# Wardlume

> Wardlume is a free (for noncommercial use) macOS menu-bar app for "botsitting": it locks the keyboard, mouse, and trackpad behind an animated glass shield while the screen stays visible, so AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and other long-running work keep going in full view while you step away. Unlock with Touch ID, Apple Watch, or your password. Local-only: no network, analytics, or accounts.

- Requirements: macOS Tahoe 26+, Apple Silicon
- Install: `brew tap arpitagarwal1301/tap && brew trust arpitagarwal1301/tap && brew install --cask wardlume`
- Default shortcuts: ⌘⇧L activate, ⌘⇧U unlock. ⌘⌥Esc (Force Quit) always works.
