How can I lock my entire Notes app and require a TouchID or password?

[bobright]

So my sister just got a MacBook Air. She’s coming over from an old windows desktop and wanted a laptop. I recommended her a MacBook she got one and loves it so far but wants me to help walk her through some of the setup. I have an older iMac so know a little bit about them but not a whole bunch.

Anyway she likes the Integration with her iPhone but had a question and wanted to know if there’s a way that she can lock her Notes or specific apps? I came across some ways to lock certain notes but is there a way to lock the app completely? Maybe where it’ll require TouchID?

Thanks for any help!!

Also a side question if anybody has any recommendations on some must have apps for her it’d be appreciated? I’m not up to date on any of the new recent apps as I use my Mac sparingly. Are Alfred and BetterTouchTool for gestures still good apps or is there better versions?

It is not possible to have the Notes app require Touch ID to open the app. The best you can do is password lock individual notes.

Or, use Secure Notes in Keychain Access. This way, a person would need to enter your admin pass or Touch ID to see the content of a note.

How are such notes viewed on the iPhone? I believe interoperability between Mac and iPhone was indicated as an upside.
