What's the best solution to lock my mac when working at a cafe or a shard work space? I don't want anything ugly or invasive, or that prevents me from closing my Mac easily
Ahh thanks but I actually meant a physical lock for when I'm at a wework for example, found this -

You can also use the Apple menu as there is a "Lock Screen" option there. You can also use the key combination of: Command + Control + Q
I would not allow my devices to be left unattended in any public space since anyone with physical access may have a way of bypassing some security measures by just connecting a USB device (yes, even to a locked Apple laptop).
I have set up a hot corner to easily lock my screen instantly. you can go into System Settings > Desktop & Dock and in the right hand panel, scroll down until you see the Hot Corners button.
and then set one of your corners to Lock Screen.
the way I have mine set, all I need to do is mouse over my bottom right corner of my desktop to instantly lock my screen.

thanks for that. I learned something new. :)
If your Mac uses a touch-bar, a pre-programmed “button” is also available to “lock screen.”
