glitchlock

This little add-on is for moolen/glithclock, I founded usefull to have a systemd user service for autostart, so added that. It uses xautolock from it can be specified the time interval to lock the screen.

The glitchy X locker. Inspired by xero/glitchlock.

For additional "security" glitchlock uses Tesseract's OCR engine to find characters on the screen and crosses them out. That's optional.

Example

Example screenlock using -censor.
