If you\u2019re a beloved cat owner, you might often have your cat running across your Mac\u2019s keyboard, causing loads of unnecessary keyboard input, and sometimes even unwanted communications. Cats Lock has a solution for it, and soon your cat will be able to roam your MacBook keyboard freely.<\/p>\n

Cats Lock can be triggered at any moment using Cmd + L, instantly disabling the keyboard and allowing your cat to sprawl freely. There\u2019s also a menu bar app for toggling it, which may be more appropriate sometimes. When the keyboard is disabled, the app plays custom sounds on each disabled keystroke \u2013 so you can hear your cat typing even when you\u2019re in another room. By default, your screen is also blurred.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in a meeting, per se, and keyboard input isn\u2019t super necessary \u2013 you can also try stealth mode, which disables the keyboard without the blur or sound effects. Same rules apply, and you can disable Cats Lock with Cmd + L.<\/p>\n

All in all, if you\u2019re looking for a nifty Mac app to stop unwanted keyboard input while also being able to spend time with your cat near your Mac, Cats Lock is the app for you.<\/p>\n

Cats Lock is available for purchase on the Mac App Store for $2.99. It\u2019s a one time purchase, with no further in-app purchases or subscriptions necessary. It\u2019s also tracking free and fully sandboxed.<\/p>\n
