Jordan P.How It Works
1. Quick Setup
Grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions. TapUnlock runs silently in your menu bar.
2. Record Your Pattern
Use the 2x2 grid to map out a sequence of taps and swipes. Your custom combination is stored securely.
3. Wake and Unlock
When the screen locks, just perform your tap pattern. TapUnlock types your password directly into the login screen.
Why TapUnlock?
Let's be real: TouchID fails the second your hands are slightly wet, cold, or too dry. A gesture is mental—it doesn't rely on a sensor's mood. It's the 'secret knock' that always works on the first try.
If you use your Mac on a stand or with the lid closed, reaching over to the laptop sensor is a pain. TapUnlock lets you enter your password directly from the trackpad you’re already using, keeping you in the flow.
Fingerprints are biometric data collectors left on every surface you touch. Unlike biometrics—which can be legally subpoenaed in many jurisdictions—your pattern lives only in your head. It’s security by knowledge, not by physical presence.
Whether you're rocking a classic Intel model or the new MacBook Neo that skipped the TouchID sensor, TapUnlock adds that premium, instant-access feeling back to your desk setup.
