PawseKeys PRO

The keyboard locks.
Real life doesn't.

The cat walks the keyboard. Your kid hits a shortcut. Cleaning wipes a tab. One click on PawseKeys and none of it touches your work again.

"My cat deleted my entire spreadsheet." "My kid closed the deck without saving." "Got coffee, came back 3 paragraphs short." "Cleaning hung up my call by accident."

Free 14-day trial · macOS 12+ · then $7.99/year
