## What it is
A small Windows utility built with AutoHotkey and a WebView-based GUI that blocks keyboard (and optionally mouse) input so users can eat, write, or clean on their laptop keyboard without triggering keystrokes. It offers a simple floating window with toggle buttons for keyboard and mouse blocking.

## Use cases
- lock keyboard while eating noodles over laptop

- block keyboard while writing notes on laptop
- temporarily lock mouse and keyboard to prevent accidental input

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, one-click keyboard/mouse lock on Windows
- you want to clean or eat over your laptop keyboard without accidental keystrokes
