so your target are users that:
- have an iPhone

- have never heard of Homebrew to install BLEUnlock
This is a very small market, you may not want to shell out $99 as you probably want make that money back.
- dabbygabby 6mo agoFair point, but that assumes it’s strictly an iPhone-to-Mac bridge. The scope is quite a bit wider: - Any BT device: The "key" doesn't have to be an iPhone. It can be a Garmin watch, an Ultrahuman ring, or even your Bluetooth headphones. - Windows support: I'm expanding to Windows next, which has a massive market of non-technical users who just want a simple UI. - Multi-device relay: This is the main technical differentiator. BLEUnlock is strictly 1:1 and prone to signal drops. Blunlock uses a relay architecture—one machine handles the BT proximity and instantly unlocks/locks all your other machines at your desk. If I can nail the multi-device roaming and make it dead simple for regular users across platforms, the $99 is a bet I'm willing to make. I appreciate the feedback!
- dabbygabby 6mo agoOne other thing I forgot to mention regarding the market size: the B2B compliance angle. SOC 2 requires employees to lock their screens every time they step away from their desks. Automating that without forcing people to type their passwords 50 times a day is a massive pain point for teams. If this can make compliance invisible, it becomes a pretty easy sell for companies.
