Just look.
It’s unlocked.

A small app in your menu bar. When your Mac locks, it looks through the camera, recognises your face and types your Mac password into the real macOS field for you.

It doesn’t replace your password. Think of it as Touch ID for the moments Touch ID can’t help: the Mac on a stand, a keyboard without the sensor, or simply not wanting to reach over.

Nowhere. Recognition runs on your Mac and no camera frame is ever uploaded. Face In keeps no photos either: only a list of numbers that describe your face, encrypted on disk.

The only time the app talks to the internet is to check your licence.

Printed photos and photos on a phone screen were refused in every test: Face In looks for signs of a live person before it accepts a face. A good video of you, played on a screen, can get through. One camera can’t see depth the way Face ID does.

So treat Face In as convenience, not as extra protection. If someone might have a video of you and physical access to your Mac, stay with your password or Touch ID.

Encrypted on your Mac, with the key in your Keychain, released only by Touch ID or your Mac password. Face In reads it at the last possible moment, after it has recognised you, and types it only into the official macOS field. It never shows on screen or in a log.

That’s also why macOS asks for the Accessibility permission: sending keystrokes to the lock screen is the only way an app can unlock a Mac.

Yes, in Chrome: when it asks for Touch ID to show or fill a saved password, Face In recognises you and fills the macOS prompt for you. That’s the flow we’ve tested end to end.

Other apps use the same macOS prompt and may work too, but we only promise what we’ve tested. Passkeys and the login after a restart always need you. Available on Pro and Enterprise.

Yes, on Pro (up to 5 faces) and Enterprise. Enrol each face and decide, face by face, who may unlock the Mac, who may change the settings and which apps each person may open. Face In remembers who unlocked, so the rules follow the person.

App rules are a barrier, not a wall. They keep an everyday situation everyday, like handing the Mac to a child or a guest.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, with a camera. Built and tested on Apple silicon Macs.

Setting up means enrolling your face (it takes less than a minute), saving your Mac password once and granting the two permissions macOS asks for.

Yes. At launch, you can try all Basic features for 7 days on one Mac, with one face and no credit card. That includes unlocking the Mac, the settings lock and the activity log. It does not include Touch ID prompts or Chrome password fill.

There is no automatic payment. After the trial, choose a paid plan to keep using Face In. Your Mac password and Touch ID will still work normally.

Basic, Pro or Enterprise, paid monthly, yearly or once. Lifetime is one payment and that version of the app is yours, with nothing to renew. Monthly and yearly plans can be cancelled whenever you want; the time you paid for stays yours, and the app stops unlocking when the subscription ends.

A licence covers one Mac at a time. Moving to another Mac is your call: release it on the old one, activate it on the new one. The wording is in the Terms of Service.

You have seven days to ask for your money back, no reason needed. Payment is handled by Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record, and the refund goes back the way you paid. Full text in the Refund Policy.

And if Face In misses your face, the Mac simply stays locked and you use your password or Touch ID, as always. It never blocks the normal way in.
