Hey hunters 👋 I built CleanMyMacKeyboard to fix a dumb little problem: every time I tried to wipe crumbs and dust off my MacBook, I'd open 14 apps, fire off random shortcuts, and somehow rename a file to "jjjjjjjjj". So I made a tiny app that does one thing well — it locks your keyboard AND trackpad on a timer and drops a full-screen overlay so you can actually clean. • Pick a duration: 30s / 1m / 2m / 5m • Every keypress, click, gesture, and cursor move is paused • Lock releases automatically when the timer ends • In a hurry? Unlock early with ⇧⌥⌘L • No menu-bar clutter, no settings maze, sleeps when idle • Apple Developer ID signed + notarized It's a one-time $3.99 — no subscription, no account, no telemetry. macOS 13+. Would love your feedback, especially on the lock UX. AMA 🙌

Building a tiny app that locks your keyboard so you can wipe it clean

Every time I tried to wipe crumbs and dust off my MacBook, the same thing happened: random shortcuts firing, ghost trackpad clicks, and somehow a file renamed to "jjjjjjjjj". You can't actually clean a laptop while it's listening to every press.

So I'm building CleanMyMacKeyboard a tiny macOS app that locks your keyboard AND trackpad on a timer and drops a full-screen overlay so you can scrub in peace.
