FaceGate is a native macOS open-source applocker that brings FaceUnlock to your Mac. Lock sensitive applications behind FaceUnlock, Touch ID, or a secure password — all processed entirely on-device with zero telemetry.
macOS natively lacks the ability to restrict individual applications. Although other App-lockers exist, none of them use face recognition and are not as feature rich as FaceGate.
All controls in your hands - 100% free & open source , 100% malware free , 100% local .

## Features
- **App Locking** — Lock any installed app. FaceGate intercepts launches in real-time and prevents access until authenticated.
- **On-Device Face Recognition** — Software-based face embedding pipeline running entirely on your Mac via the Apple Neural Engine. No cloud, no data leaving your device.
- **Multi-Face Enrollment** — Enroll up to 3 different faces or alternate looks.
- **External Camera Support** — Use an external USB webcam instead of the built-in camera.
- **Liveness Detection** — Head-pose challenges (turn left, turn right, tilt) to prevent photo and video spoofing.
- **Touch ID** — Seamless integration with macOS Touch ID.
- **Password** — Encrypted PIN stored in the macOS Keychain.
- **Per-App Session Timers** — Customizable unlock duration per app, with timer modes: count from last unlock or from when the app loses focus. Includes "Keep Unlocked Indefinitely" and "Lock immediately"
- **Lock-on-Sleep** — Automatically lock all apps when your Mac sleeps or the screen locks.
- **Uninstall Protection** — Prevents casual deletion by making the app bundle immutable and requires Admin Privileges to uninstall.
- **Scheduled App-Lock/Unlock** — Time-based auto-lock and auto-unlock windows.
- **FaceUnlock Schedule** — Disable face recognition during specific hours (e.g., when dark or in public spaces) to automatically fallback to Touch ID/Password.
- **Auto-Optimization** — Automatically boost display brightness and trigger Center Stage to improve camera visibility and face detection accuracy.
- **Customizable Sensitivity** — Fine-tune face recognition similarity thresholds to balance convenience and security.
- **Menu Bar Control** — Monitor locked/unlocked apps and lock them directly from the menu bar popup.
- **Secure Operations** — Require authentication to quit the application or configure settings to prevent unauthorized tampering.
- **Emergency Kill Hotkey** — Global keyboard shortcut to instantly terminate.
- **Menu Bar Agent** — Runs silently in the menu bar — no Dock icon, no distractions.
