Comment on Show HN: PanicLock – Close your MacBook lid disable TouchID –> password unlock

Comments

What's the timing like between the lid sensor firing and sleep actually kicking in on Apple Silicon? I ship a couple menu bar apps on M2 and listening for NSWorkspaceWillSleepNotification feels like you get maybe 200ms before the system is gone. If disabling TouchID requires a round trip to the secure enclave in that window that seems like it'd be a race.
