Introduction:
Use your mobile phone (or any other bluetooth-enabled portable device) to remember the user for locking the Mac before leaving the desk.
When you walk away from your Mac without locking the screen, it will automatically launch a message to inform you that you have forgotten an essential behaviour within an unsafe environment: to lock the screen.
Optionally youll be informed regarding any activities by sound and/or notification.
How to start:
- Activate the bluetooth hardware on your Mac,
- select the Apps Preferences from the title menu bar,
- choose the appropriate bluetooth device to be watched,
- save the settings by closing the preferences window with the OK button.
- You will notice the readiness of the application by the changed title menu icon from questionmark to the open lock (or, in case of an unreachable device, a closed lock).
Environment:
The screenLock App has been developed on the newest version of Apples operating system. But, of course, it works well on the versions:
OS X El Capitan (10.11)
macOS Sierra (10.12)
Perspective:
- In near future, the integration of automaticly locking and unlocking will be added.
