Handy tool to prevent apps to launch without a password. Works well if more users use one account. Feature request: schedules would be an awesome addition.

It becomes easier to keep the apps safe with iLock. Now nobody can use my apps without my permission. This app is useful when one mac has many users as in my case.

Fine working security client to password protect apps. Amazing simple to setup. If you need to protect certain apps, this is just what you need.

Our iMac is used by all family members with only one login. Yes, we can of course use a login for each user but we choose not to do so (for various reasons). iLock does a neat job keeping our kids from launching some apps. Great product !

Works for most apps, I guess, but not all. I need to block the Time Machine in /Applications, i.e. not the Time Machine backup service—only the app itself… but that doesn't work. When I try to drag the "Time Machine.app" file into the iLock window, iLock doesn't do anything. Instead Time Machine app launches.

Like comment of Doncho Indzhov, I have a problem with iLock, too.
I do not use the sleep mode.
Sometimes iLock does not work after rebooting or turn on.
At this time, like comment of Doncho Indzhov, hotkey does not function. and iLock application also does not work. Then, I have to reboot in order to solve this problem.
It is certain that it has a problem.

I have a problem with iLock. When I hide application from menu bar. Application is still hidden from everywhere. I can't access to window with settings. When I use "hotkey" the result is nothing. How can now I open the application settings window?

I'd like an app that prevented all apps to open files from a set of certain folders during certain time periods. A kind of time lock of the content in folders. I'd prefer to only lock execution. There anything like that out in the Mac universe?

GEM Alert ! Easy to set up with a dead simple GUI. Great tool to protect individual apps. It is pretty cool you can protect one application for free. I only have to protect one application so no need to buy this. :-)
