Products that do what Furwall – macOS menu bar app that blocks keys when your cat sits down does
Furwall is a tiny macOS menu bar app. While you're at the keyboard or mouse, the FaceTime camera looks for a human face or upper body. When it doesn't find one, the keyboard stops accepting input. Cat walks across your laptop, nothing happens to your code. Some notes: Apple's Vision framework runs locally. Video is processed in memory and never uploaded. On a block, Furwall saves one local JPEG to ~/.furwall/catpures/. A second Vision pass throws out anything that isn't a cat, so the daily count in the menu only reflects confirmed cats.

Hey HN! I made this app because I bite my nails way too much while I code It uses Mac's Vision library to track the location of your hands and mouth via the webcam. Then when it catches you biting, it temporarily covers your screen with a big obnoxious warning. You have to stop biting if you want to continue seeing anything. It's helped me a lot, so I hope it can help other nail-biters here :)
