@ourielohayon Check out the very comfy and very perfect Near Lock (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). I used to Knock, but no mo.
@quicklywilliam I literally cannot describe how much I love this, my favourite product of all time atm. I used key touch for a while, then tether but they were both too battery heavy and clunky, I would have typed my password in faster, Knock is really quick and I actually prefer to knock on my phone rather than use proximity, awesome job! One critique however is that you should try improve the time of notifications on the Apple watch or build a native app for Watch OS2
@david_diam Hi David, thanks for the great feedback! Unfortunately the timing of the notifications isn't something we have much control over – it simply takes some time for notifications to be delivered to the Watch from iPhone. A native app will not help as notifications always originate from the iPhone. That said, the native app would improve the Glance/app experience significantly, so we're definitely considering it.
Thanks, everyone. We'd love to make Android support some day, but we are a really small team. Two people!
@quicklywilliam I'm the only developer on a team of 3, so I know those feels. Very cool product, maybe I'll start carrying around my iPod Touch ;)
@quicklywilliam Love the app and use it everyday. Cool that you added in Touch ID support, had been tempted by your competitors that had that.
I love the admin password support, one weird screen where it trips up for me though is in the keychain. For some reason when you want to view a password it makes you put your password in once, and then a second time put in both username and password. I'm guessing Knock doesn't work due to the absence of a username, and that's one unavoidable edge case probably.
Either way love the app, and how smooth it makes me look every time :)
Also, a heads up: Knock 2.0 still 4 bucks today but tomorrow we’re raising the price with the release of Apple Watch!
@quicklywilliam congrats on the Apple Watch app. Looks great. How have sales been so far?
Installed it, played with it, got to agree with the feedback in the app store - when it works it's awesome, but it doesn't seem to work at least 50% of the time.
