Furwall is a macOS menu bar app that uses the front camera and Apple's Vision framework to detect when a cat (or absence of a human) is at the keyboard, blocking keystrokes to prevent accidental typos. It combines local face/body detection with an event tap in a clever, privacy-conscious way, and includes failure-safe mechanisms and cat photo capture for a unique, playful utility.
Target audience: macOS users, remote workers, cat owners, developers
