Field notes
Glance combines a PAM authorization path with an Omarchy QML plugin that exposes live status, controls, and a lock-screen camera capsule. Its liveness design separates deny cues—such as glass glare or a phone-shaped rectangle—from confirm cues including facial depth, pose, and blinking. The page documents four setup commands and says enrollment takes five captures, while explicitly recording that heavy mode may reject a motionless, unblinking live user.
