An invisible (fake) screen lock for macOS.
Do not use this app if you want to safely lock your macOS!
The locking mechanism of this app can possibly be circumvented!
- Adds an invisible screen lock
- Takes a picture (and saves it in your "Pictures" folder) if someone triggers the lock
- Mouse movements
- Keyboard inputs[1]
[1] Only works if you allow the app to control your computer. You will be asked about this permission when you first start the app. You can manually set it in "System preferences > Security > Privacy > Accessiblity".
There is currently no official download.
You have to build this app on your own with Xcode. You can download a development build from the release page.

- Click on "Activate lock", the invisible lock will be active after one second
