What it does

Ever wipe your laptop screen and accidentally open Spotlight, trigger Siri, or change your resolution? CleanMode locks every input — keyboard, trackpad, mouse, Touch Bar, modifier keys, and the power button — with one click, so you can wipe down your laptop without shutting it down. Long-press anywhere to unlock. Works on macOS, Windows & Linux (most alternatives are keyboard-only and Mac-only). 7-day free trial, no card required. One-time purchase from $4.99.

I wrote this after the case of a Washington Post reporter, Hannah Natanson, was compelled to unlock her computer with her fingerprint. This resulted in access to her Desktop Signal on her computer, revealing sources and their conversations. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/washington-post-raid-pro... Edit: I've a lot more details about the legality and precedence on the apps landing page https://paniclock.github.io/

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
