Developer Eric Castor, who made popular Cydia tweaks such as Lyric Flow and Mewseek has teased his upcoming tweak BioUnlock.

BioUnlock will let you unlock your Mac using your iPhone 5s Touch ID Sensor. The tweak works by using WiFi to communicate with your Mac from your iPhone. Bluetooth support is on the list of things to do, as well as Windows support.

Demo of my upcoming Cydia tweak, BioUnlock, which will allow you to unlock your Mac using the iPhone 5S TouchID sensor.

Support for Windows users is planned, but not for the first release.

The developer plans to 'charge a dollar or two' for the tweak, and you can expect it to be ready for purchase by the end of January.

It is not even on Cydia yet. It sounds like a way to get search traffic for BioUnlock.

Did you even bother to read the post? And where does it say it was out? If you read the entire article you'll see that it's expected for release by the end of January. Last time I checked we are in the middle of the month.
