Standard Python libraries give you access to system things - sysosplatform. I made something similar, but built specifically for macOS and Ren'Py. Could probably be done with standard Python tools already - but I wanted to make my own version. Not claiming to be a genius.

The project is still local, and before releasing it I want to know if anyone would actually find this useful.

The game asks for biometric verification via Apple Watch. The screenshot is in Russian, but I'm sorry, I'm too lazy to switch the system language.

Imagine: a climactic scene - and the player's desktop wallpaper changes to the game's CG art. Not inside the game window, but literally on their Mac desktop. When the game closes, everything restores itself automatically.

Or: the game asks the player to press their finger to Touch ID to "gain access to classified files" in the story. The player actually touches their MacBook.

This isn't modding - these are native Swift APIs wrapped so that any Ren'Py developer can use them in a couple of lines. Works on both Apple Silicon and Intel.

Would you want me to release this?
