Windows+L (whatever the equivalent shortcut in macos) for $3?

So just lock the user? And go back to the login screen?

Does it need an app? "Make noises to shoo away the cat" doesn't seem a killer feature, but good luck with this release.

It's really hard for me to tell from the video what this does exactly. I can infer the premise but it's unclear how this works.

I've used other keyboard locking tools in the past that were free. What I'd really love is a smarter app that detects keyboard mashing or whatever so I don't have to manually lock/unlock when my cats come around.

This is a great app and will likely sell well if put in front of the right people.

Many people are far too picky and have expectations out of line with the rest of the world when it comes to software. Ignore those. There are plenty out there who will happily part with $3 for some entertainment to share with their pet.

You will never please everyone.
