When cleaning my computer desk, I face two main problems: the first is laziness, and the second is having to disconnect the keyboard and mouse to avoid unwanted clicks.

I can't do anything about the first, but for the second, the [**CleanupBuddy**](https://cleanupbuddy.app/) app can help.

After installing it, you can choose what to block — the mouse, keyboard, or both. Then, just click the Start Cleanup button and start cleaning, knowing that the devices are protected from any presses.

To bring them back online, simply press and hold both the left and right command keys on the keyboard for three seconds.
