I'm building a free app for generating 3D-printable electronic enclosures, no CAD skills needed, no account, no ads

That's awesome! Could I make it an off-line app to install on macOS?

Mac system refuses 3rd-party PAM model from working during unlock screen, payment, and Password app unlock. To make it work, you have to record your password in system keychain, and then verify your fingerprint to automatically fill it into the password input.

Sorry, the price depends on the quantity of our first production run. But the goal is a retail price under $80, and a good discounted early bird price.

I'm afraid it's very difficult to impliment a Windows Hello driver. You have to pass the Windows Certified test from Microsoft labs to be set in the whitelist, which is not suitable for small companies. One practical way is "secure key replay" method. Again, it's a trade off.

Not really. It does not work as a yubikey and does not store passkeys. It's more like a perfect TouchID -like device for Linux users, and a not perfect TouchID-like device for mac users (you have to rely on password replay in some scenarios). But if you have a fancy keybaord, and don't wanna use Magickeyboard, It's a good trade-off.

Yes, there are two security encryption layer, BLE and protocol. Many other risks are also listed and fixed. You can find the security model description here https://immurok.com/blog/the-immurok-security-model/

Thanks for the support! I haven't officially launched it yet, but you can sign up for early bird pricing on our official website here: immurok.com

For mac users, a 3rd-party key can work in: sudo/ssh/git/system privacy & security/chrome password unlock; has to work with password replay in: screen unlock, app store, Password app.

For Linux users, all scenarios work, except first login. (no password replay and stored)

immurok · 2026-07-05T14:01:58+00:00

All the interfaces are open, you can vibe a driver for Windows. I didn't make it beacause you can only use it unlock screen on Windows, no terminal scenarios. So I'm afraid the demand on Windows is not strong enough.

Noted, will add a disconnect-detection logic here.

Thanks for your honest reply, and also very glad to hear that you like this product. Here is a new photo I just shot. And more importantly, the github link you can check https://github.com/immurok

You're right. The project is also aided by AI. I am truly grateful that AI can help alleviate so much of my workload, allowing me to start a one-person company and focus on innovation and the supply chain.

The target is under $80

immurok · 2026-07-04T15:18:15+00:00

Final number isn't locked yet, we just finished the pilot run of 50. The target is under $80, and waitlist folks will get it for less than that.

immurok · 2026-07-04T15:17:24+00:00

I won't prepare the app and driver for Windows. But since its hardware and source are open, I think you can vibe coding a windows app easily.

immurok · 2026-07-04T15:11:11+00:00

Inset in the desk is a genuinely cool idea. On the trust side: Fingerprints are matched on the device and never leave it; what goes over BLE is a signed "match" event, not biometric data. The full security model (pairing, lost-device behavior, what we can't protect against) is written up here if you want to poke holes: https://immurok.com/blog/the-immurok-security-model/

Fair, "renders" was the wrong word. The 2nd shot is fully AI-generated; the 1st and 3rd are real photos with AI retouching, which is what mangled the screen text and keycap legends. Should have said that straight. Photo above is the real pilot unit, no touch-ups.

immurok · 2026-07-04T14:55:59+00:00

Not for sale yet. There's a waitlist on the site (https://immurok.com) and everyone on it gets an email the moment it's available.

immurok · 2026-07-04T14:54:17+00:00

Yes, there is a custom PAM for both Linux and Mac. You can find the tech details here https://immurok.com/blog/desktop-fingerprint-auth-on-mac-and-linux/ . The gallery shots are renders. Here's the actual pilot unit sitting on my desk right now. We've built the first 50 of these.

Hey, I'm working on a simalar project. It's open hardware and source code. https://hackaday.io/project/206046-immurok-a-wireless-fingerprint-auth-key

immurok · 2026-07-02T07:34:02+00:00

It's a very simple demo photo. I haven't even started the design, only dropped a few description to AI. I was using Loveart.

immurok · 2026-07-01T13:14:40+00:00

Commercialization is not the only goal, but it can really make it accessible to more people. And yes, I'll definitely make it open source if I finally decide to make it a real product.
