Cloth
Clean your Mac. Without turning it off.
The problem
Dust, crumbs, and fingerprints don’t wait for you to shut down.
Every time you want to wipe your keyboard, you either shut down your Mac or risk accidental keystrokes, phantom clicks, and messages you never meant to send.
Lock everything.
Clean anything.
Cloth disables your keyboard and trackpad with one click, dims your screen to reveal every smudge, and gives you complete freedom to clean without worry.
What it does
Input lock
Completely disables your keyboard and trackpad. No accidental keystrokes, no phantom clicks, no rogue messages sent to your boss.
Screen dimming
Dims your display so every fingerprint and dust particle becomes visible. See exactly what needs cleaning, then wipe with confidence.
Instant resume
Done cleaning? Unlock and your Mac springs back to life exactly where you left off. No restart, no waiting, zero disruption.
How it works
Three seconds to a clean Mac.
Click Cloth in your menu bar
Cloth lives quietly in your macOS menu bar. When it’s time to clean, a single click activates it.
Keyboard and trackpad lock instantly
All input is disabled and your screen dims. You can now wipe every surface freely without triggering anything.
Unlock and resume, right where you left off
When you’re done, unlock Cloth and everything returns to normal. Your Mac is clean and your workflow is untouched.
Built for macOS
A native experience, thoughtfully crafted.
Cloth is a true macOS citizen. It sits in your menu bar, respects your system preferences, and uses native APIs for precise input control.
No Electron. No bloat. Just a tiny, focused utility that does exactly one thing and does it well.
