There isn't really a good way to Lock your mac. Currently, the app uses osascript (AppleScript), but that can occassionally fail. This SO article suggests that there is a way using pmset, however, requires some additional configuring: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/159440

Figured it out using a Python script. Closing. Will be included in the next release
