When people “Switch” to the Mac, they often look for a one-keystroke or one-key-combo screen locker.
And they’re often disappointed to find that the operating system only provides a two-click solution: add the Keychain Access menu item to the menubar, and then use “Lock Screen”.
So in came Menno Pieters, who built LockTight from Raging Menace’s SleepTight code.
…but it doesn’t work under Mac OS X for Intel-based hardware. Until now…because I got frustrated with myself for not having done it earlier…
Presenting the Intel-compatible re-compile of LockTight.
Menno’s source code has been recompiled with XCode on an Intel based Macintosh, and contains all the original source code and licensing information as required.
