Sentry is ideal for people in workplaces, who may have to leave their system unexpectedly, and don't want co-workers to snoop around in their files. It's also great for teachers, parents, etc, who don't want the kids messing with their computers if it's left on.

Sentry takes messages from people who dropped by your workstation while you were away. Customize the appearance of your screen while Sentry is running, and have your favorite screen savers run within Sentry.
