Keypause is a macOS menu bar app that temporarily disables all keyboard input while users clean their keyboards, with a countdown HUD and multiple activation methods. The implementation uses accessibility APIs to intercept keystrokes and adds a playful mascot animation. It's a polished niche utility that solves a specific problem but doesn't introduce new technical paradigms.

Target audience: macOS users
