MeowProof
2026A Windows tray app that locks your keyboard before the cat does.
Every cat owner who works from home knows the failure mode: you step away, the cat finds the warm keyboard, and you come back to forty browser tabs and half a Slack message. MeowProof exists because that kept happening.
One click — or a hotkey — and the keyboard is locked by a low-level Windows hook, with a soft acrylic blur drawn over every monitor so it's obvious the machine is paw-proofed. The fun part is smart paw detection: it watches typing patterns across four signals (keystroke timing, key randomness, simultaneous presses, hold duration) and locks automatically when the 'typist' is clearly not human.
- System-wide low-level keyboard hook with a global unlock chord that works even while locked
- Heuristic cat-vs-human detection over four typing-pattern metrics
- Per-monitor glassmorphism overlay via Windows compositor acrylic effects
- Auto-unlocks on sleep or session lock so you can never lock yourself out
- Ships as a single self-contained .exe — no installer, no runtime to fetch
