Description

Locks an X11 session with a design focused on reducing common screen-locker mistakes. It is useful for users who want a dedicated locker for lightweight desktops or custom window-manager sessions.

It protects local access only while the X session and locker are behaving correctly. Configure authentication, suspend behavior, and startup hooks carefully before relying on it on shared or unattended systems.

How to run

xsecurelock

Commands: xsecurelock
