Ever tried to wipe down your keyboard, only to accidentally type asdflkjfslkj into a work chat and send it? Or maybe your cat decided your laptop was the perfect napping spot during an important task?

Input Lock is the simple, elegant solution. It's a lightweight Windows app that puts up a clean, fullscreen overlay and completely blocks your keyboard and mouse. When the timer is up, everything goes back to normal.

✨ Features

• One-Click Lock: A simple, intuitive UI to start the lock.
• Timed & Secure: A default 2-minute timer gives you plenty of time to clean.
• Emergency Hatch: Can't wait? Use the customizable emergency unlock combo (Shift + Alt + L by default).
• Smart Theming: Automatically adapts to your Windows light or dark mode.
• Total Block: Disables mouse movement, clicks, and all keyboard input.
• Native Look & Feel: Blends in perfectly with your Windows 10/11 desktop.
