The Problem: Pets (especially cats) walking on keyboards, toddlers pressing keys, or the need for a quick cleaning break without shutting down. The Solution: Remote control for the original PawseKeys Mac app. One tap on your Apple Watch or iPhone instantly blocks all input on your Mac. Key Features: • Instant Remote Lock: Secure your Mac keyboard from across the room. • Timer Support: Set a specific duration for the lock directly from your device. • Status Sync: Real-time feedback showing if your Mac is currently "Locked" or "Active." • Lightweight: Minimal battery impact and zero configuration needed after the initial pair.
