Instant lock
Start protection in seconds and prevent unwanted clicks, keystrokes, or changes.
A native macOS utility
Screen Locker
Your screen stays on.
Your work keeps moving.
Block mouse and keyboard input without signing out or stopping what is running in the background. Built for children, pets, displays, and every moment your Mac needs to keep working untouched.
The problem
Not every lock should stop what is happening on screen
A video is playing, a download is moving, or an important process is running. One accidental click can disrupt it all, while the system lock hides your content and asks you to sign in again.
Screen Locker adds a simple protective layer over your Mac. Content stays visible and activity continues while mouse and keyboard input is blocked.
Features
Simple control,
right when you need it
Password unlock
Only someone with the password can dismiss the lock and use the Mac again.
Scheduled locking
Choose recurring days and times for Screen Locker to activate automatically.
Printed recovery password
Print your password and keep it somewhere inconvenient, so unlocking stays possible but never impulsive.
Distraction rescue
After 15 minutes on a selected distraction site, get a gentle prompt to step away with a 15-minute lock.
Launch at login
Have Screen Locker start with your Mac so it is always ready when you need it.
Native Mac experience
A clean, fast interface that feels at home on macOS, with no complicated setup.
Local settings
Your password is secured in macOS Keychain and your preferences stay on your Mac.
A pause with a purpose
Make distraction
a little less convenient
01
Put the way out somewhere you have to mean it
Print a recovery password and leave it in your car, on a high shelf, or anywhere that adds a little healthy friction. You can always regain access, but only after deciding it is genuinely worth it.
02
Catch the moment a quick break starts to drift
Select the sites that tend to pull you in. After 15 minutes, a quiet emergency button appears in the corner of your screen, giving you one clear choice: lock for 15 minutes, reset, and decide what you actually want to do next.
03
Turn good intentions into time that is already protected
Build recurring lock blocks directly on a weekly calendar. Screen Locker starts them automatically, so focus does not depend on making the same decision again every day.
