Hi Product Hunt! I built Lock on Touch for moments when you need to step away from your Mac without immediately hiding the screen.
Arm it, choose a grace period, and leave. Your Mac stays awake, but the first keyboard, trackpad, or mouse interaction locks the screen. It reads only macOS idle time never keystrokes and doesn t require Input Monitoring. There s also an optional camera photo saved locally when a touch triggers the lock.
Lock on Touch keeps your Mac awake while you step away, then locks it the instant anyone touches the keyboard, trackpad, or mouse. It reads only idle time—never what you type—and needs no Input Monitoring permission. Optional camera capture can save one photo locally when a touch triggers the lock. Free, 2 MB, signed and notarized for macOS 13+.
