Overview	Keypause for Mac is a free macOS application that temporarily disables your keyboard, allowing you to clean it without accidental inputs. It supports activation via a keyboard shortcut, menu bar icon, or terminal command. The application automatically re-enables keys after a set timer, ensuring a hassle-free process. While the keyboard is off, your mouse and trackpad remain fully functional. Keypause operates without taking focus from other applications and prioritizes user privacy by not reading typed input.
