Focus Lock is a modern, system-wide file and application locker for Windows 11 designed to help you maintain focus and privacy. Unlike simple file hiders, Focus Lock physically secures your files using NTFS permissions while leaving a "Secure Shortcut" on your desktop for easy, password-protected access.
- 🛡️ Secure Shortcuts: Your files are hidden and locked, replaced by a secure shortcut. Click the shortcut, enter your password, and the file opens instantly.
- 🧠 Smart Auto-Lock: The intelligent Watchdog detects when you close the file or application (using Window Title and Process heuristics) and instantly re-locks it in the background.
- 🎨 Modern UI: built with specific Windows 11 aesthetics in mind using
customtkinter. - 🔐 Military-Grade Logic:
- NTFS Deny Permissions: Files are physically locked at the filesystem level.
- Data Obfuscation: Your database of locked items is encrypted and hidden to prevent tampering.
- Password Hashing: Your master password is securely hashed using
bcrypt.
- ⚡ Zero Friction: No need to open the main app to access files. Just click your file, type password, and go.
- Prerequisites: Python 3.10+
- Install Dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
