@AppsGanin AppsGanin released this 20 Aug 20:44

First release.

A black screen for wiping a MacBook: every display goes flat black so smudges show up, and the keyboard, trackpad and mouse go dead so a cloth cannot type into the Mac.

  • Exit with ⌃⌥⌘U held for 1.5 s — and only while no other key is down, which is why a cloth can never trigger it
  • ⌃⌥⌘ without U brings the on-screen hint back
  • Auto-exit is always armed (1–30 minutes) as the guaranteed way out
  • Full input blocking uses a CGEventTap and needs Accessibility permission; without it the screen still goes black, with a warning on screen
  • English and Russian, following your system language
  • Universal binary, Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13+

Install: open the .dmg and drag WashMyMac.app onto Applications. The app is ad-hoc signed, so macOS blocks the first launch — on macOS 15 and newer, open it once, then allow it from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Move it to /Applications before granting Accessibility: macOS ties that permission to the app's path and code hash.
