Onlyward.Taking shape.
Last updated
Onlyward is a macOS privacy startup incubated at Kalchuri LNCT Group Incubation Center (KLIC), founded by Abhigyan Dwivedi in Bhopal, India. We are developing app locking first, with optional face-based Mac unlocking as a separate future capability.
Incubated at KLIC
Onlyward is incubated at Kalchuri LNCT Group Incubation Center (KLIC), promoted by the LNCT Group of Institutions & Universities.
Our focus remains a dependable native App Lock experience, clear privacy controls, and careful validation before a public release.
Interactive concept available
The website now demonstrates sample-app selection, protection controls, simulated unlock and relock states, and the optional Mac Unlock animation. The current homepage explains the experience through a scroll story, while the hands-on demo has its own preview page.
Privacy, Terms, credits, and a public contact route are available. The preview uses fictional sample content and does not access your camera, passwords, or installed apps.
Now: native prototype validation
The native prototype includes protected-app selection, Touch ID or account-password authentication, per-app relock rules, guided face setup, encrypted face-profile storage, and authenticated data removal. A separate recognition test measures face similarity and prompted blink motion; it does not authorize access. Mac unlocking is not available yet.
No native download, testing date, or release date is announced. Broader app and hardware compatibility, recognition accuracy, spoof resistance, battery use, and distribution readiness still need validation.
Help shape Onlyward
Tell me which apps you want to protect and when someone else uses your Mac. You can also express interest in testing when a public testing build is ready.
