BlueLife KeyFreeze

In the eventuality that you have a toddler or a pet, then we do not need to tell you that sometimes leaving your keyboard unlocked is a recipe for disaster. From the risk of deleting files and losing work to creating statuses that are hard to explain on social networks, leaving your computer unlocked can lead to a lot of issues.

BlueLife KeyFreeze is a small utility that enables you to lock your keyboard and mouse separately or together without locking your screen at the same time.

The setup is quick and straightforward as it entails decompressing the archive and then accessing the utility that is supported by your Windows version. The program comes with a minimalistic interface and can be minimized to System Tray.

You should know that the application enables you to lock only the mouse or keyboard, a feature that can be activated and deactivated by employing a key combination. You can also lock all keys available with your computer, including the multimedia keyboard and mouse keys, in case you have set shortcuts that include the aforementioned keys.

It is worth mentioning that the application enables you to set a countdown and play a sound before locking your keys, so you are unlikely to block the devices by mistake. On the other hand, you cannot stop the process once it has started, an option that can be slightly irritating if you set the counter for several seconds.

You can set the utility to automatically lock the keys when your system is idle for certain minutes. The feature can come in handy when you need to answer the door or attend to a task that might take a while and you are forced to leave your computer unattended.

If you are looking for a solution to lock and unlock your keyboard, but that still allows you to use the screen, then perhaps BlueLife KeyFreeze might come in handy.
