Hidden Lock Screen App (LockScreen.app)

Hey guys, this matches go on. Today, I'm going to be teaching you about an app that's been on your computer but you've never noticed it. It's called Lock Screen. Lock Screen is pretty cool; it allows you to lock your screen, but there's no way to unlock your screen—no password, no nothing. It's normally used for remote desktop, where you can remotely kill it, but say you can't, you're just locked out.

So, I'm going to be teaching you how to use this application to your advantage. First of all, you want to press the Finder icon, the Go menu on the top, say "Go to folder." Now paste the following path in: I will have this path in the description of this video, so: /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.app/Contents/Support. Now you click "Go."

Now you're in this folder with a few applications. We had some guests: Donna, H, Helper, Right Settings, Me, and C Privilege Proxy, and our favorite, Lock Screen. That app, here's all you need to do to make this effective: Copy it, copy-paste it to your desktop.

Now, when you open it, your screen will lock up, and you won't be able to get back out, and you'll have to shut down in the end to get back. So we're going to go into Terminal and make it so every five seconds, Terminal will try to quit your application. You can use Terminal or iTerm; in this case, actually, I'm using iTerm, so you can also use Terminal. Thank you!

So now all you need to do is type: while true; do killall LockScreen; sleep 10; done. This code will be in the description of this video. Please note that once you run this, every 10 seconds Lock Screen will be closing. You can change the number 10 in this code to be 20 for 20 seconds or 0.5 for half a second if that's what you want.

Now all you need to do is hit enter. Now, every time you see this "no matching process," it's starting a new round of 10 seconds. So when the next "no matching processes" comes up, I'm going to double-click this.

So, as you can see, there's a lock on my screen and I cannot move my mouse or touch my keyboard. So it just quit right there because of this little Terminal app running stuff. That was pretty cool, and I think that Lock Screen is very effective.

If you want to just go to the bathroom for 30 seconds and don't want someone your screen sharing with to mess with you, you can also SSH to your computer and then kill Lock Screen if that's how you want to do it. That way, it's not on a timer like this Terminal command.

So, that's how to access Lock Screen, that app on your computer. Thank you for watching! Mad kids on the one, please subscribe in Gabon.
