v1.0.1
2026-09-24
A small update that makes everyday use smoother. You no longer have to blink: the basic photo check is now the default, and it still stops a photo on a phone, a tablet or glossy paper. If you want the blink back, set Photo check to strict in the settings.
The settings are now grouped and explain the selected one, the animations are a little calmer, and the lock screen unlocks as soon as your face matches.
v1.0.0

Highlights
- Unlock the lock screen with your face
- sudo and admin prompts
- A bubble like Face ID

- Packages for Arch, Fedora, Debian and Kubuntu
