Indie App Spotlight: ‘Cats Lock’ is a fun Mac app that so...
Michael Burk · 2026-05-17 · via 9to5Mac

Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you’re a developer and would like your app featured, get in contact.

If you’re a beloved cat owner, you might often have your cat running across your Mac’s keyboard, causing loads of unnecessary keyboard input, and sometimes even unwanted communications. Cats Lock has a solution for it, and soon your cat will be able to roam your MacBook keyboard freely.

How it works

Cats Lock can be triggered at any moment using Cmd + L, instantly disabling the keyboard and allowing your cat to sprawl freely. There’s also a menu bar app for toggling it, which may be more appropriate sometimes. When the keyboard is disabled, the app plays custom sounds on each disabled keystroke – so you can hear your cat typing even when you’re in another room. By default, your screen is also blurred.

If you’re in a meeting, per se, and keyboard input isn’t super necessary – you can also try stealth mode, which disables the keyboard without the blur or sound effects. Same rules apply, and you can disable Cats Lock with Cmd + L.

All in all, if you’re looking for a nifty Mac app to stop unwanted keyboard input while also being able to spend time with your cat near your Mac, Cats Lock is the app for you.

Download the app

Cats Lock is available for purchase on the Mac App Store for $2.99. It’s a one time purchase, with no further in-app purchases or subscriptions necessary. It’s also tracking free and fully sandboxed.
