A macOS app locker uses Apple’s Neural Engine for fully on-device face unlock
Someone built what is described as the world’s first face-unlock app locker for macOS.
- The app uses Apple’s Neural Engine to recognize your face.
- Recognition happens entirely on-device.
- Users can lock individual apps on their Mac, instead of protecting the whole machine.
The pitch is a privacy-friendly local security tool rather than a cloud-based authentication product.
