Baby Desk

Baby Desk turns a Mac into a full-screen playground that captures every keypress and click before the operating system can act on them. With Accessibility permission, it intercepts input at the system level, swallowing shortcuts such as quit, close, switch, screenshot, and other commands so that a child’s accidental presses do not disrupt open applications or unsaved work.

The screen shows three simple activities: a starlight keyboard that makes letters pop with sound, a sparkle drawing that leaves a glowing trail, a balloon pop that bursts confetti when keys or clicks are pressed, and a secret exit or timer lets the adult end playtime and return the desktop to its original state.
