🔐 Lockigest – Why would you have to enter a password to unlock your screen countless times a day? Lockigest is a simple idea that solves this. It will lock your screen only if a predefined pattern is not followed within a certain time.

🔐 Lockigest

Lockigest is a very primitive, manipulative security software that sets a trap instead of locking your device screen immediately to protect it from strangers.

Configuration

These two lines of code are enough to set up your Lockigest:

...
wait_time=120
countdown=5
...

The first one is the time, in seconds, that must pass before starting protection mode (setting a trap).

The second variable is a countdown that will be trigged when protection mode is activated. Locks the screen when it reaches zero. If the user moves the cursor to the predefined area, this countdown stops and disables the protection mode.

Run

./lockigest.sh 

Soon I will add a systemd service unit to run Lockigest in the background at startup.
