DESCRIPTION

RedHand lets you lock your desktop. Keep your session -- no logout required. Whenever someone enters an invalid password, RedHand keeps track of it. Best of all: This information is accompanied by a photo, taken with your built-in iSight camera or any other video capturing device you may have connected to your computer. When you unlock your Mac, you will be shown a neat list of events.

You may activate it via hot key, Dock icon or menu status item.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3.1:
  • Bug fix: RedHand could simply be quit (Cmd-Q) while locked. (D'oh!)
REQUIREMENTS
  • Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
  • iSight or other video capturing device (optional)

FARIBORZ  This is really a nifty utility that can be accessed either by menu selection or via a hot key to hide your screen from curious eyes. Black and white colors fade in and out in a very smooth and elegant way. The price is right and its author has full trust in his customers i.e. no serial number or software key is needed. I gladly paid for it after a few minutes of testing its features. Highly recommended! Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

ROBOTANK  Nice little utility. Takes pictures on lock and unlock of the screen, and allows you to set a time for it to refuse further input after failed password attempts. It can be activated by a global keyboard short cut, allowing for very quick locking. One thing worth noting is that it doesn't use the OS X screen lock (what you'd get if you set your computer to require a password to wake from screen saver), so it requires its own password to be set. Anyway, I prefer it to locking my screen the old fashioned way, and I didn't much mind paying the $2.40 (Canadian) for it.
