A simple, open-source program to keep your PC active and open for a specified amount of time, then automatically lock your computer.
LOCTight was inspired by a real-world need: a professor who struggled to keep their computer awake during lectures, but also wanted the machine to lock automatically when stepping away. This tool is designed to solve exactly that problem—keeping your computer awake when you need it, and locking it when you don't.
- Keeps your computer active for a user-defined period
- Automatically locks your workstation after the timer expires
- Extensively tested on Windows
- macOS and Linux support coming soon!
LOCTight is released under the MIT License, so you are free to use, modify, and distribute it.
