Reddit startup idea
Un Touch Id
Use your phone's fingerprint to authenticate on any Mac — sudo, screensaver, App Store. No $199 Magic Keyboard needed. Works with iPhone, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS, or any browser. Ready for MacBook Neo. The repo is showing breakout traction with 181 GitHub stars, 5 forks, and 16.4 stars/day over 11 days. That combination of recency and adoption makes it a strong candidate for a breakout app or managed SaaS layer.

Target customer
Early-adopter teams already pulling this workflow into production and willing to pay for a hosted, team-ready version
Problem-solution fit
The repo already shows strong pull around android, biometrics, kotlin. Packaging that pull into a hosted product reduces setup time, operational risk, and the gap between experimentation and team adoption.
