Unlock your Mac in a moment

Geist uses your Mac’s built-in camera to recognize you and unlock your Mac automatically, without reaching for the keyboard or typing your password every time.

Care about privacy? So does Geist.

Everything needed to recognize you stays on your Mac. No photos or personal authentication data are sent to external servers. Geist only goes online for updates and licensing.

Only where you need it

Let Geist work everywhere, only at home, or at specific locations you trust.

Your password stays

Geist adds face unlock on top of your normal macOS login. It never replaces it, and your password always keeps working.

Honest about what’s possible

Geist uses multiple layers of spoof detection, but a Mac camera is still a regular camera without the depth and infrared hardware behind Face ID. It’s built for convenient everyday unlocking, not to replace hardware-backed biometric security.

Requirements: macOS 26.5 or later, on a MacBook with a notch. The iMac and Studio Display cameras are supported in beta.

Free trial: 7 days with every feature, no account or payment needed.
