Most keyboard-locking apps were built for keyboard cleaning. Cats Lock is built for the cat moment. What stands out: • Stealth Lock mode (silent + invisible) for meetings • Customizable warning sound, with import for your own • ⌘L from main window or menu bar • Sandboxed, no analytics, no account • $2.99 one-time, no subscription Built by an indie developer for himself and his cat to enjoy.

This is the most 'Product Hunt' product I've seen today. Beyond just locking the keys, does it have a 'cat mode' that displays something fun on the screen while the keyboard is disabled?

@rivra_dev Ha! Taking that as a compliment 😸
Right now there's a friendly overlay with a pulsing paw and a "Cats Lock Enabled" message. When your cat actually mashes the keys, a warning flashes so you know they tried, plus a customizable sound on each blocked keypress. Check out the video demo on the site to see it in action. www.catslock.app.
A more playful "cat mode" with animations is a great v1.1 idea though — adding it to the list. Thanks for the comment!

this should ship bundled with macOS for cat owners. two of mine attached, both certified keyboard interns :)

@sergeynagorny Send this straight to Tim Cook! Your interns look highly experienced, exactly the demographic Cats Lock was built for. Thank you :)

Haha, are you making a system to destroy my MAC by letting the cat walk on it? Haha. Good thinking btw.
Cats Lock
@imrulkaayes Ha, the opposite actually, it locks the keyboard so the cat can nap on it without consequences. Cat wins, Mac survives.

@nikita_naumov Thanks Nick! It was one of those ideas I couldn't get out of my head until I actually made it. Appreciate the support & love!
