Sonar Power Manager (SPM) is an interesting idle power management software for laptop users.  No addon device is required for your laptop to detect your absence and perform power management you set:

• laptop energy saving mode
• sleep
• turn off screen

Detectable distance is around 2.43m.  SPM is a great alternative to default Windows Power Manager(WPM) for movie/tv show lovers.  Moving the mouse time by time to prevent the screen saver is annoying and it’s always unsafe without a screen saver or lock on laptop with sensitive business or private data.

It’s also a great utility to protect sensitive data when you leave your screen unlocked. WPM takes a while to lock the screen even idle detection set as 1 minute. SPM is able to lock it immediately you are 2-3M away from your laptop. Turning on both WPM and SPM is the best screen autolock solution I found so far.
