If you own a cute cat, your cat can often work on your Mac’s keyboard, which can lead to a lot of unnecessary keystrokes and sometimes even unwanted communications. Cat Lock There is a solution for this and soon your cat will be able to freely roam your MacBook keyboard.
How it works
Cat Lock It can be activated at any time using Cmd + L, instantly disabling the keyboard and allowing your cat to roam free. There is also a menu bar app to change it, which can sometimes be more appropriate. When the keyboard is off, the app plays individual sounds with each disabled keystroke – so you can hear your cat typing even if you’re in another room. By default, your screen is also blurred.
If you’re in a meeting and keyboard input isn’t critical, you can also try stealth mode, which disables the keyboard without blurring or sound effects. The same rules apply and you can disable Cat Lock with Cmd + L.
All in all, if you’re looking for a great Mac app to stop unwanted keyboard typing while still being able to hang out with your cat near your Mac, Cat Lock is the program for you.
Download the program
Cat Lock available from the site Mac App Store for $2.99. This is a one-time purchase, no additional in-app purchases or subscriptions are required. It’s also free and full Sandbox tracking.
