Mac ID allows you to open your Macbook\/iMac using the TouchID sensor on your iPhone 5s\/6\/6+, or your passcode in iPhone 4s\/5\/5c. It also comes with handy features like turning your iPhone into a music remote control (just like Remote), it adds a widget to the Notification Center, and it comes in black and white (pink is the standard color) However, this nifty app comes with a price: $4 in the AppStore. Today, and for the next 48 (less at the time of this post), MacID is free.<\/p>\n

Set up is easy, you just need to download the OS app through macid.co\/get<\/a>, install, and pair with your iPhone.\u00a0However, there are 2 setbacks. Your Mac\/iMac needs to have a Bluetooth LE profile and be on OS X 10.10 or higher, otherwise it won’t work.<\/p>\n
