Start Screen Saver is an application for easily starting the screen saver. All you do is click the icon. Once the screen saver has started the program will exit.

This app helps you lock your screen quickly and easily. Although it’s simple I use it all the time myself.

Features
* Easy to see icon
* One click startup
* Easy to setup secure lock screen password. Preferences > Security > Require password after screen saver starts

Price – $.99 (Mac)
