Sesame now supports AppleScript

Hi all - Atama software developer here. You may have heard of our Sesame proximity key (http://atama.io/sesame2), which locks your Mac when you walk away (saving you dubious posts on your FaceBook account) and unlocks it when you come back (saving you the drag of entering a password). The app that comes with the hardware has now been updated to include Apple Script support Sesame 2.2 is now out with support for AppleScript. We’ve just released v.2.2 of the app, which adds Apple Script support. We have some example scripts that you can use to get you started, such as: Mute,…

    I have been working on Sesame, an open-source password manager that keeps your vault local by default. You don't need an account to create or use a vault, and the hosted service never receives the vault itself. It's still early software and the independent security review isn't finished yet, so I am mainly interested in feedback, testing, and people looking through the code. (Linux support is yet to be released on v0.1.2, but currently is in the works.)

  • Talanoa▲341

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
