Compiling...

Keep your AI agent running.
Keep your Mac locked.

The macOS lock screen kills Accessibility APIs, screen capture, and GUI automation. Any computer-use agent breaks mid-run. Compiling... keeps macOS unlocked for your agent while looking locked to anyone walking past.

You shouldn't have to choose

Keep-awake tools leave your screen exposed. The lock screen kills your agent. Pick one. Or don't.

Auto mode
Activates after 1, 5, 10, or 15 min idle. Like a screensaver. Or press ⌘⇧L to activate instantly.
🖥
Every display
Covers all connected monitors simultaneously. No gaps, no exposed screens.
🔐
Real authentication
Click Unlock and macOS prompts you: password, Touch ID, or Apple Watch.

How it works

1
Set a timer or hotkey
Choose auto mode (1–15 min idle) or activate manually with ⌘⇧L.
2
Walk away
A full-screen overlay covers every display. Keyboard, mouse, ⌘Tab, Force Quit: all blocked. Your agent keeps running at full speed.
3
Come back and unlock
Move the mouse, click Unlock. macOS handles authentication with your password, Touch ID, or Apple Watch.
