LockOut can call your cell phone if someone attempts to break into your Mac.

That's right! LockOut can optionally send an email to two separate email accounts whenever there's a break-in attempt. And if your cell phone has email text messaging, the email message can go directly to your cell phone.

Resistant to system commands such as force-quit and command-tab.

Once LockOut is in secure mode, there is no way to force-quit it or switch to another application. Your Mac is secure from intruders until the correct password is entered.

A complete security solution for one low price!

People can leave messages for you.

When used with Apple's Open Firmware Password application, no one can reboot from another volume without first entering your password.

And more.

Made for OS X.

Completely rewritten in Cocoa for OS 10.4 and above.

Who uses LockOut?

The British Broadcasting Corporation, Dow Jones, the Gap, and many other corporations use LockOut to help secure their Macs. You can too.

Here's what people say about LockOut:

I think you hit it right on the head. This latest version is down right special. I love it. My customers might not like it but it sure will save me from having to go back and reinstall it or reconfigure it cause they wanted to play. Keep up the outstanding work I'm glad we purchased the site license for this product. It is worth probably a lot more than you are asking for it. Wayne H, Hanover, MD.

I'm a writer, TV mainly, and I drag my G3 lap-top around hotels and studios all over the country (UK). LockOut is a beautiful programme. Nice and simple, and simply keeps prying eyes off my scripts. -- Leslie S.

I really like the product. It saved me a lot of grief while I was on vacation and didn't want people "messing" in my files. One person here has the touch-of-death on computers and I wanted to make sure he didn't kill mine! I am recommending LockOut to others. Thanks again. -- Christine L.

I think that (LockOut) is great since living alone and an artist/businessman with a maid service that has access to my apartment room here affords the paranoia of wondering if anyone might be accessing info. or tampering with my PowerMac while I am away at work. Jerry B.

I'm finding (LockOut) very useful - nothing like having a simple thing that does its job well and easily. Jan A. W.
