Start now or later
Pause immediately or after 15, 30, or 60 seconds. Input stays active during the countdown, which you can cancel at any time.
Keyboard & trackpad lock for macOS
Clean your Mac.
Nothing gets typed or clicked.
Temporarily lock the keyboard and pointer while you wipe them down. Start now or after a short countdown, then unlock automatically.
A safer moment to clean
A predictable pause, your way.
Choose what to pause
Pause the keyboard, pointer input from a mouse or trackpad, or both. Keep one available while you clean the other.
Choose when it returns
Auto-unlock after 15, 30, or 60 seconds, or choose Never. Hold Space for three seconds when the pointer is paused, or click Stop in keyboard-only mode.
Private by default
Free. No account, licence key, analytics, ads, or network connection. Numb handles input locally and stores only your preferences on your Mac.
