Baby Desk: Let your baby smash the keyboard and your work stays safe

Baby Desk turns your Mac into a full-screen baby playground that absorbs keys and clicks, including ⌘Q and ⌘Tab, while your work stays untouched. Stars, letters, and balloons keep little hands busy. Launch offer: $1.99 (regularly $4.99). macOS 13+.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Baby Desk after handing my laptop to my baby one too many times — one happy keyboard mash and my terminal had quit, my slides were gone, and a call had somehow ended. 😅 Baby Desk turns the whole Mac into a playground that *swallows* every keypress and click — even system shortcuts like ⌘Q, ⌘Tab and screenshots. On screen the baby gets stars, letters, a rainbow drawing trail and poppable balloons with gentle sounds; underneath, your code, docs and meeting stay exactly where they were. Only a parent can exit (a hidden combo + Touch ID / PIN), and there's a play timer, dim mode and volume cap. For launch, it's $1.99 instead of $4.99 — a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It's signed and notarized by Apple, and the interface follows your system language — English, 한국어 or 日本語. I'd love your feedback — especially from other parents who work on a Mac. What would make this a must-have for you?

Haha every parent working from home needs this. Requiring Touch ID or a PIN to exit is smart, babies are weirdly good at finding key combos

@uddipta Haha, exactly — little ones have a talent for finding keyboard shortcuts we didn’t know existed 😄 I added optional Touch ID or PIN to exit so parents can stay in control. Thanks for checking out Baby Desk!

love it, very useful. Cat protection next!

@artstavenka1 Hahaha, cat protection is a great idea 🐈 Do your cats type on the keyboard, or mostly claim it as a bed? Thanks for the suggestion!
