Jarcom Ltd is giving Apple’s Touch ID a run for its money. Touting its FaceСrypt app as “unbreakable,” the company aims to deliver the most comprehensive way to secure your iPhone via one simple app.

Apple’s Touch ID requires you to place a finger on the Home button to unlock your iPhone 5s, but FaceCrypt only looks at your face and recognizes you as the owner.

It literally unlocks the phone in a blink of an eye, because it actually requires you to blink, so that it knows it’s not someone else flashing a photo of you in front of the camera. Pretty smart!

“FaceCrypt addresses the dire need for industry-strength protection by offering enhanced biometric facial recognition technology alongside of pattern and password protection as well as robust data encryption to its Datavault with full and uncompromising backup and restore,” says Jarcom Ltd.

These guys are offering the whole shebang for only $6.99 / €5.99 while the Basic app sells for $4.99 / €4.49.
