Lock Me is a simple status bar application that allows you to lock your screen.
I wrote this app to get familiar with Xcode 4, since the handling is quite different to Xcode 3. Anyway, it is a simple app and can do only one thing: lock your screen. :-)
There are 3 global shortcut options:
As a gimmick, you can choose the color of the icon which is shown in the status bar...
...but even better than that - it's FREE!

When you click on the icon in the task bar you are presented with "Lock Me", "Icon", "Start At Login", "About", and "Quit". They do the obvious functions.
The only con I see is that it is a 64 Bit app and takes 8.0M of memory; a 32 Bit may require significantly less.
It is easy to use, it works, and I like it!

Not everyone keeps the screensaver lock on all of the time. I don't like it myself for most daily use. I generally only turn it on when there are visitors over, especially with children. As you can guess, this iMac is a home machine. Most of the time I'm alone, but sometimes my college-age daughter is here and some of her friends with her. Some of them simply can't resist "helping" with an available computer - mine is in our dining room.
Does this help you see a use for this - free - program?

Of course, you don't get the convenience of a keyboard shortcut...

I'm sure that clever people can find multiple ways to do most anything; that is part of what makes using an OS so difficult is that there many ways of doing something, quite a few users find them obscure.
It is often difficult to choose one way and settle on it because someone else will pipe up with their favorite way to do that thing, further confusing - or perhaps clarifying the issue. In any event the noise level can become significant.
The usefulness of this app is its simplicity.
As is frequently said "your mileage may vary".
Happy New Year Everyone!
