Smart Key Locker

A lightweight, system-tray based application for Windows to lock your keyboard and mouse input, preventing unintended actions. It can be triggered manually via a hotkey or automatically after a period of inactivity

✨ Features

• System Tray Control: Runs silently in the system tray, showing the current status with its icon (🟢 Unlocked / 🔴 Locked).
• Hotkey Lock & Unlock: Use customizable global hotkeys to instantly lock (Default: Ctrl+Alt+L) and securely unlock (Default: Ctrl+Alt+P) your inputs.
• Auto-Lock Timer: Automatically locks the screen if there's no mouse or keyboard activity for a set duration.
• Total Input Blocking: When locked, all keyboard presses and mouse actions are completely blocked.
• Easy Configuration: A simple right-click menu provides access to a settings panel where you can change hotkeys and the inactivity timeout.

🚀 How to Get Started

1. Navigate to the Releases page of this repository.
2. Download the latest KeyLocker.exe file.
