Manage updates with the Download AppPublisher's Description
From soma-zone:
RedHand locks your computer. Manually via global hot key, menu bar or dock. Automatically after a period of inactivity (much like a screensaver), depending on the presence of a Bluetooth device, or whenever your computer goes to sleep. Whenever someone tries to gain access to your computer, RedHand takes a photo and informs you about it. You even get to know the passwords the intruder tried. You don't have to think about locking your computer. You don't even have to remember your password. Use your phone as the key. Just tell RedHand to look for a specific Bluetooth device. If you leave the room your computer will be locked. As soon as you are back you'll find it unlocked. Unlocking via password still works&just in case your mobile ran out of juice. With its ability to execute scripts AppleScript or anything you could launch via command line) RedHand lets you perform any action you want: send an email or play an audio file when an invalid password was entered. Perform maintenance tasks when the computer was locked. Its up to you. The scripts can access the photo taken.
What's new in this version: Some preferences options could not be modified (introduced in 1.9.2).

"Doesn't yet work with iPhones to auto lock/unlock"
Version: RedHand 1.8.1
Pros
Awesome concept!
Cons
Doesn't yet work with iPhones to auto lock/unlock, which is it's most attractive feature, unless you first put the app into Discovery mode by going to Settings > General > Bluetooth! Far easier just to type in your password. I also doesn't work with screen savers as there can only be one app running at a time.
The developer said they are working on getting the iPhone to work even when the iPhone isn't in discovery mode. Once this is done, it will be an awesome.Summary
This app has such great potential! The ability to get up and walk out of the room with your iPhone in your pocket and have you Mac lock itself after a preset time and then have it automatically when you walk back in again with your phone would be such an awesome app! This app isn't quite there yet but hopefully the developers will get this working for iPhones and it will be an amazing app.

"Windows screenshot? Of another program?"
Version: RedHand 1.6.1
Pros
You could at least make your own screens if you claim that you have tested the app. Very poor job on your part. It was a lot better on VersionTracker.
Cons
no screenshots.

"locked up my computer"
Version: RedHand 1.6
Pros
good concept
Cons
screen locked and would not respond to any password. Had to restart.
Summary
not a good idea if you can't unlock the screen!
