If iphone is a part of your product it might be a good idea to make your website work well on mobile safari on iphone.

(This site seems to work ok on my iPhone 4 though)
I understand that you are trying to make this as simple as possible, but things you assume to be obvious might not be obvious for others. For example, where do I knock? Does the phone have to be awake? Does the app have to be open? etc.
Also, your app seems to be failing silently. I have been knocking all over the place and it would help tremendously if there was an alert telling me what had gone wrong. That way, I can email support and pinpoint exactly what is wrong. As of now, I have no idea why your app is not working.

Finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Put your phone flat on the table. Then tap twice on your phone and you should see rings show up on your macbook pro. Your phone can even be locked.
Do not hold the phone in your hands while you tap it. I was holding the phone in my hands before, which causes the taps to fail to register.

2. It seems the app changed something in the system settings, so that now, when I lock the screen, it goes off. Before, it started to show the screen saver. How to undo this?
3. You should have provided answers to my questions in your FAQ section, really.
Love the site and design. BUT something already does this, for free, it's called keycard. As someone else pointed out, very hard to find on app store, then also, it suddenly costs $3.99 in app store. YOU HID THAT PART NICELY. One other thing, why name your zip file "latest.zip" - took me a good minute to find it in download folder. Apple should already have this crap built in with new ios/mavericks though :( Also, do…

+ Excellent website + Really well thought-out interactions (noticing when I download, auto installing to /Applications) + Plain-English ToS under creative commons. - An unsigned latest.zip for downloading, at least use a dmg so you can sign and have more control over the presentation - Extremely difficult to find Knock on the app store. The app could open a web page or itunes, right now I'm left searching and wading…
The website is so well done. I love the UX.
I find this... useful. But I'm not sure why. I spent the $3.99, and it sort of feels like a novelty app... but I can see myself actually using it for it's intended purpose, so.. is it really a novelty at that point? I don't know, but I like how well it works.
Does the knock app have to be open to unlock your computer?

I disagree on the zip. dmg used to be the preferred format for reasons I never entirely fully understood, but that ship has sailed, and I think for the better. Zip is much more convenient. You can, of course, sign the app within the zip.
At least they need to change the name from "latest.zip" to "Knock for Mac.zip" or something like that.
Even better would be having it in the Mac App Store. Since you need to download the iPhone version from the App Store anyway, it would be better to keep things unified.
I wish someone would just hurry up and implement unlocking of your mac via touchid(I have no idea if its technically possible to use touchid for other apps then apples).
