This. This is what I’ve been waiting years for from Apple. (Not from Apple, but good enough)

 

[zellzoi]

This is both a funny and genius app idea

 

[krodatem]

Why aren't we funding this?!

 

[awshucks]

I have the KeyboardCleanTool app which disables the keyboard and it is free.

 

[jsavvy]

Umm do we need an app for this? It’s not April 1st. Either lock your computer, close it, or get rid of the cat.

(Checking to be sure it's not April 1st)

Needs to use the camera to detect cats in proximity and activate automatically!

 

[Gengar]

A dog would NEVER.

Now come out with an app that will disinfect your keyboard after your cat sits on it. 🤢

 

[gsmornot]

Version one was close the screen.

Adorbs 😻 although I totally wanted to see a cat launching off the desk when "cat hiss" or "dog bark" played at loud volume 🙀

 

[JPack]

Doesn't prevent the actual damage which is physical: liquids, fur strands in keyboard, scratches.

 

[Genelec8341]

I like the idea, but charging $3 to make something not work somehow seems wrong.

One time I came home and opened iTunes and found this (unfortunately empty) new cat-generated playlist:

I may not be too bright, but I think I would just close my laptop if there was risk for a cat on it. Heck, I tend to close my laptop simply because I stepped away for a moment.

Immediate purchase.

If you close the laptop, the cat can't sit on it for warmth and that makes the cat sad.

My cat (who incidentally looks a lot like the cat in the video) walks over the keyboard while I'm using it so a lock for when I'm away is... srgobnwre;oIShd t324y09GUVA WDV Nwgkanth aev. EFKJWG

...ugh that dang cat!

 

[Timpetus]

Clever idea for an app. The last time I had an indoor cat, he loved to climb on my keyboard at my desktop computer to try and lick my face (the best cats are too dumb to know they're not dogs, and he was a great one). He typed messages to my friends in WOW many times, but this was before webcams were commonly used, so I never had proof that it was the cat.

 

[Siliconguy]

A dog would NEVER.

Only because they grabbed the laptop and ran off to bury it.

Needs to use the camera to detect cats in proximity and activate automatically!

I kind of thought that was what this would be, given the ongoing AI hype.

 

[257Loner]

It turns out you don't need 'an app for that.' Just close the screen.

 

[MysteriousStain]

I’m not so sure this is a good idea. A spurned cat might seek revenge

I have the KeyboardCleanTool app which disables the keyboard and it is free.

AppStore Link plz 🙏😊
