will update automatically based on your device settings.
  • Direct downloads (Linux .deb, .rpm, .AppImage) will notify you within the app when a new version is available to download.
  • You can manually check for updates at any time by going to Settings > About > Check for Updates.
