Lock Me Now is a handy tool for locking your Mac's screen. While there are built-in options to help you do this, sometimes they just don't cut it. For instance, you can set up hot corners to trigger your screensaver or put your Mac to sleep, which then prompts for your password. But what if you want something different?
Next time you step away from your desk, simply launch the screensaver or use sleep mode. Your Mac will be safe with your account's password! If you're using those corners for other things or don't want a screensaver running, Lock Me Now steps in as a cool alternative.
This little app sits in your status bar but can be hidden if you prefer. You can even set a keyboard shortcut to lock your screen without any visible reminders popping up.
You get options on how you want to lock things down: Just Lock or Login Window. The Just Lock feature dims your screen and asks for your password to unlock it. On the other hand, the Login Window shows all user accounts, so you can pick which one to log into.
A cool bonus? In the Security Preferences tab, you can customize settings so that if someone messes up entering the password, Lock Me Now snaps a photo of them! Plus, it can send you an email alerting you about it. Talk about being security savvy!
You can also set Lock Me Now to start automatically when you log in. It has neat features like pausing iTunes when it locks and using whatever screensaver preferences you've already set.
The best part? It can auto-lock when a chosen Bluetooth device gets out of range or when you disconnect an iOS device from USB while working on your Mac!
If you're not loving the built-in tools for locking down your Mac's screen, give Lock Me Now a try!
