Moonlock by MacPaw Wins Red Dot Award 2026

Since its launch in October 2025, Moonlock, a cybersecurity application by MacPaw, has distinguished itself with a user-friendly approach that makes online protection accessible to everyone. Designed to break away from the technical and intimidating tone often associated with security software, Moonlock offers an intuitive interface, plain-spoken instructions, and hand-drawn illustrations. These elements aim to simplify the experience of cybersecurity, making it a natural part of everyday life rather than a source of stress.

Oleg Stukalenko, Head of Product Management at Moonlock, explained the company's vision: "Cybersecurity has a reputation for being intimidating, alerts and jargon, with the sense that you need to be an expert just to stay safe. We built Moonlock to change that. From the start, we wanted it to feel human and welcoming, so that online protection becomes a natural part of everyday life rather than something people worry about."

MacPaw, a global technology company founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, with offices in Boston, MA, and the EU, has a history of design excellence. Moonlock is the fourth Red Dot Award winner for the company, following Gemini 2 in 2017, CleanMyMac in 2021, and CleanMy®Phone in 2024. The Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design celebrates the craft behind how a product looks, feels, and speaks to the people who use it. The competition, held since 1993, is open to established and emerging designers, agencies, and companies across 18 categories.

Moonlock is a part of MacPaw's ecosystem, which offers simple, approachable, and stress-free Mac protection and antivirus capabilities.
