Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Abhinn, the developer behind Keyboard Cleaner.
The idea came after I spilled coffee on my brand-new MacBook and tried to clean it… only to trigger a mess of random keystrokes and shortcuts while wiping the keys.
So I built a tiny menu bar utility that temporarily locks the keyboard so you can safely clean it without accidental typing.
It’s simple, lightweight, and does one thing well.
Would love to hear your feedback or ideas for improving it!

@abhinnvyas This is awesome—I've genuinely been looking for something like this. Cleaning the keyboard without triggering chaos is such a pain 😅
Love how simple and focused it is. Great job on this!
The "does one thing well" menu bar app is a dying art — every "utility" ships as a bloated Electron suite now. Coffee-spill origin story is relatable. Curious whether Keyboard Cleaner auto-disables on key combos (like Cmd+Q) as a safety escape, or if it's strictly menu-bar-toggle.

@mcarmonas Hey Marti, I really appreciate you appreciation for the product. Also the keyboard cleaner enables with the menu bar but for disabling it you have two option 1. go to the menu bar and disable it 2. press the shortcut control+option+command+K ( I reduced the price from 10 dollars to 3 dollars just today because I thought maybe people were finding a bit pricey. What are your thoughts on it ? )
