Use cases
Where a second layer helps.
A password stops strangers. Failshot shows you the person who watched you type it, or already knew it. These are the moments it’s made for.
At work
Your desk, while you’re in a meeting.
Lock your Mac and turn Failshot on before you step away. Whoever unlocks it is photographed, with a short video to follow. Turn on email alerts and you’ll hear about it before you’re back. Watch the folders that matter, like contracts or payroll, and you’ll see who opened them too.
At home
A shared flat, or a house full of people.
When people around you may know or guess your password, Failshot shows you a photo of whoever unlocked your Mac while you were out. Confirm your own unlocks with Touch ID and they’re deleted, so only the ones that weren’t you are kept.
Travelling
A hotel room, a train, an airport lounge.
Turn on the web vault before you go, and the photos from any unlock that wasn’t you are kept encrypted online, so you can see them from any browser even if the Mac is gone. Turn on email alerts and location, and each alert says roughly where your Mac was.
Shared spaces
Libraries, coworking spaces and studios.
Stepping away for a coffee leaves your Mac where anyone can reach it. Leave a tripwire file where a snoop would look, and you’ll see who opened it, photo included. Tripwires switch on 26 October.
Organisations
The Macs your organisation issues.
Join a company Mac to your organisation, and its alerts are shared, encrypted, with your security team. Everyone using the Mac sees Failshot’s window, and organisations agree to tell them before Failshot is turned on. Failshot is for your own Mac, or one your organisation has authorised you to manage with it.
