SafeDesk

SafeDesk is a security-focused application designed to protect your laptop when unattended. It leverages face detection to monitor for unauthorized access, disables input devices, and triggers alarms based on user-defined settings. With SafeDesk, you can ensure your device remains secure while you're away.
