Hey everyone, I’m Akshith. I wanted face unlock on my Mac, so I built MacID.
You wake your Mac, look at the camera, and press Return on the empty password field. If MacID recognizes you, you’re in. Recognition runs entirely on your Mac, and your face data stays there and your password still works normally.
I wrote about the technical details to get this working with interactive diagrams, at https://akshith.io/notes/macid.

I’d love to hear how it works on your Mac, what feels awkward, and what you’d improve. Happy to answer questions about how it works too!
