Very Authenticator vs Zing Alarm

Use Very to securely, and privately, approve actions on your account with a palm scan. It’s an easier, biometric-powered version of one-time passwords or single sign-ons. The app uses your smartphone camera to register your palms. Your palm is analyzed and anonymized, so your personal data is kept private. After your palm is registered, a partner site can easily authenticate or approve actions by asking you to do a simple movement within the Very app. It only takes a few seconds. How to get started: Set up your Very account with an email address. Register both your palms by following the directions in the app. On a partner site, you’ll be given the option to authenticate using Very. Scan the QR code with the Very app and complete the simple movement to verify your identity. And you’re done! Very is private, secure, and backed by a decade of palm biometric research.

Zing is the alarm you turn off by moving in front of your camera. When your alarm rings, get up, place your iPhone where it can see you, and complete a short movement challenge. iOS lets you stop a system alert. Zing prepares backup alerts at 1, 3, and 8 minutes after the alarm time. Repeat prepares three occurrences ahead; reopen Zing regularly to prepare more. There are silent gaps between system alerts. CHOOSE HOW YOU WAKE UP • Boxing: hit the targets as they appear. • Slice the Fruit: move your hands to cut each fruit. • Freestyle: keep your arms and lower body moving. • Random: let Zing choose the challenge. BUILT FOR REAL MORNINGS • Create multiple alarms with their own times, repeat days, challenges, durations, and sounds. • System alarms can appear from the Lock Screen with Apple’s alarm permission. • Clear guidance tells you when you need more light, more space, or a different movement. • If you cannot finish, hold Give up for 30 seconds to stop the alarm. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Camera frames are processed in real time on your iPhone. They are never recorded, saved, or uploaded. Zing has no account, advertising, or tracking.
