LokMe is a macOS menu bar app that displays full-screen animated lock-style previews using dynamic motion effects. It works as a privacy-focused visual shield for moments when you want to step away from your computer, present your screen, record, stream, or create a clean animated display without showing your desktop content.

The app lives in the macOS system menu bar, where you can open the preview window, choose animation effects, configure an auto-start timer from 1 to 15 minutes, and manage the experience without keeping a standard app window open. LokMe makes these animated privacy previews possible by using Vanta animation effects from GitHub alongside native macOS behavior.
