App Lock first.
Face unlock, optional.

Being built for the everyday handover: showing a document, sharing a browser, or letting someone choose the music.

App privacy

Know what’s protected.

Choose private apps, see their lock status, and set when they should lock again.

Easy access

Get back to your apps.

The planned flow supports macOS Touch ID or password verification, with optional face verification.

Quiet by design

Quiet in the background.

Designed around event-driven monitoring and camera activity limited to verification attempts.

Your rules

Your rules. Your choice.

Control relocking for each app. Set up Mac unlocking separately, or leave it off.

Hover, focus, or tap a feature to explore.

Native-app design goals. Reliability, unlock speed, and battery use still need testing.

A few details.

Can I download Onlyward?

Not yet. Onlyward is in early development. This page lets you explore the planned experience; it is not the native application. Follow the GitHub project for updates.

Does this demo actually recognize me?

No. It plays through simulated states. It does not request camera access, recognize faces, save passwords, or protect installed apps.

Does App Lock need my saved Mac password?

The planned App Lock flow can use macOS Touch ID or account-password verification without saving your login password. Saving a password is part of the separate, optional Mac Unlock setup.

How will face setup work?

One planned enrollment will serve both features. Verification is being designed around a prompted blink and background anti-spoof checks. Their effectiveness still needs validation in the native app.

What will App Lock protect?

The planned feature covers selected app content until you authenticate. It is a visual privacy layer, not encryption of another app’s files. Native security, compatibility, and battery use still require validation.
