How it works

How it works.

  1. Choose your inputs.

    Keyboard, trackpad & mouse, or both—built-in and external.

  2. Set a timer.

    Choose 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.

  3. Clean your Mac.

    Click “Start cleaning.” After the countdown, wipe things down. Input returns when the timer ends.

Some system gestures and hardware keys can still respond. See what’s covered

I wanted a simpler way to clean my MacBook. So I made Keydoze.

Good to know

Can I end a pause early?

Hold both Shift keys for two seconds. In trackpad & mouse mode, press Escape. Keyboard-only mode also has a “Finish now” button. The app keeps the recovery shortcut visible during your session.

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

macOS requires Accessibility permission to pause input. Keydoze only pauses input during a session you start. You can revoke permission in System Settings at any time.
