Lock your desktop, take photos of intruders

Feeling uneasy leaving your Mac unattended?

RedHand lets you lock your desktop. Keep your session--no logout required. Whenever someone locks your computer or enters an invalid password, RedHand keeps track of it. Best of all: This information is accompanied by a photo, taken with your built-in iSight camera or any other video capturing device you may have connected to your computer. When you unlock your Mac, you will be shown the list of events.

You may activate it via hot key, Dock icon or menu status item.

@zacharyotte : I finally found the bug. Another user experiencing the same behaviour helped me to analyse the problem. Version 1.3 contains the fix.

Hi! Interesting observation. I've had not a single bug report regarding this issue. As a regular Skype user I'm really surprised. Which version (RedHand and Skype) do you use?

I do no recommend. As soon as I downloaded it I had problems with my isight. It would not work in skype. Removed redhand and it worked again. Good idea though.
