Keys Off is Blue Globe Software’s popular Macintosh security product.
Keys Off makes it easy to prevent anyone from tampering with your Macintosh. Once you tell Keys Off how you want your Mac protected, pressing a single Hot Key will activate that protection. Type in the password you have chosen and the protection is removed. Version 1.3 adds many user-requested options.
Unlike a screen saver with a password, Keys Off allows your Mac to display data normally while remaining protected. Plus, the protection offered by Keys Off can be highly customized. You can lock out the keyboard, menu bar, mouse clicks, power key, command-key shortcuts, or disk insertions, individually, or in any combination you choose. This makes it perfect in situations where you want your Mac to run a program or demonstration, yet you still want to prevent anyone from tampering with it.
Many users are finding that Keys Off has become an indispensable tool in their day-to-day tasks: salespeople who want to prevent tampering with their demonstration Macs, people who want to ensure their Mac is safe while away from their desk at work, teachers who need a Macintosh to remain active without students being able to modify it, parents who want to their Mac child-proofed, and many others.
Version 1.3 adds many user-requested features, including:
- an optional password alert box to remind you when Keys Off is active. fully tested with MacOS 8.5.
- support for MacOS 8.5 Navigation Services.
- integration with Ken McLeod’s “BlackWatch” screen saver.
- Keys Off can now hide what you are working on whenever it activates. a fix for a bug that would cause some machines to crash when the shareware reminder message appeared.
