SuperWatchDogScenario guide · Urgent protection
Someone approaches. There is no time to switch windows.
Sometimes you did not forget to lock your PC—you simply cannot interact with it at that moment. Prepare a trigger and protection actions in advance, then use one natural action when it matters.
Real situations
The problem is more than forgetting to lock the PC
Someone suddenly walks over
Chats, photos, or work documents are still open, with no time to close them one by one.
Interaction is inconvenient
Your hands are away from the keyboard, or switching windows would be conspicuous.
You must leave immediately
There is no time to configure anything; the trigger must already be ready.
Smart triggers
Choose what you can naturally do in the moment
You do not need every option. Pick the one that best matches your routine.
Gesture
When reaching the keyboard or mouse is inconvenient.
One-click
When the mouse is still within reach.
Keyboard shortcut
When your hands are already near the keyboard.
USB removal
When you need to take the device and leave.
Already away or forgot to act? Bluetooth disconnect and away detection work better as follow-up triggers.
Protection flow
Trigger once, then run the actions you prepared
Start
Use an enabled trigger.
Protect visible content
Hide the interface, lock the PC, or run other selected actions.
Lock file vaults
A password is required to open them again.
File vaults
Protect what is visible and what is stored
Content currently on screen
Use prepared protection actions for current windows and the desktop.
Private files that need ongoing protection
Place them in a file vault beforehand. A password is required after it is locked.
Get started
Prepare three things
- Store filesPlace local files that need ongoing protection in a vault.
- Choose a triggerPick one primary trigger that feels natural.
- Try it firstConfirm the actions, countdown, and timing fit your routine.
What does gesture triggering require?
An available camera and explicit user activation are required.
Can protection actions affect unsaved work?
Actions that close windows, lock the PC, or restart it should be selected as needed and tried before regular use.
What if I forget a vault password?
Keep the password and recovery materials safe so recovery remains available when needed.
How is a boss key different from a regular shortcut?
A boss key depends on a last-second keyboard or mouse action. SuperWatchDog can start protection from preconfigured conditions, reducing the inconvenience and conspicuousness of a manual reaction. Read the core difference →
