About Paw Pause
Cat owners, this one's for you. Paw Pause lives in the menu bar and detects a cat on the keys by looking at key timing and positions, not at what you typed, so asdfghjkl stays out of the work chat.
Everything stays on-device, with no network calls and nothing stored, and the code is open under MIT. The app weighs about 250 KB and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
