How Moonlock uses system resources
(Updated: )Moonlock is designed for efficiency, with a macOS-native architecture that minimizes CPU and battery impact. Here’s how your Mac’s resources are being managed:
- Smart scan scheduling: Idle-time scanning avoids interfering with active tasks.
- Optimized resource use: Only high-risk files and areas are prioritized for real-time checks.
- Low power impact: Background daemons are lightweight and pause automatically during low-power states or when your Mac is asleep
Moonlock’s background components are what make its real-time protection, secure networking, and system monitoring possible. They're carefully engineered to protect your Mac continuously while preserving performance and battery life.
