Field notes
Setup uses a circular twelve-position capture sequence, asking the user to turn their head slowly so the utility can learn multiple angles. During an unlock, the page describes a timed sequence in which the camera light activates, the face is measured, the saved password is entered through Accessibility permission, and the camera shuts off. The stated platform requirements are Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later, and a built-in camera.
