Lockdown: Secure Your Mac

Lockdown is a Mac security application built from the popular iAlertU. With a new interface, splash screen, and icon, Lockdown makes securing your Mac while you step away even easier than ever. You can customize its detection features by activating your computer's motion-sensors, keyboard-sensors, external device sensors, MagSafe sensors, and more to ensure that not even the slightest tap goes unnoticed.

Once your alarm has been set off, your computer will sound a loud alarm and prevent the system from being muted or put to sleep. Lockdown will take a snapshot of the offender using your computer's built in iSight and, if you've entered your e-mail address, e-mail the snapshot to the account of your choice.

Using a password or your Apple Remote, you can arm and disarm Lockdown from anywhere in the room. Start the application and simply click the "Lock" icon in your menu bar and select "Lockdown" or hold down the "Menu" button on your Apple Remote to arm the system. Type in your password and press enter or hold down the "Menu" button once more to disarm it and resume using your computer.

Requirements: Lockdown will work with any computer that has Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) but, to take advantage of everything that Lockdown has to offer, you'll need to be on a Mac with a built in iSight, a configured e-mail account in Mail, and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). Earlier versions of OS X are not supported (Tiger, Panther, etc.) and due to my schedule Snow Leopard is not supported at this time. To ensure that Lockdown is always running, click on "System Preferences" followed by "Accounts." Click on your account, then click the "Login Items" tab at the top. Click the "+" button and locate Lockdown. Current Version: 1.0.6 Download: Click Here To Download Lockdown (748Kb)
