Clean Keyboard

Lock your keyboard to clean it easily.

Due to the limitation from the operating system level, some crucial keys like Fn key, media controls (volume, play/pause, etc.) or the Touch ID button are unaffected by this extension.

With mouse-click locking off, press Ctrl + U at any time to reenable the keyboard. With mouse-click locking on, this shortcut opens Touch ID instead.

On macOS Tahoe (26+), you can enable Lock Fn / function row keys in the extension preferences to also block the function row while cleaning.

Also lock mouse clicks (macOS)

Enable Lock Mouse Clicks in Clean Keyboard preferences to block clicks and dragging while keeping the pointer and scrolling available. The existing Lock Keyboard command, duration list, default-duration preference, and Ask AI tool all use this setting. It is off by default and is ignored on Windows.

This option requires enrolled Touch ID plus Accessibility and Input Monitoring access. Missing access is reported without repeatedly opening permission dialogs.

• Press Ctrl+U, or tap either or both Command keys three times within 1.5 seconds, to open Touch ID.
• Press Escape to cancel Touch ID and keep the lock active.
• Hold both Command keys for eight seconds to force release without authentication.

Timed sessions release automatically. The existing native event handler also releases input if its Raycast parent exits, its event loop stops responding, or the Mac sleeps or changes user session/display configuration. System-handled keys such as Fn, media keys, and Touch ID remain subject to the operating-system limitations above.

The recovery hold does not authenticate, so use the macOS lock screen when privacy matters.
