Project overview

FaceGate adds per-application locking to macOS and can authenticate with local face recognition, Touch ID, or a password. It supports liveness challenges, multiple enrolled faces, external cameras, and configurable unlock sessions for individual apps, with recognition and credential handling kept on the Mac. The app is not Apple-notarized, so manual installation requires removing its Gatekeeper quarantine attribute.
