MollyGuard

MollyGuard is perfect for anyone who has a furry friend or kids at home! If you've ever had to worry about your Mac when you step away, this little app has your back. It sits right in your status bar and makes sure your computer stays safe, no matter who's around.

Keep Your Mac Safe

So, what does MollyGuard do? It's super simple! It blocks any input from your keyboard or mouse. You just use the hotkey (Control+Option+Command+L) to lock or unlock everything in a snap. No complicated steps here!

Status Made Easy

You can quickly check if MollyGuard is on or off by looking at its icon in the status bar: it shows black for unlocked and red when it's locked. And if you want to customize it, head over to the Preferences window where you can choose between three different icons: dot, lock, or key.

Customize Your Settings

In that same Preferences area, you can decide whether to block just the keyboard or both the keyboard and mouse. Plus, you get to keep those media keys working if you'd like!

Easy Access Control

If you're still using the mouse while MollyGuard is active, you can change its settings directly from the menubar. But if not, you'll need that hotkey combo (Control+Option+Command+L) to unlock your Mac again.

Simple Setup Instructions

To get started with MollyGuard, don't forget to enable access for Assistive Devices through your System Preferences. If you're using Mac OS X Mavericks and aren't sure how to do this, check out our editor's article. We make it easy for you!

A Minimalist Solution

MollyGuard is all about being minimalist but effective. It offers basic functionality that proves super handy in lots of situations.
