TokenLock 4.xx is the latest version: Update on App store vs Download
We have managed to get all the features from the 5.x version into the App Store 4.xx versions, and so we have merged them together.
This means the 4.xx versions of Token lock are indeed the official latest versions :-)
Support now upgraded to helpdesk software

TokenLock 5.13 features
We are working on the features for TokenLock 5.13:
Using the TokenLock built in locking mechanism now adds:
- Preview lock screen in settings tab that appears if the built in lock is selected.
- Drop in a new background image (Drag and drop onto screen preview in settings)
- Change the brightness of the background image.
- Turn on or off fading (breathing effect) of the background.
- Allow Mac screen to sleep
- Allow Mac to sleep
Additional alert settings - allows you to choose the sounds you want for lock, unlock, out of range warning and the "Ping" sound TokenLock makes when it is searching for your device after your Mac wakes up.
If you have "Give me the latest updates, not just major versions." turned on you will receive the Beta versions including these features.
TokenLock 5.11 build posted
This new version adds two more locking types, bringing the number of ways you can lock your mac to four… and one option not to lock at all. This was added mainly for simplicity for users:
Lock using TokenLock
This is the simplest lock, and just throws up a screen with the TokenLock logo and an area where you can enter your password to unlock. (Or bring your device back in range/plug your device back in)
Lock using Display Sleep
Similar to Screen Saver lock, this simply puts the display to sleep.
It also fixes compatibility for 32bit and OSX 10.6 systems.
For first-time users we changed the initial screens to ask whether you want Power or Simplicity and based ont he answer, we preset some things for you.
TokenLock and Keycard
This has been an interesting week. The Mac (and other) news channels were all over a "New and revolutionary" App that locks your Mac when your iPhone is out of bluetooth range. TokenLock has been around literally for years, (before Sept 2010) but apparently wasn't "Discovered" by the reviewers.
Strangely the number of TokenLock downloads also bumped significantly, which isnt a surprise since we have far more functionality at half the price of their "Sale price"
At any rate, if you like TokenLock, please spread the word - a lot of folks are not aware of what we do, apparently.
"Token Lock is a really cool app, I wish I had it seen earlier so that I didn't spend almost 6 Euros for the KeyCard app which does less than 10 Percent of your app."

Here is my original Sep 2010 video talking about TokenLock (then called BleuLock)
iPhone 5 versions of Our software have been submitted!
iPhone 5 has now officially been announced, with little change for us at Map-Pin aside from supporting the newer, longer display.
We have submitted updated versions of all our iOS software, and will wait for Apple to approve the changes.
Approved and on the store so far:

Wow, users giving us one star raings because Apple has not released our Mountain Lion compatible versions...
Amazing.
Mountain Lion is in Beta, it is only available to delevopers and Apple just started taking App Submissions for Mountain Lion on July 9th.
With a two-week process for clearing the Apple App Store review process, almost no apps are up yet.
Despite this, we are getting "1 star" reviews from folks who have Mountain Lion installed because some of our apps tell you they've not been tested and released for Mountain Lion, and stop.
As a result we now have links in our app description to our beta on this site.
TokenLock updated
We have updated tokenlock in such a way as to avoid the dreaded black screen of no return… but as a result you may see tokenlock pressing enter and then entering your password - this is unavoidable, but makes the solution in general much more reliable.
MediaTransfer Server 1.11 Submitted to the app store
We have submitted version 1.11 to the App store - this version of the server side allows you to choose to import your pictures and videos right into iPhoto...
MediaTransfer FTP v 1.13has been submitted to the App Store
This version adds a new wildcard for the custom filename suffix section: %N
Entering this in that field will insert a 5 digit, sequential serial number. When the number is larger than 99999 it wraps and becomes 00000 again.
