PawLock

Your cat thinks your keyboard is the comfiest bed in the house.  PawLock lets it stay there, without wrecking your work, your game, or your stream.

Click or drag across the keys your cat naps on, hit Cat Mode, and those keys stop responding instantly. The rest of your keyboard keeps working normally, so you keep typing, playing, or streaming while a warm fuzzball snoozes on the spacebar.

In a hurry? Block the entire keyboard in one tap. Toggle everything from anywhere, even mid-game, with the global shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C (you can change this to whatever you want).

KeyboardCat lives quietly in your system tray. It's simple, it's pretty, and it's 100% local : no account, no ads, no data collection, ever. Your keystrokes never leave your device.

Features

• Block individual keys, the top row, or the whole keyboard at once
• Global shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + C) : block/unblock without leaving your game or app
• Optional "cat detected" mode that arms blocking when it senses frantic typing (only available for the top-row of the keyboard to avoid mistakes)
• Block the mouse too, for full-surface protection
• Save and switch between profiles (gaming, streaming, baby-proofing…) that YOU create 
• Many layouts: QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, ЙЦУКЕН, JIS (Windows & Mac variants). More can be added on request !
• 7 themes and 8 interface languages. More can be added on request !
• Editable layout : rename, resize, add and move keys to match your real keyboard
• Completely offline : runs in the system tray, optional start with Windows

Who it's for

Cat owners, parents of curious toddlers, streamers, and anyone who's ever lost a paragraph (or a ranked match) to a paw on the keys.
